ROCK HILL, S.C., U.S.: Overall the dental community can agree that digital is the future and almost every area of the profession is seeing considerable makeovers in the digital direction. At the 3D Printing Industry Awards recently held in London, U.K., South Carolina-based company 3D Systems received the 2018 Healthcare Application of the Year award for its NextDent 5100, a 3-D printer of orthodontic and prosthodontic appliances.
Presented by global media company 3D Printing Industry, the event was held for the second consecutive year. Categories cover a number of areas, including Outstanding contribution to 3-D printing, Innovation of the year, Aerospace or Automotive application and 3-D scanning application of the year. The awards, presented to individuals and companies alike, are given to those who have received the most votes by the readers of 3D Printing Industry’s media.
“This award recognizes a momentous shift in the market for digital dentistry, as there is a tremendous growth opportunity for dental 3-D printing.
