[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 347007, member: 25140"] Yes it is possible. In all honesty it's remarkable the technology that exist today. The company is Arfona, or arfonaprinting.com. The process is possible due to there special patented printer that prints Valplast. There is the material for the base and material for the teeth that work together during the print job. It is not just printing the base then you glue the teeth. It one monolithic structure. The fit is great and remarkably flexible and the occlusion is spot on. The only downside is the esthetics, very dull almost mat-like. They will be at LAB Day introducting there 2.0, whatever that means. Hopefully they have improved the esthetics because everything else works great. On a side note digital is the future. Just saw a video today from Absolute Dental Service talking about partnering with a company that is printing Zirconian crowns. Now to be fair both of these materials are no where near the current gold standards we use today. But it's 2022 and printing metal, thermoplastic and zirconian are all things that are happening now. Pretty soon we will be printing people, lol. [/QUOTE]
