Very Dental: What's Next in Printing and Milling with Damien Bonner of CAD-Ray Apr 12, 2024

Show notes

Alan was joined in the Chicago Midwinter podcast lounge by Damien Bonner of CAD-Ray.

CAD-Ray is a one stop shop for all things digital in dentistry and there is no one better to talk about it than Damien Bonner! Damien walks us through the state of the art in dental 3D printers. It turns out that which printer is right for you depends on what you're using it for, what materials you'll need to use, how much of an enthusiast you are and how much you'll be printing.

Then...we dig in to mills! If you can print it, you can mill it, too. CAD-Ray has those, too!

Ivoclar introduced Zircad Prime blocks at Midwinter this year and it turns out Dave is one of the beta testers who has used them most extensively! According to Heather the whole roll out was "low key amazing!"
