Research and Design of Denture Manufacturing Production System Based on Integrated 3D Printing Technology

Abstract

In the rapidly advancing field of digital manufacturing technology, dentistry has entered an unprecedented era of technological revolution. The convoluted steps, exorbitant costs, and inefficiencies of traditional denture fabrication processes demand a novel production system to meet contemporary demands for efficiency, precision, and customization in oral healthcare. This study aims to devise and actualize a denture manufacturing production system underpinned by integrated three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. Utilizing oral scanners and computer-aided design software, we established a comprehensive production workflow encompassing design, preparation, printing, post-processing, and quality control and inspection. Findings suggest that such an integrative approach significantly enhances manufacturing accuracy and efficiency while reducing costs. Beyond presenting a novel paradigm in dental production, this research also forges new pathways in the application of digital manufacturing technology. Ultimately, this study furnishes pivotal technological support to elevate the quality and personalization of dental care and contribute to socio-economic advancement.
