3D printing in the medical field can be roughly divided into two categories: non-biological 3D printing and biological 3D printing. Compared with biological 3D printing, the principle of non-biological 3D printing is relatively simple, and the required materials are relatively easy to obtain, so it has been widely used in the medical field. Dentistry is one of the most promising fields in non-biological 3D printing. According to Antarctic Bear, the first batch of 3D printing and machining centers for dental precision parts in the country will be built in Xi'an and Shaoxing, and the construction party will know the information of the oral digital enterprise.
The Chinese dental market is expected to exceed 200 billion in size, and denture processing is close to 20 billion. However, most of the dental care and high-value consumables are imported. Zhibei Information EZ Dental Cloud is the only intelligent hardware SaaS system in the field. It applies image data and intelligent analysis to the management of doctor-patient treatment projects and the 3D printing supply chain. The person in charge of the company said that it plans to raise 10 million Pre-A rounds and release 10% equity for technology research and development investment and market expansion.
The application of 3D printing technology in the field of dental restoration mainly includes removable dentures, orthodontics and dental implants. Dental is currently the most promising 3D printing technology in the medical field. According to the forecast in the Smartech market research report, it is estimated that by 2020, the market size of 3D printing in the dental industry will exceed $ 2.3 billion.
