Revolutionizing Dental Prosthetics

A New Era for Dental Manufacturing

In a significant development for the additive manufacturing industry, dental veteran Mart Goldberg has unveiled a patented multi-material 3D printing technology that promises to transform how dental prosthetics are made. Partnering with FUGO Precision 3D, this innovation targets the inefficiencies plaguing traditional dental labs, offering a solution that could drastically reduce manual labor and production time.

The Problem: The Bottleneck of Sequential Fabrication

For decades, dental laboratories have grappled with the limitations of sequential fabrication. Producing multi-material parts—like dentures with different gum and tooth polymers—typically requires stopping the print, changing materials, flushing chambers, and manually repositioning parts. These manual interventions not only slow down production but also introduce potential for human error and precision loss.

“I spent decades watching skilled technicians perform the same manual interventions over and over,” Goldberg stated in a press release. “The automation we’ve achieved can reduce manual labor in a printing cycle by approximately 90%.”

The Solution: Automated, Seamless Integration

Goldberg’s patented methodology addresses these challenges by enabling the seamless printing of multiple materials in a single automated cycle. Key features of the technology include:

• Intelligent Functional Region Mapping: Precise control over where different materials are deposited.
• Automated Deposition Sequencing: Eliminates the need for manual material swaps.
• Seamless Transitions: Creates stable chemical bonds between dissimilar polymers for natural-looking results.

This technology has been specifically integrated with FUGO Precision 3D’s centrifugal vat-photopolymerization system. The result is a machine that offers sub-30 micron repeatability and throughput up to 10 times faster than traditional systems.

Industry Impact and Availability

With over 120 million Americans suffering from tooth loss, the demand for efficient, high-quality dental prosthetics is higher than ever. See also: The Current State of Metal 3D Printing in 2020. Alexander Meseonznik, CEO of FUGO Precision 3D, highlighted that Goldberg’s methodology transforms their hardware into a “complete solution for multi-material manufacturing” that offers capabilities non-existent elsewhere in the market.

The technology will be demonstrated live at LMT Lab Day 2026 in Chicago from February 19-21, where attendees can witness the production of multi-color denture components in a single workflow.
