3D Systems, a provider of additive manufacturing solutions, introduced NextDent Base to its dental 3D printing materials portfolio after receiving approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This base material is released as a part of the company's digital dentistry solution collection to accelerate the dental labs and clinic's efficiency.

The NextDent Base is part of 3D Systems' NextDent solution that comprises the next-gen 3D printing technology. The key features are that it is designed to be biocompatible, bears CE certification according to Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC, and is registered with the FDA and in multiple other nations. Moreover, it is available in four distinct colors to suit varied esthetic requirements.

Analyst QuickTake: This new product is said to majorly benefit the dental industry by potentially cutting down the production time of prosthodontics, minimizing the number of necessary patient visits, and reducing waste and capital expenses. It also aims to decrease reliance on milling centers and consequently speed up the dental device production process extraordinarily. Desktop Metal and Axial3D are some other companies with FDA approvals that cater to the dentistry market.
