G’day. I’m
Andrew.

A space for me to share my passion on all things dental and 3D printing.

I’m a practicing dentist in Sydney. Six years quietly teaching clinicians and dental assistants how to actually use the digital tools. In the chair. On the bench. Back-of-house. Forty machines named, layer heights remembered, failure modes catalogued.

Ai3D is what I wished existed when I started. Brand-agnostic. Plain-spoken. If a printer is bad, I’ll say it is. If a cheaper resin prints better than the $300 bottle, I’ll say that too. The drier and more technical, the better.

Started as a hobbyist. Still am. Most of this began on weekends, in my garage, on a $400 SLA printer, slowly working out which resin actually held its tolerance. (The answer was not the expensive one.)

Outside the practice: my wife, two cats named Max & Minnie, and a complicated relationship with the colour red. Dark red. Never bright red.

PS.Ai = Andrew Ip. (Also a quiet nod to the other Ai. I’ll let you decide which one is more useful.)
