As the adoption of 3D printing steadily rises and the dental industry continues its shift toward digital production, labs are evaluating and utilizing 3D printers more than ever before. With increasing competition and pressures from COVID-19, it is crucial for dental labs to employ digital production solutions that maximize productivity while minimizing cost and human error.
To help labs evaluate their options, NADL conducted a 3D printing survey (August 2020) that measures 3D printer use/adoption rates, common 3D-printed parts, and most important 3D-printed part features, as well as a competitive analysis on 3D printer brands including the most preferred brand, most reliable brand, and average daily print hours for each printer brand.
Based on the survey’s results, Carbon has been named #1 in customer satisfaction for the second year in a row (as measured by Net Promoter Score) and ranks #1 in the following:
- Net Promoter Score (NPS), two years in a row
- Most preferred 3D-printer brand
- Most reliable 3D-printer brand
- Highest average daily print hours per printer
