3D Printing System Segment is Expected to Witness Significant Growth During the Forecast Period

• A 3D printing system is used because of its faster turnaround time and increased accuracy in preparing dental models, oral devices, and restorative products. Dental 3D printing provides better patient fit and simplified in-house production in dental labs. Hence, owing to the advantages offered by 3D dental printing, its adoption is expected to increase among the target population, ultimately driving market growth.
• Furthermore, continuous collaboration by significant players in the market is positively affecting the segment's growth. For instance, in November 2023, B9 Creations launched its new digital 3D printers and materials, dubbed B9 Dent XL 3D printer, which was incorporated with dental-specific CAM software. It helps automate the processes, thus helping dentists speed up quickly and improve efficiency. Similarly, in February 2022, 3D Systems and Saremco Dental AG announced a strategic partnership to accelerate innovation in digital dentistry, enabling dental laboratories and clinics to address a variety of indications with unparalleled accuracy, repeatability, productivity, and lower total cost.
• Thus, significant advantages provided by 3D printing solutions to improve efficiency in dental labs and technological advancements are expected to boost market growth.

North America is Expected to Dominate the Dental Labs Market
