So it's probably safe to say that more labs have 3D printers than don't. And more and more dental offices are getting them too. It's a crowded area with a lot of different printers and resins to choose from. Joining the podcast this week is a IT and computer expert that years ago helped some dentist get into printing. Now Mike Gordon runs 3DNA Dental helping labs and offices get into the world of additive manufacturing. Mike talks about how he discovered dental, how he is creating a A.I. think tank to perfect treatment planning of tooth movement, how shape memory makes direct-to-print clear aligners better, and what exciting things we will see soon in the dental printing space.
