Dear members,
The 3D Print Resource library has been launched! You can find student guides for the prepCheck software by DentsplySirona. A software that analyses the students' preparation for feedback purposes, or you can use it as an assessment tool.

There are also 2 STL files for the Block exercise that were created by Ed Williams (Cardiff University) to support undergraduate students in developing foundational preclinical skills essential for crown preparations.

Firstly, thanks to the American team for their insight into smart use of digital equipment into their teaching practice ath the conference, lots of intersting debate afterwards.

Can I ask if you can post the SOP's developded for the use of the phozen printers, we are looking into purchasing them and your protocols would be most beneficial.
Thanks again for your enthusiasm, dedication to your teaching and great presentations.

Dear Colleagues,

We are looking into buying a 3D printer to start printing teeth for our students to use on the phantom heads to be able to make them to what we really need. However we are unsure what type of printer would be the best one to use. Ideally we would like to be able to print in different colours (enamel, dentine, caries, pulp). 
Would you be able to advise on which printers work best for this?

Thank you for you help!

Hi Members,
This Research category is for you to use to discus, via posts and replies, for any educational teaching subject relating to the use of 3D teaching material relating to research that either has been completed and is of use to the community or if you have a broad strokes idea for a collaborative research topic that you want to open to the community to engage with. NOrmal protocols IP etc. apply 

Until we populate the site we won't know what works or doesn't and we can't grow, so please start posting so we can work towards a useful resource for all our members and their institutions.

I look forward to seeing what threads are started here.

Hi Members,
This Teaching category is for you to use to discus, via posts and replies, for any educational teaching subject relating to the use of 3D teaching material.
Whether it is a post of what you are using and finding really sucsessful e.g. some software that allows students to learn denture design, CAD/CAM etc. or some  challenge you have for an idea to teach e.g you want to make a model to show retention principles but can't find a commercial version of what you want and you ask the community of someone has such a model, or is interested in designing in collaboration etc.

Until we populate the site we won't know what works or doesn't and we can't grow, so please start posting so we can work towards a useful resource for all our members and their institutions.

I look forward to seeing what threads are started here.
