Why Asiga became an integral part of our digital workflow
Words by Kevin Lovett, Lovett Dental Laboratory
We needed more than a 3D printer
When we started looking more seriously at 3D printing, we knew we didn’t simply need another piece of equipment. We needed a better way to work.
At Lovett Dental Laboratory, our priority has always been the same, give our doctors confidence that we can deliver the quality, precision and consistency their patients expect. As digital dentistry continues to evolve, we saw an opportunity to use 3D printing to make our workflow more efficient while opening the door to new applications.
But choosing the right printer was important. We didn’t want to invest in a system that was designed around just one application or one way of working. Dentistry is changing quickly, and we wanted the freedom to adapt with it.
That’s what attracted us to Asiga.
“It’s been really neat to keep advancing and helping people.
Their smiles have changed their lives.”
Becca Bradish, Lovett Dental Laboratory
The accuracy and repeatability were obviously important, but what really stood out was the flexibility. Asiga’s open material approach gives us the ability to explore different materials and applications rather than locking us into a closed ecosystem. For us, that matters.
We want our digital workflow to grow with our laboratory. Whether we’re producing models, splints, night guards or exploring new applications, we want technology that gives our team options.
And ultimately, that’s what 3D printing should do. Make our lives easier and help us deliver better results.
The other important factor is confidence. When a case enters our laboratory digitally, we need to know that what we design on screen can be translated into a physical result accurately and consistently. Our doctors trust us to get the details right, and we need to be able to trust our manufacturing technology in return.
Asiga gives us that confidence.
Asiga has become an important part of our digital workflow because it allows us to combine the experience of our technicians with the advantages of digital manufacturing. But this isn’t really a story about buying a 3D printer. It’s about making sure we’re prepared for what comes next. Dental technology will continue to change. New materials will become available. New applications will emerge. And the expectations of our doctors and their patients will continue to grow.
We want to be ready. For us, choosing Asiga means having the accuracy, consistency and flexibility to keep moving forward without having to completely rethink our workflow every time the industry changes.
We chose Asiga because we wanted more than a printer. We wanted the freedom and confidence to build the future of our laboratory.
