Oral Arts Uses HeyGears 3D Printers to Increase Digital Dental Production
07/09/22 Huntsville, USA
Oral Arts is a full-service dental laboratory with 50+ years of dental experience. From their production base in Huntsville, Alabama, they service dentists across all 50 U.S. states. Oral Arts uses the UltraCraft A2D 4K with HiVE for the production of dental appliances such as models, night guards, dental casts, and surgical guides.
"I chose HeyGears to be our digital workflow provider through a process of trying HeyGears and seeing the performance of the company and their equipment, then transitioning our dependency from other providers to HeyGears."
Matt Winstead, Vice President of Oral Arts.
Currently, 35% to 40% of all cases brought to Oral Arts use 3D data from intraoral scanners. Dental experts predict this will double within the next 5 years. 3D printing of dental applications is key to the future of dental production. To keep up with demand, they use a total of 10 UltraCraft A2D 4K's, each paired with a HiVE (High Volume Enabler) module to enable automated mass production.
Oral Arts dental technicians use HeyGears Cloud to nest their models in a more productive manner to increase production output. When dealing with such a large amount of dental cases, HeyGears Cloud optimizes the nesting process to maximize their production output while saving time.
