S3 E01 - How CEO Michael Jafar of Desktop Health is disrupting the 3D printing industry and growing Additive Manufacturing in dentistry
01/04/22 • 27 min
In the beginning of 2021 a company, Desktop Metal acquired EnvisionTec, a company credited with the development of Digital Light Projection (DLP) 3D printing and almost 20 years of research, development, and experience bringing both 3D printers and resins to market in the Additive Manufacturing industry. Through this acquisition Desktop Health was born.
I was excited to be able to catch up with Michael Jafar, President and CEO of the newly formed Desktop Health to discuss the direction of this new company and the waves they are making in the dental industry. Michael and Desktop Health are focused on changing how 3D printing works in dentistry. Taking 3D printing from a behind the scenes technology printing support materials such as models and trays to manufacturing end use products starting with removable dentures made possible by Flexcera. Desktop Health is also making news when it acquired its first fully functioning dental lab. A decision Desktop Health is confident will help increase the speed of innovation, adaptation and level of satisfaction for dentist, lab and patient.
These were just a few of the topics we touched on in today's conversation.
I thank Mike for his time and look forward to speaking with him again.
