As digitalization continues to advance in dentistry, the central challenge for clinics and dental labs is no longer whether to go digital, but rather how to effectively implement a fully digital workflow. In particular, in chairside immediate restoration and high-frequency production settings, high-speed 3D printing has increasingly become a key technology for driving efficiency, cost optimization, and improved patient satisfaction.

According to market data, the global dental 3D printing sector is entering a period of rapid growth. By 2025, the market is projected to reach USD 3.96 billion and further surge to USD 10.06 billion by 2030, representing a CAGR of 20.5%. This rapid expansion is fueled by the growing demand for precision, comfort, and efficiency in dental treatment. 3D printing enables the fast and accurate production of crowns, bridges, dentures, aligners, and surgical guides—offering superior fit and performance compared with traditional methods, while dramatically reducing turnaround time. This allows dental clinics and labs to achieve higher productivity and stronger competitiveness. With its expanding range of applications, additive manufacturing is steadily becoming the driving force of the digital dental workflow, propelling the global market toward greater scale and higher value.


Chairside Digital Transformation: Enabling Same-Day Delivery

In chairside treatments, time is no longer a negotiable variable—it has become a decisive factor in patient choice. By introducing UBEE or NBEE high-speed 3D printers, clinics and labs can significantly accelerate traditional restorative workflows. Treatments that used to take 1–2 weeks to complete, such as temporary crowns or diagnostic models, can now be accomplished within 30–40 minutes, including printing, washing, and curing. This enables true same-day delivery, substantially enhancing both patient satisfaction and clinical efficiency.

Research shows that digital restorative workflows can reduce operation time by 38.4% and shorten the overall treatment cycle by more than 60%, freeing up valuable chairtime and improving case throughput. For patients, the benefits are equally significant—89% prefer digital impressions due to greater comfort, cleanliness, and efficiency compared with conventional methods. Likewise, digital denture workflows can reduce the number of visits from five to just two or three, minimizing treatment interruptions and improving compliance and willingness to return.

Laboratory Applications: Cost Optimization and Scalable Capacity 

With the rapid rise in digital case volume from clinics, dental labs are facing dual pressures of delivery speed and order density. Traditional gypsum model production increasingly shows its limitations, while UBEE’s digital printing solutions offer a scalable alternative.

In real-world use, producing models, splints, and surgical guides via 3D printing can reduce unit production costs by 70–80%. Automation and standardization can also improve labor efficiency by around 30%, allowing labs to handle more cases with the same staff capacity. This not only strengthens peak delivery capability but also lays a solid foundation for future business expansion.



Multi-Scenario Value: Unlocking the Full Potential of UBEE

UBEE is not only about speed—it also delivers stability and versatility across a wide range of dental applications. Supporting continuous, high-volume production and compatible with multiple dental resins, it is ideally suited for diagnostic models, guides, temporaries, and splints—everyday high-frequency needs in both clinics and labs.

Thanks to its consistent accuracy and reliable performance, UBEE helps labs optimize workflow management and reduce manual labor while enabling clinics to achieve faster responses and consistent restorative outcomes. In doing so, UBEE elevates digital dentistry from a technical tool to a strategic enabler of operational efficiency.
