Dental Industry Sees Surge in Demand for 3D Printing Technology with SYS Systems Reporting 350% Sales Growth.

SYS Systems, a 3D printer OEM supplier, has seen a 350% increase in sales due to high demand from dental clients. The Stratasys J5 DentaJet 3D printer, designed for dental applications, is driving lab adoption with its ability to produce full-color prosthetics such as dentures, crowns, and bridges in a single production step. The printer's accuracy and efficiency have contributed to reduced patient chair time during procedures.

UK-based SYS Systems, a leading distributor of 3D printers, has reported a significant increase in sales, particularly in the dental market. The company has seen a 350% surge in sales of Stratasys J5 DentaJet printers, designed specifically for dental applications [1].

The J5 DentaJet printer, when used with Stratasys' TrueDent CE-marked resin, can produce full-color prosthetics such as dentures, crowns, and bridges in a single production step. This capability reduces the need for manual assembly and shortens the overall production time [1].

SYS Systems has been installing the J5 DentaJet at a rate of one every two weeks since the beginning of the year, reflecting the growing demand in the dental sector. The company believes it may well be the leading distributor in Europe for the J5 DentaJet system [1].

Matt Fulton, Managing Director of SYS Systems, attributes the surge in sales to the increasing adoption of additive manufacturing in the dental industry. "Additive manufacturing is revolutionizing the way we make things, and the dental market is the latest to switch on to the benefits," Fulton said. "It’s a real win-win for dentists and labs. The 3D printed prosthetics are versatile, highly durable, and deliver the best aesthetics – all achieved in half the time it takes compared to the traditional route" [1].

Prime Dental Laboratory, an early adopter of the J5 DentaJet system and TrueDent material, has seen a 'profound impact' on both clinical outcomes and productivity. Co-owner and Clinical Dental Technician Tim Jackson noted the improved speed and durability of the 3D printed dentures, stating, "We’ve thrown it down the corridor and even stomped on it and it’s unbreakable" [1].

The J5 DentaJet printer's 18-micron accuracy and multi-material, full-color printing capabilities have been crucial in meeting the high-precision requirements of dental applications. This has contributed to reduced patient chair time during procedures such as crown fittings [2].

The growing demand for 3D printing in the dental sector is not limited to the UK. Dental labs in France and Germany have also adopted the J5 DentaJet printer to meet growing demands for accuracy, efficiency, and visual quality [2].

The surge in sales of the J5 DentaJet printer highlights the increasing adoption of digital dentistry and the potential for 3D printing to revolutionize the dental industry. As the global demand for dental prosthetics continues to rise, particularly among the elderly population, the dental industry is expected to see further growth in the adoption of 3D printing technologies [3].
