A new report from SmarTech assesses that the revenues from 3D printers and related software, materials and services sold to the dentistry sector in 2016 will reach $1.6 billion but says that such revenues will grow to $3.7 billion by 2021.
The report covers the role of both minor and major vendors in 3DP dental. Firms discussed in this report include: 3D Systems, 3M, 3Shape, Asiga, Autodesk, BEGO, Cadent, Carbon, Carestream, Carima, Cerhum, Cisma, Concept Laser, D4D Technologies, DeltaMed, Densys, Dental Wings, Dentis, Dimensional Photonics, DWS, E-Dent, EnvisionTEC, EOS, ExOne, Formlabs, IOS Technologies, MEDIT, MiiCraft, NewPro 3D, NextDent, Park Dental Research, Prodways, Rapid Shape, Realizer, Renishaw, SLM Solutions, Sirona, Stratasys, Structo, Valplast, VeroGlaze, Vertex Dental, Xjet, Z3DLab and Zimmer.

In-office dental 3D printing may become significant over the next decade thanks to the availability of numerous sub $5,000 systems that are beginning to prove capable in areas such as the printing of surgical guides, clear aligner forming tools, and models.
