Rapid prototyping, or RP, is one of the applications of rapid manufacturing and a type of computer-aided technology that is capable of making physical objects directly from three-dimensional (3D) computer data by adding a layer-upon-layer. In dentistry, rapid prototyping is largely affected by reverse engineering (RE). RE is used to scan or capture the image of the tooth, cranium, limb, and other biological objects. Dental rapid prototyping systems help in the development of customized dental models such as implants, crowns, bridges, and dentures, thereby offering better patient outcomes.
Market Dynamics
The unhealthy eating habits and rising prevalence of oral diseases such as tooth decay or tooth loss are expected to propel the global dental rapid prototyping systems market growth in the near future. For instance, according to a study shared in March 2023, by the World Health Orgainzation (WHO), the United Nations agency that connects nations, partners, and people to promote health, around 3.5 billion people were affected by oral diseases in 2021.
