3D printing is set to change the way we make everything – from residential homes to artificial bone implants. No longer reserved for prototypes and models, 3D printing – technically known as additive manufacturing – is now precise enough for dentistry, durable enough for car parts, and on course to disrupt the entire manufacturing industry.
In America, where dentists are turning to digital technology to provide better services for patients, refrigerator-sized machines created by Israeli startup Nexa3D print dental retainers, night guards and other accessories that used to require multiple molds of patients’ teeth and hours of lab work. The new method is faster and often results in better-fitting products.
Nexa3D’s NXE400 ultra-fast printer increases productivity by 20 times compared to competitors and is set to transform 3D printing from a tool for prototype designers to a fully-fledged industrial machine operating at production scale. The step change promises to transform the 3D printing industry in the same way broadband internet replaced dial-up.
