On this episode of the Additive Insight podcast, TCT Group Content Manager Sam Davies is joined by Srini Kaza, the Executive Vice President of Research & Development at Align Technology.

Align Technology are not only considered to be the leader in the dental aligner market, but are also highly regarded as a 3D printing super user.

The company has been utilizing 3D printing to produce aligner moulds for around a quarter of a century, scaling into millions of parts a week.

Today, Kaza joins the Additive Insight podcast to take us through that journey, detailing the evolutions of the company’s manufacturing workflow, the challenge of requiring 100% yield, and the target of additively manufacturing end use aligners.

He also offers advice to other manufacturers looking to adopt 3D printing and explains what R&D challenges Align is trying to address next.
