Jan. 7, 2026 – Global 3D printing leader 3D Systems has announced the official launch of market access procedures for its FDA-cleared NextDent® jet denture solution in the Asia-Pacific region, marking a major leap in digital dental restoration efficiency.
The innovative solution leverages multi-material integrated 3D printing technology, eliminating the need for post-curing and enabling one-step molding of full-structure dentures. This breakthrough compresses the traditional 5-day production cycle to just 24 hours while slashing labor costs by over 50% . Crafted with biocompatible resins, the dentures feature high fracture resistance and natural gingival color matching, with four shade options to blend seamlessly with patients' oral tissues .
Unlike conventional alternatives relying on complex manual processes, the NextDent system delivers consistent precision and reduces reliance on skilled technicians, addressing the global dental technician shortage . Rik Jacobs, Vice President of 3D Systems' Dental Division, emphasized the solution's alignment with Asia-Pacific's booming digital dentistry demand: "This launch responds to the region's need for efficient, high-quality restorations as digital adoption accelerates."
First shipments are scheduled for Q1 2026, targeting Australia, Japan, and other key markets where dental clinics and labs increasingly prioritize fast turnaround . The entry of NextDent's jet technology is poised to reshape the regional landscape, as Asia-Pacific's denture market is projected to grow at 9.2% annually, driven by aging populations and rising healthcare investment .
