3D printing company Formlabs and Medit, a dental 3D scanner company, have partnered to give Medit Link users access to an app that prepares computer-aided designs for dental that can be printed on Formlabs' printers, according to a Feb. 23 news release shared with Becker's.
The Formlabs PreForm app is now downloadable directly through Medit Link. Its goal is to make 3D printing more efficient for in-office use.
"Formlabs Dental is expanding access to 3D printing, and doing so requires partnering with industry leaders like Medit to address barriers to adoption in the dental industry," Formlabs Chief Product Officer Dávid Lakatos said. "Together, we've created a complete chairside workflow that addresses these barriers to make the technology more accessible, with the ultimate goal of unlocking the benefits of dental 3D printing for both providers and patients."
