Chairside 3D Printing & Milling for Everyday Dentistry — Hands-On Tools, Tips & Predictable Outcomes

This fast-paced, practical workshop is for dentists and teams who want a simple, reliable path to in-house manufacture. We’ll cover MSLA/DLP printing and chairside milling for splints, mouthguards, whitening trays, onlays/inlays, and single-unit crowns/bridges (provisional and definitive, material-dependent). You’ll learn when to print vs mill, how to keep costs down, and how to get consistent, patient-ready results without fuss.

Across the day we’ll run through scan → design → make → finish using straightforward clinical workflows. You’ll get hands-on with file prep, printer settings, CAM/nesting, burs and toolpaths, post-processing, crystallisation/sintering where required, and chairside finishing/polishing. Whether you’re just getting started or streamlining what you already do, you’ll leave confident to produce everyday appliances and restorations in-house, on time and on budget.

  • MSLA vs DLP: strengths, limits, and clinical use cases
  • When to print vs mill: a simple decision guide (fit, finish, strength, turnaround, cost)
  • Chairside applications: occlusal splints, sports mouthguards, whitening trays, onlays/inlays, and crowns/bridges (provisional and material-approved definitive options)
  • Printing workflow: file preparation, supports, orientation, printer setup
  • Post-processing: wash, cure, and finishing best practice for biocompatible resins
  • Materials for printing: indication-specific, mechanical properties, and record-keeping
  • Milling workflow: block/disc selection (PMMA, hybrid composite, glass-ceramic, zirconia), CAM basics, nesting, sprues, and bur sets
  • Furnace steps: crystallisation/speed-sintering essentials (time/temperature are system-specific), stain-and-glaze, and chairside polish
  • Cementation & bonding basics: prep design, isolation, and surface treatment by material
  • Hybrid workflows: print the provisional today, mill the definitive when appropriate
  • Troubleshooting: failed prints, warping, chipping, margin fractures, fit issues
  • Maintenance & calibration: daily/weekly checks for printers, mills, furnaces, and handpieces
  • Time & cost: simple chairside calculators to budget minutes and dollars per case (SI metric)

Our speaker

Stuart is a registered dental practitioner and the Technical Director of Osseo Group, where he has led innovation and operations for more than 15 years. Known for his clear, analytical approach, he cuts through noise when troubleshooting and keeps solutions practical.

A fluent C developer, Stuart is a hands-on contributor to product and software development. He works closely with Shining 3D as a development ambassador and supports R&D with MEYER Optoelectronic Corp—regularly joining engineering meetings, visiting the factory and feeding back on real-world usability, workflow optimisation and technical refinement.

His skills span advanced manufacturing and CAD with Autodesk Fusion: additive manufacturing, CNC plasma and fibre-laser cutting, TIG and laser welding. He helped design core functional modules for the iDentalLab and DentalJMS production systems, and supported one of Australia’s earliest adoptions of additive manufacturing for chrome frameworks—lifting precision, consistency and digital integration.

Beyond dentistry, Stuart applies embedded systems and automation (ESP32 and RPi) to streamline workshop processes. That same technical depth shapes Osseo Group’s product strategy, marketing and digital infrastructure, keeping solutions robust and grounded in day-to-day use.

With deep experience across clinical, manufacturing and commercial domains, Stuart focuses on making digital tools that are practical, reliable and cost-sensible—so they work in the surgery and the lab, not just on paper.
