With EU MDR in place, 3D Systems will execute a phased introduction of its dental product families, ensuring uninterrupted availability for labs and healthcare providers. The company plans to launch the NextDent Jetted Denture Solution in summer 2026, leveraging its MultiJet Printing technology and specialized materials to offer one-piece dentures with improved aesthetics and efficiency.
3. Market Opportunity and Strategic Impact
The denture replacement segment represents an addressable market of approximately $600 million in the U.S. by 2029, with the European market estimated to be of comparable or greater size. Management projects that NextDent materials could generate over $400 million in annual recurring revenue globally as adoption of digital manufacturing accelerates, reinforcing 3D Systems’ leadership in digital dentistry.
