In this interview with Rebel3d, Kim Alards and Rik Jacobs discuss the latest advancements in multi-material, multi-color 3D printing for dental applications, exploring how cutting-edge jetting technology is transforming the production of dentures.

The next leap in dental 3D printing is here. Multi-material and multi-color jetting technology is finally entering the dental market, bringing full CMYW color management, gradients and translucency, tough and soft voxel blending, and true industrial-scale output together in a single platform. In this interview, Rik Jacobs and Kim Alards from Novenda Technologies walk through the science, engineering, and production breakthroughs behind their new printer. From voxel-based software and water-soluble supports to producing 32 dentures in under five hours, this marks a major shift in how labs will manufacture highly aesthetic dentures. During the interview, they explain how multi-material inkjet technology enables seamless blending of functional and aesthetic properties within a single print — redefining what's possible in digital denture production. The discussion also covers digital workflows, scalability for laboratories, and what to expect as the technology makes its public debut at LMT Chicago. Special thanks to Avadent Digital Dental Solutions for sharing their digital denture design to Novenda. If you are a lab owner, technician, or dental professional looking to understand where digital dentures are truly heading, this conversation is essential viewing.
