碳是一家领先的3D打印技术业务，为牙科3D打印行业提供了新的生产选择。
Announced at theInternational Dental Showthis week, the sustainability-orientated production solution offers significant cost savings, with up to a 65% increase in throughput and less material required per print. This reduces the cost per part considerably while boosting throughput. The Carbon Gen 2 aligner model solution comprises new proprietary software and high-performance resin that works with Carbon’s existing 3D printing systems and aligner model workflow.
“Working with the top clear aligner companies has given us insight into the barriers this industry faces on a daily basis. We heard from customers, and we took action to create efficiencies and cost savings in the clear aligner workflow,” said Terri Capriolo, Senior Vice President, Oral Health at Carbon. “This new aligner workflow is designed to enable Carbon customers to reduce cost per part while simultaneously improving model throughput with a more sustainable production process.”

A workflow for dental 3D printing
The Gen 2 aligner model solution will provide new and existing clients with integration to Carbon’s existing clear aligner workflow, used by major aligner manufacturers to make millions of custom clear aligners each month worldwide. The dental 3D printing solution includes the Carbon L1 printer, a solventless spin-cleaning solution, and API-based software that automates the hollowing, nesting, and batching of 3D printed models. Carbon’s new production solution automatically hollows models with software tools and, coupled with Carbon’s UMA 20 resin, provides a novel method that delivers a cost-effective and sustainable option for transparent aligner producers.
Gen 2对准器模型解决方案为对齐器制造商提供了创新，同时利用其现有的碳订阅，并可能导致每零件成本降低，整个过程提高并提高了可持续性。每零件的成本通过增加吞吐量而降低，同时减少每个零件的树脂使用情况。根据碳测试，全自动空心可为每个物品节省多达40％的树脂。基于碳测试，通过自动空心软件改进了吞吐量，结合了UMA 20树脂，将组件吞吐量提高了65％。无溶剂模型清洁消除了溶剂废物，并允许树脂重复使用，从而提高了可持续性。
Advances in the dental 3D printing sector
Candid，一家正畸公司，与碳一起生产highly-customized clear dental aligner models using Carbon’s resin-based digital light synthesis(DLS) technology and L1 3D printers. This collaboration led to Candid’s new offering, called Candid Pro, which provides an “orthodontics-as-a-service” solution for dental professionals and orthodontic practices seeking to scale up their patient base while outsourcing aligner manufacturing work.
Carbon的Phil Desimone对坦率地生产最合适的对准器的合作感到自豪。这个新的生产过程将使临床医生能够提供负担得起有效的患者治疗。
Tandid Pro是由Tandid的联合创始人Lynn Hurst设计的端到端解决方案。该服务利用坦率的牙齿矫正者网络为每个患者创建个性化的治疗计划。牙科临床医生只需要启动此案，而坦率的临床护理团队和技术专家则使用客户提供的3D医疗扫描来照顾其余的。坦率的应用程序允许透明度，使客户可以远程监视患者的进度并最大程度地减少所需的办公访问次数。
Carbon的L1生产系统是Candid Pro流程的关键部分，因为它使坦率地生产了具有效率和可靠性的数百万个高准确的对准器模型。这种合作伙伴关系使坦率地为每位患者提供定制解决方案。Desimone说，这是牙科行业迈出的重要一步。
3D printing is also enabling innovation in the dental aligner market. Researchers from Germany, Egypt, and the UAE have developed a3D打印的牙科对准器with “4D” shape memory capabilities, potentially making it an alternative to single-use dental products. The orthodontic device, made from Kline Europe’s transparent ClearX resin, softens once inserted into a user’s mouth, allowing it to grip and reposition misaligned teeth. It has been proven to predictably change its properties over time and offers a more comfortable way of repositioning teeth than traditional braces. The researchers suggest that shape memory polymers could help address the speed “shortcomings of conventional materials.”
聚合物不是唯一具有牙科应用的3D可打印材料。高性能3D印刷陶瓷在各种应用中具有巨大的潜力，包括机械，电子，空间，药物和牙科。Lithoz首席执行官Johannes Homa说，陶瓷在3D印刷中经常被忽略，但有可能变得丰富。
Lithoz自2017年以来一直与医生合作，并提供了几种可用的骨骼替代材料，包括最近开发的Lithabone HA 480，它改善了壁厚，生物相容性和几何柔韧性。Lithoz开发了这种材料，以满足想要更广泛应用的外科医生和从业人员的需求，包括3D打印大型颅骨替换植入物的能力和柔软材料可以生长的封闭表面。预计未来几年将报告使用Lithoz材料的长期结局。
