CAD/CAM & 3D Printing: Finding Your Own Path Towards a Modernized Practice

For over 30 years, CAD/CAM technology has been a hot topic of discussion for the O&P industry. While several clinics have taken steps forward to adopt these solutions and grow their practices, many facilities are still hesitant to make that first step. With the continuous advancements in CAD/CAM and 3D printing technology, modern digital fabrication methods have made it clearer to see the value in taking those strides towards a more efficient, quality-driven, and patient-centric clinical environment.
