 "Altem launches 3D printers for dental clinics")
Altem Technologies, the leading partners for Stratasys and SLM in India, has introduced 3D printers for orthodontic practices and laboratories. The new printers allow dental professionals to push the boundaries of digital dentistry right from their desktops.
The goal with the 3D printer is to enable any lab or dental clinic to fabricate stone models from their desk tops for appliances, delivery and positioning trays, models for clear aligners, retainers and surgical guides.
The 3D printing technology enhances accuracy, eliminates risk and also reduces the need for messy, time-consuming procedures that are currently being followed. It can help save more than 50 percent of a technician’s time in designing and manufacturing restorations, which means a substantial reduction in operational costs as well.
Altem proprietary 3D printing materials provide full solutions for a variety of applications when combined with the PolyJet technology.
“Altem is leading the way in helping to advance patient care by introducing solutions that enable personalised surgical planning and mass customisation. No more guessing or no more figuring-it-out as we go only digital precision,” commented Prasad Rodagi, founder director, Altem Technologies.
Altem will be able to unveil a number of other orthodontic solutions that have shown a high degree of success by the process of 3D printing. The company helps make practices far more efficient by dramatically shortening delivery times, improving service levels with accuracy along with cost reduction.
Altem Technologies, founded in 2011 by Prasad Rodagi and his associates, is the industry leader and has been instrumental in popularising 3D printing technology to India. The company is a leading partner for Stratasys Ltd, a leader in global 3D printing for both Polyjet and FDM Technologies, and the pioneer value added reseller (VAR) for Dassault Systems’ 3DExperience PLM solutions in India besides dealing in hand held professional 3D scanners from Artec3D.
