How Midas Solves the Chairside 3D Printing Challenge Others Can’t
Since its emergence, dental 3D printing has had a fundamental physics problem: viscosity. The materials dentists actually want to use—highly-filled ceramics, ultra-strong composites, bioactive resins—are too thick to flow through conventional systems. For decades, this has forced an impossible choice. You could have fast chairside printing with weaker materials, or you could have strong materials that required lab processing. The …

The question isn’t just about print quality—it’s about whether you can trust the biocompatible dental resin you’re placing in your patients’ mouths for years to come. Your practice has built its reputation on quality care, and introducing dental materials with questionable biocompatibility …
It’s Easier Than You Think: Why Dental 3D Printing Takes Hours, Not Months to Master
“We’d love to bring 3D printing in-house, but we just don’t have the time to train our team for months.” If you’ve found yourself saying something similar, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common concerns we hear from dental practices considering bringing chairside 3D printing into their practice. But there’s good news: You don’t have to. This is …
