But today, with the rapid development of additive manufacturing and printing, how to quickly and effectively bring injured players back to the field more quickly, and at the same time efficiently treat missing or damaged teeth is a question. This is the technological driving force that UNIZ has been committed to promoting and developing 3D printing technology.
In the field of dentistry, the UNIZ NBEE 3D printing portfolio focus on the intelligent development of technology, materials, and software, which solves the problems of high threshold, low efficiency, and poor precision for dental practice.
