Think Forward

Faced with an ever-expanding digital landscape, dental laboratory owners and managers often grapple with keeping abreast of the flood of new technologies launched on the market and then making the critical informed purchasing decisions needed to best serve their businesses and clientele. To aid in that decision-making process, IDT sought out experts steeped in CAD/CAM related arenas of additive, subtractive, scanning, and software technologies. Our experts not only study, assess, and use these technologies on a daily basis, but also are among the industry's most respected forward thinkers. For our July Tech Issue, we asked each to share his perspective on where the assigned respective technology category is headed, what next-generation innovations and improvements have been made, and what may be the next step for this technology in the future.

The aggregate of these experts in four different technology sectors will help provide the comprehensive insights and knowledge base needed to keep current on cutting-edge technologies available in the dental laboratory technology industry as well as a peek into future developments. We are proud and honored to offer you these powerful perspectives and hope these will help lead you to the best technological acquisitions for your laboratory.
