Case Study: Absolute Dental Services achieves faster turnaround and 30% lower material costs for premium dentures with Carbon’s digital manufacturing platform

Absolute Dental Services Creates Premium Dentures Using Carbon’s Digital Manufacturing Platform

Absolute Dental Services, a dental lab focused on premium dentures, faced high costs, slow throughput and skepticism about 3D-printed materials that didn’t match milled or hand-processed aesthetics and durability. After seeing Carbon’s M2 printer and Digital Light Synthesis technology with Dentsply Sirona Lucitone Digital Print resin, Absolute decided to adopt Carbon’s digital manufacturing platform to achieve the accuracy, natural look, and material strength it required.

Using Carbon’s M2 printer, Lucitone Digital Print resin and Carbon’s plug‑and‑play workflow and software, Absolute sped production from a 10‑day cycle to as little as two days (and occasionally 24 hours), cut material costs by over 30% versus milled products, and achieved roughly 40% total cost savings versus traditional hand processing. Carbon’s solution also improved labor efficiency, delivered dentures that exceed ISO impact and flexural strength standards, streamlined digital scanning and QC traceability, and materially improved patient and clinician experience.
