"The global dental 3D printing market is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period... Dental 3D printing is a form of modern dentistry and is considered to be wide-spreading in the dental industry. Dental 3D printing involves creating three dimensional solid dental models such as dentures, surgical guides, dental implants, crown, and bridges." From Market Research Future Report: Dental 3D Printing Market
For this Heat Treat Today Technical Tuesday, we are featuring a Best of the Web that highlights cutting edge applications of additive manufacturing (AM). For many in the world of heat treat, AM and 3D are things of the future, oftentimes foreign to the heat treater's processes. What this article reveals is that AM can be utilized in essential and beneficial ways within heat treating.
An excerpt: "...This research and development project managed to optimize the process of making a dental prosthesis using a vacuum furnace. The additive manufacturing allows to create shapes, weights and dimensions customized on different needs and with a precision that has no equal. Strengthened by these peculiarities, the research team worked to further refine and complete the process chain of dental prostheses. Let's see step by step how this process happened."
