GLOBAL DENTAL 3D PRINTING MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS
Industry 4.0 is changing the way manufacturing, production, and global businesses operate through the use of smart computers and connected devices. 3D printing is amongst some of the advancements the field of manufacturing has witnessed, adding on to the novelty of different technologies used. 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, creates three-dimensional objects layer by layer using computer-aided design. In fact, its versatility in crafting complex models from diverse materials has made 3D bioprinting valuable across various industries, such as dental, aerospace, healthcare and other manufacturing sectors. The dental industry, in particular, has seen rapid adoption of 3D printing due to the advancements in in-house dental printing, the expansion of digital dentistry, and growing demand for 3D-printed products.

This technology offers various benefits, such as high-quality and precise dental products like crowns, bridges, dentures, surgical guides and implants. Further, it is also a time efficient and cost-effective process for both patients and dentists. Consequently, the growing burden of dental diseases and the challenges associated with the conventional dental product manufacturing methods can be easily met with the increased adoption of 3D printing in the dental industry.
