OEM 3D Systems has recently introduced new solutions for dental 3D printing. They include the NextDent® Jetted Denture Solution for multi-material monolithic dentures as well as solutions for night guards and direct printed aligners.
Over the years, the company has positioned itself as a strong technological partner for dental healthcare providers through 3D printing solutions that continuously optimize the 3D printing process.
The solutions recently unveiled were showcased at LTM Lab Day 2025, the largest dental laboratory show in the world.
The NextDent® 300 MultiJet 3D printer
This 3D printer is said to facilitate the rapid production of patient-specific dentures that are fully cured and safe to handle without the need for additional post-curing steps.
The 3D printer can be used along with NextDent® Jet Teeth and NextDent® Jet Base materials — the former uniquely formulated to mimic tooth rigidity and aesthetics, and the latter to absorb impact.
When these materials are used as part of 3D Systems’ FDA-cleared complete workflow solution comprising materials, jetted 3D printing technology, software, and services, high-volume dental laboratories can deliver dentures with improved performance and aesthetics, resulting in a superior patient experience.
The speed of 3D Systems’ jetting technology combined with monolithic denture printing accelerates total production rates — enabling a full build of 15 arches in as little as nine hours — significantly reducing time to completion, resulting in expedited delivery to the prosthodontist and patient.
Key applications: Night guards and clear aligners
Night guards are a rapidly growing market segment driven by the need to prevent damage to teeth from night grinding, an affliction affecting millions of people around the world. Night guards are also increasingly used by physicians for the treatment of sleep apnea and related disorders. The Company expects night guards to become an important element of its dental technology portfolio in late 2025.
Furthermore, 3D Systems’ 3D printing solutions enable the manufacture of roughly one million patient-specific clear aligners daily. Such production could also be achieved with the NextDent® Jetted Denture Solution.
“3D Systems has been a pioneer in digital dentistry for years, establishing itself as an industry leader,” said Dr. Jeffrey Graves, president & CEO, 3D Systems. “Additive manufacturing is poised for widespread adoption across all dental applications — to straighten, protect, repair and replace teeth — and we’re perfectly positioned to capitalize on this growth. Our decades of experience developing specialized dental materials and 3D printing technology along with our deep applications expertise will allow us to bring a full spectrum of high-volume production solutions to market in the coming years. We’re committed to this expansion and are working closely with key players in every dental product category to accelerate the availability of these advancements.”
The general availability of this solution is anticipated for the third quarter of 2025.
