Summary
Alan welcomes back CAD-Ray's Damien Bonner to demystify the rapidly evolving world of chairside 3D printing and digital restorative workflows. The two kick off the conversation with a lighthearted look at phishing scams targeting clinicians before diving into CAD-Ray's scanner lineup, including the Shining 3D Elf and Elite. Damien breaks down the new Shining 3D Ceramix Nano restorative printer, comparing its compact footprint, built-in curing, and $6,000 price tag to existing systems like the SprintRay Midas. They also tackle the major shifts in software licensing—highlighting Exocad's new accessible monthly subscription model and cloud-based AI design tools—and discuss how printed resins compare to milled ceramics for long-term clinical success, inlays, onlays, and provisionals.
