Learning Content
As dental laboratories face increasing demands for speed and accuracy alongside staffing challenges, transitioning from manual to automated workflows is crucial. This lecture explores how Carbon’s technology—combined with its Automatic Operation (AO) Suite—transforms high-volume dental laboratory production. Attendees will learn how Carbon’s innovative automation tools (Automatic Print Preparation, AO Backpack, and AO Polishing Cassettes) significantly reduce manual labor, minimize print failures, and increase daily throughput for models, dentures, and appliances, ultimately improving lab profitability and consistency.
Aims
Explain the core technological innovations of Carbon DLS- Evaluate the impact of Carbon’s AO Suite- Analyse the business advantages of switching to an automated, subscription-based 3D printing platform - Understand the role of post-processing automation (AO Polishing Cassette) in achieving consistent, high-quality finished dental parts without manual labour.
