From Scan to Seat — Chairside CAD and 3D printing
About this date
**Workshop — 2 days.** Hosted in partnership with Andarsyn, CM Medical, and Osseogroup. A unique chairside CAD and 3D printing workshop designed for clinicians, technicians, and support staff looking to expand their digital workflow capabilities. Digital dentistry continues to transform the way dental professionals diagnose, design, manufacture, and deliver treatment. With modern scanners, intuitive CAD software, and increasingly reliable 3D printing systems, there has never been a better time to bring more of your workflow in-house. From intraoral scanning through to design, printing, post-processing, and final delivery, this course is built to provide practical insight into real-world digital workflows that can be implemented immediately into your practice or laboratory. Led by experienced industry professionals, this two-day hands-on program will explore the complete digital workflow — helping attendees better understand how chairside CAD and 3D printing can improve efficiency, communication, turnaround times, and patient experience. Whether you are just beginning your digital journey or looking to refine and streamline your current workflow, this course is designed to provide practical knowledge, hands-on experience, and valuable clinical and technical insight. Spaces are extremely limited for clinicians, technicians, and support staff, so secure your place early. Participants are eligible to receive 14 CPD points.
