Glidwell is the owner of Glidewell Laboratories in Newport Beach, CA, one the single largest dental labs in the US. Today, Glidewell 3D prints dental prosthetics on nearly a dozen EnvisionTEC printers, both desktop and production models. “Our Perfactory 3D printer from EnvisionTEC allows us to create highly precise wax patterns at a fraction of the time required for a hand wax-up,” Glidwell said.
And EnvisionTEC offers an industry-leading dental materials portfolio that includes several FDA- and CE-approved materials for long term use in the mouth. These include NextDent C&B MFH, NextDent Denture 3D+, E-Guard, E-Guide Tint, and E-IDB, with more added regularly. These dental materials 3D print a full range of models (dental and orthodontic), castables (crowns, bridges, partial frameworks), restorations (crown, bridge, full roundhouse, as well as complete dentures) and appliances (surgical guides, bite splints, indirect bonding trays).
