Fast Printing: Scan to Aligner in Less Than an Hour
A progressive dental clinic is rewriting the playbook on how clear aligners are produced—offering patients same-day orthodontic care with unprecedented speed and precision.
Traditionally, making dental aligners has been a multi-day process involving physical impressions, outsourced model fabrication, and extended delivery times. However, by adopting cutting-edge 3D printing technology from Formlabs, this clinic has dramatically improved efficiency and patient satisfaction.
The new workflow is powered by the Formlabs SLA 3D printer and Draft Resin V2, allowing the team to print highly accurate dental models in mere minutes. Here’s how the process breaks down: What once took days is now completed in less than 40 minutes.
This high-speed process not only saves time but also reduces operational costs. The clinic can now print up to 11 dental models in just nine minutes, achieving a full return on investment within as few as four to five patient cases.
With this setup, the dental team maintains full control over treatment planning, enhancing flexibility and patient-specific customization. The real game-changer? Same-day starts—patients walk in for a consultation and leave with their treatment underway the very same day.
As dentistry increasingly intersects with digital manufacturing, clinics like this one in Baner stand at the forefront—demonstrating how innovation can turn time-consuming treatments into streamlined experiences, all while improving accessibility and care quality.
