Prodways Begins Work on Autonomous Dental 3D Printing

Since it was acquired by Groupe Gorge in 2013, Prodways has been growing and transforming at a rapid pace, developing new 3D printers and materials while acquiring numerous smaller companies and expanding its product portfolio. All the while, some have been wondering when Groupe Gorge’s own technology, including robotics, would come into play.
Though there may have been other aspects of Group Gorge’s tech under the hood of Prodways printers, it is with this latest announcement by the French 3D printer manufacturer that we are beginning to see how robotics will reshape Prodways and, potentially, the 3D printing industry as a whole. At the IDS dental trade fair, the company unveiled a roadmap for the automated production and shipment of clear dental aligners made with 3D printing.
