The Role of 3D Printing in Orthodontics and Prosthetics
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) in Dentistry
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is another 3D printing technology with applications in the Dental 3D Printing Market, though it is more commonly used for dental models. This technology is a part of the broader market landscape, as detailed in reports like the one on the Dental 3D Printing Market. FDM works by extruding a thermoplastic filament layer by layer. While not as precise as SLA or DLP, it is often more affordable and can be used for training models, study aids, and other non-critical applications. The discussion could explore the trade-offs between cost, speed, and precision when choosing a 3D printing technology and the specific niche that FDM fills within the dental industry.
