Charlotte, N.C., March 18, 2025. As the number of skilled dental technicians in the workforce declines, dental labs are under pressure to meet the increasing oral healthcare needs of a growing aging population. This includes the need for efficient, consistent, and high-quality denture production. To address this challenge, Dentsply Sirona and Rapid Shape will collaborate to offer labs of all sizes a reliable solution that enhances productivity, increases profitability, and maintains uncompromising material standards by making the Lucitone Digital Print Denture™ System, including the comprehensive range of materials and validated workflows featuring BAM!™ smart polymer technology, more accessible.

Rapid Shape’s advanced 3D printing solutions—from chairside to high-volume production—feature cutting-edge technology for faster printing and greater efficiency. Integrated into the D50+ with its patented Automatic Separation Module, Rapid Shape enables fully automated production of up to 120 dentures across six print jobs, eliminating manual intervention.
