Aim: To evaluate and implement Laser-Based Additive Manufacturing (LBAAM) for producing high-quality dental prosthetics, improving efficiency, precision, and profitability in dental workflows.
Brief description: The OrthoDent project investigates the feasibility of using LBAAM techniques, particularly Stereolithography (SLA), to produce dental crowns and partial dentures. It explores the technical and financial viability of integrating advanced manufacturing methods into dental clinics, emphasizing precision, material selection, and workflow optimization. The project includes consultation with dental technicians, software exploration, and the production of prototypes for evaluation.
Benefits: The project demonstrates that LBAAM can significantly reduce production time and enhance the accuracy of dental prosthetics. SLA technology delivers superior quality and biocompatibility, making it suitable for patient use. While the partial denture production shows clear profitability, the findings highlight opportunities to streamline crown production for greater efficiency. This approach bridges traditional techniques with modern technology, offering faster, cost-effective, and precise solutions for dental applications.
