This invention describes a system for 3D printing dental prosthetics, such as dentures, using two different plastic materials that do not naturally bond together. It works by creating a special transition zone between them, where the materials are gradually blended from one to the other in multiple layers. The system generates a digital file for the prosthesis, including these blended zones, and then prints it using a 3D printer.
Why it matters: Since 2021, multi-material 3D printing technology and the software for generating complex gradient print files have advanced, making the precise control over polymer mixtures for dental prosthetics more achievable.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
Reinvent this with AIEvery morning we go through millions of abandoned patents and pick out 15 worth your time. This was one of today’s.
