When a digital impression is created, practitioners tend to get excited about finding the best approach to use it. The 3D printer obviously comes at the end of the virtual sequence of materialization of an object from a digital file.
It’s a disruptive innovation [Campbell T. et al. Could 3D Printing Change the World? Atlantic Council Reports 2011.] that can also improve the therapeutic procedure.
Key words: Digital impression / 3D printing / digital workflow
