[QUOTE="deadhead, post: 253507, member: 19095"] i would agree with you rkm. 3D printers are good for models but that about it(well at the moment). I mean look at the video for the denture. dont know about you but i wouldnt want that in my mouth. looks completely fake. not even close to being realistic(talking about the teeth). i believe soon there will be a printer that will be able to do realistic denture/teeth but not at the moment. to much involved with color and how many materials would be need to print a realistic denture or tooth. When i say print a denture I mean doing it as one piece not two or three or etc. too much involved because when u print with multiple materials u need a way to cure each layer and clean off surface before adding different materials(with printers like the forms). dont see the forms printer every being able to print multiple material as one piece like the extruder printers can do. Those will be the printers that will change model printing for dentistry since you can already print with multiple materials and print with multiple materials and print it as one piece. So all in all I am agreeing with you that there are lots of dentistry related things with the printers but it still needs work, and i am sure most people would agree with that. [/QUOTE]
