Dental 3D printing materials are designed for use with additive manufacturing processes to create a range of models, guides and other parts for dental restorations and treatments. These materials are often resin-based and can be delivered as a liquid. Most 3D printing materials are suited to a specific use such as the fabrication of printed models, surgical guides or wax patterns for casting. When choosing a 3D printing material, it is important to make sure it is compatible with your printer, and that the material you choose is approved and suitable for your planned use.
