Dental Guide Material and 3DP
Star3D's desk-side 3D printer and permanent crown material was developed by A*STAR, allowing dentists to print out dental crowns in 15 minutes.
The 3D printed teeth can reproduce the patient's actual tooth colour with no additional colouration, saving time from the traditional weeks-long process.

Functional Bone Regeneration
Osteopore creates bioresorbable implants through the combination of tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and 3D printing techniques.
In a research collaboration with A*STAR and the National Dental Centre Singapore (NDCS), Osteopore will be developing their technology for future jaw implants, promoting faster bone growth without the need for complex bone harvesting processes.
