Expert's Corner
Is Chairside 3D Printed Crown Finally a Reality?
For years, "print a crown while the patient waits" has been more aspiration than clinical routine. Milling has dominated same-day restorative dentistry, and resin-based 3D printing has largely been confined to models, surgical guides, and temporaries. That balance appears to be shifting in light of the latest news in dental 3D printing. Across the first half of 2026, a cluster of regulatory clearances, material launches, and academic results suggests that permanent, chairside-printed restorations are moving from novelty to a real clinical option. Why is this such a big deal? The current permanent crown workflow involves at least two office visits and a minimum of two weeks of waiting time for the crown to be ready for placement. During the weeks between visits, patients often have to wear a clunky, essentially nonfunctional temporary crown. With chairside permanent crown availability, patients can potentially receive same-day treatment, avoiding additional trips to the dentist and the inconveniences of a temporary crown. So it is a huge deal. However, after some investigation, there appear to be real caveats that any dentist or patient should understand before assuming printed crowns can simply replace milled or sintered ones.
Navigating 2025: What’s Ahead for Healthcare Venture Capital and Startups
It is already midsummer, but if you missed the latest numbers focusing on early-stage healthcare investing, here are some highlights that could be relevant to rising entrepreneurs and fundraising startups in the deep tech, medtech, and biopharma space. The first quarter of 2025 marked a pivotal moment for the venture capital and healthcare startup landscape. As uncertainty continued to ripple through global financial markets, investors, founders, and analysts closely monitored funding trends, exit prospects, and innovation hotspots. Drawing on the latest data from leading industry reports—including the HSBC Healthcare Annual Report Q1 2025, PitchBook-NVCA Venture Monitor, Carta’s VC Fund Performance Report, and Wilson Sonsini’s Entrepreneurs Report—we break down the most important takeaways for startups, investors, and ecosystem players.

AI in Healthcare 3D Printing: The Future is Now
The medical field is undergoing a revolutionary transformation, driven by two cutting-edge technologies: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and 3D printing. When these forces collide, they unleash unparalleled potential for innovation, personalization, and improved patient outcomes. From custom prosthetics to intricate organ models for surgical planning, the synergy between AI and 3D printing is reshaping healthcare as we know it. Let's delve into some of the latest advancements, drawing insights from pioneering researchers and practitioners at the forefront of this exciting intersection.
3D Printing in Post Mortem Reconstruction
3D printing and scanning technology has improved since its introduction in 1986, when the first stereolithographic (SLA) systems were introduced [1] and are embraced by both surgical and forensic departments across the world [2]. Despite the applications of 3D printed prosthetics in both medicine and various disciplines of forensic science to date, limited studies can be found on the use of the application in Forensic Medicine, specifically, during post mortem reconstruction. The aim of this article is to explore current reconstruction techniques in forensic medicine to improve aesthetics and bony structure stability in situations requiring repair of skull and facial bone damage due to trauma or the tissue retrieval process in post mortem procedures.
Five Powerful Books Every Entrepreneur Must Read to Win-2025
You must learn to think like a great investor to build a great company. The most successful entrepreneurs aren’t just skilled operators but master capital allocators, strategically investing their money, time, energy, and focus. In the early stages of a company, financial capital is often the least scarce resource; the real differentiators are insight, discipline, and the ability to place asymmetric bets on the future. Understanding the game of investing—whether in markets, people, or ideas—gives you a decisive edge in entrepreneurship. These five books have impacted my perception profoundly in 2024. They sharpen entrepreneurs' ability to think probabilistically, navigate uncertainty, endure discomfort/pain, and maximize their chances of success in a field where most remain blind to the underlying rules. If you are willing to read, you already belong to the most exclusive club in the world.
Challenges (& Opportunities) in Medical 3D Printing
In 2024, we interviewed dozens of founders, scientists, and innovators in medical 3D printing. During these interviews, we asked them what kind of challenges were specific to the industry they were facing and what potential solutions could be. While these are complex problems to solve, they also showed us where future opportunities lie and where the next generation of hardware, software, and talents could be found. We have published a few selected excerpts from these interviews, but you can also follow the link and read their full interview directly.
