• Providing digital solutions to improve the workflow of dental technicians

  Outline of Dental Business

  By providing digital solutions for dental technicians, DGSHAPE contributes to helping dental laboratories take advantage of the benefits brought by digitalization, including reliable, high-quality production on demand in a short time. In the field of dental prosthetics, advances in digital technology and materials, including zirconia, composite resins and glass ceramics, are leading to more and more dental laboratories and clinics installing digital systems consisting of CAD/CAM software and milling machines to replace conventional casting methods. Believing that its technologies and know-how related to 3D milling could contribute to improving the workflow of dental laboratories, Roland DG entered the market in 2010. In 2017, Roland DG transferred its 3D business to a newly-established, wholly-owned subsidiary, DGSHAPE Corporation, to dedicate more time, energy and staff solely toward the development of innovative dental and other 3D solutions. Today, DGSHAPE continues to expand its customer base by offering solutions to dental laboratories all over the world. Going forward, the company intends to extend the scope of its business to include dental clinics.
