DCD Expands Digital Dentistry Business with Additional Stratasys 3D Printer
MINNEAPOLIS and REHOVOT, Israel, August 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
German dental lab, DCD, has moved from traditional dental plaster moulds to
3D printed models, increasing quality and productivity, now with an additional 3D printer
Stratasys ( [http://www.stratasys.com ]NASDAQ: SSYS), a leading manufacturer of 3D
printers and production systems for prototyping and manufacturing, today announced that
German dental laboratory, Dental Consulting Dohrn GmbH [http://www.dcd-dohrn.de ] (DCD),
has seen an increase in productivity following the installation of an additional Objet
Eden260V 3D Printer

Since introducing Stratasys 3D printing into its workflow in January 2012, the company
has been able to 3D print dental and ortho models, better quality to those produced
manually, in a much shorter timeframe and at a significantly lower cost.
"The first time we utilized a digital workflow, I was amazed at the accuracy and
quality of 3D printed dental models in comparison to our traditional plaster models," says
Heiko Dohrn, Master Dental Technician at DCD. "We've seen immediate benefits where we can
now produce a high number of extremely accurate models, all in a single print job. With
analog procedures in the past, manufacturing at that level was just not possible. The
intraoral scan files, mainly, 3Shape Trios, and diverse software for all areas allow us to
support the German dental market and universities with very precise products- this is a
real game-changer for us."
Based in Frankfurt, DCD has over 30 years' experience as an independent dental
laboratory and has been delivering dental solutions to dental practices nationwide and
worldwide for almost 50 years. Markus Dohrn, Deputy Managing Director at DCD and son of
Heiko Dohrn says that, customers have been amazed by the new possibilities enabled by
digital dentistry and has since led to a 32% increase in efficiency. "This is what led us
to install our second system in July this year - we found this technology addresses our
needs and having two machines allows us to manage our workflow even more effectively,"
explains Heiko Dohrn.
Using Stratasys technology, DCD 3D prints a number of dental and ortho applications
including bridges, individual implants, crowns, veneers, manufacture rails, retainers and
many more. The traditional manual process is old, time-consuming and imprecise; Stratasys'
3D Printing, in combination with for example, 3Shape software, accelerates, precision and
offers unexpected opportunities for material improvement.
"DCD [http://www.dcd-dohrn.de ] is just one of many dental labs today becoming much
more competitive by introducing 3D printing into their workflow," says Avi Cohen, Director
of Global Dental at Stratasys. "With hundreds of installations worldwide, our Objet
Eden260V 3D Printers continue to demonstrate that both high accuracy and resolution is
urgently required in this market. We believe dental labs are now reaping the benefits of
3D printing, with the increase in quality and productivity enabling them to offer an
extended range of services to customers, at more competitive prices."
The Objet Eden260V 3D Printer with the special VeroDent material is the rapid
prototyping solution of choice for many dental labs worldwide for a wide range of
applications, from stone models and orthodontic appliances, right through to models for
clear aligners, retainers and surgical guides. The Objet Eden260V prints at 16-micron
layers is designed to deliver professional-grade models with exceptional details and
accuracy.
