Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS) shares barely budged Thursday, as the company, a leader in polymer 3D printing solutions, announced today that it had partnered with Express Dental Labs of Norman, Oklahoma at the
recent Oklahoma Dental Association Mission of Mercy (OkMOM) event to provide full and partial dentures to more than 55 people in need.
The OkMOM is a two-day event that provides free essential dental care to individuals who may otherwise lack access to such services. The event took place in Lawton Oklahoma and brought together dental professionals, volunteers, and organizations to address the oral health needs of underserved populations.
Each patient that received dentures had an inter-oral scan completed the first day, which Express Dental Labs used to create the dentures with the Stratasys’ J5 DentaJet® 3D Printer and TrueDent resin. The dentures were printed overnight and delivered by participating dentists the following day, giving patients a new smile with well fitting, natural looking dentures, within 24 hours.
“It is awesome that we can do this for the community,” said Tra’ Chambers, Owner, Express Dental Labs. “Traditionally, dentures are labor intensive to manufacture, but when using Stratasys technology, we can serve many more patients in a shorter amount of time.”
SSYS shares dipped two cents to $13.63.
