This is a hands-on role combining traditional denture production with digital manufacturing and 3D printing.
You will work on conventional denture processes such as plastering, investing, flasking, and processing, while also helping us expand our use of 3D scanning, CAD/CAM, 3D printing, and digital production workflows.
No dental experience is required. We will train you on plastering and other denture production techniques.
