    Orthodontist Omaha Dental Lab Tests 3D Printing Advice

    Ive been operating a small dental lab for Dr. Brown of Orthodontist Omaha Ive purchased the Form 1 printer 3 years ago and had been successfully 3d printing CAD-designed dental restorations for cire-perdue metal casting. I would like to ask for advice as I think this is the best place to ask this question. What is the best 3d printer for an orthodontist clinic? Ive been using a really outdated printer and needs advice on the current models. What about an affordable scanner that I can use for scanning patients' mouth or that can scan the impressions the orthodontist have produced? Thanks in advance.

    there are awesome awesome sla machines being aimed at dentists art the moment.
    Had a fairly long chat with someone at the tct selling machines aimed at the orthodontist industry. Think I took pictures, the machines aren't cheap - but the recults are pretty amazing.
    I'll have a look at the ipad when i;m back in the house and find out who they were :-)

    They will cost more than a form :-)

    But i suppose in the states, making orthodontist accessories is like printing money anyway :-)

    We are working with dentists and used form 1+ until a few weeks ago. We are still using it but we also bought Form 2 and Dental material. And the details are much better.
    Usually, in my country, the service for expensive printers is very bad.
