    Summary:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The rapid spread of additive manufacturing processes is opening up new possibilities in epithetics: The goal is to improve fit, aesthetics, reproducibility, and manufacturing times while simultaneously reducing production costs. Methodologically, digital workflows are described that integrate three-dimensional scans of the defect area, computer-aided design (CAD), and selective layer build-up (SLA\/DLP\/FDM\/PolyJet). Material requirements\u2014biocompatibility, color and texture options, and mechanical properties\u2014are discussed; supplementary post-processing steps such as surface finishing and silicone vulcanization are part of the process. Initial case studies show that digitally manufactured form aids and denture bases significantly shorten the fitting time for the patient and enable higher reproducibility compared to purely manual techniques. Current limitations concern material colors, long-term stability, and the cost of high-quality printing materials, as well as regulatory requirements. Finally, future perspectives are outlined: standardized digital workflows, individualized color mixing, hybrid manufacturing approaches, and interdisciplinary training can improve patient care. The introduction of 3D printing in epithetics therefore has the potential to modernize clinical processes and sustainably improve the quality of life of affected patients.

    • Andreas Velten initially completed an apprenticeship as a dental technician and successfully passed his master craftsman examination in 1995. Early in his career, he specialized in combining dental technology, medicine, and innovative manufacturing technologies, subsequently taking on numerous leadership positions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • From\u00a01994 to 2003, Andreas Velten served as\u00a0CEO of VDZ Velten Dental Zentrum GmbH. At the same time, from\u00a01998 to 2003, he was\u00a0co-owner of Easy-Air \/ Lab-Air GbR.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • In\u00a02003, his professional focus increasingly shifted toward plastics technology and industrial manufacturing. Until\u00a02013, he served as\u00a0CEO of VKT Velten Kunststofftechnik GmbH\u00a0and\u00a0KV Kunststoff-Vertriebs GmbH. From\u00a02003 to 2011, he also served as\u00a0CEO of KPV Kunststoffproduktions- und Vertrieb GmbH.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Since\u00a02013, Andreas Velten has been\u00a0CEO of IFA3D Medical Solutions GmbH. Since the same year, he has also served as\u00a0CTO of Institut f\u00fcr Anaplastologie GmbH & Co. KG. In these roles, he combines his many years of experience in dental technology and plastics engineering with advanced technologies, particularly in the field of additive manufacturing and medical applications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Since\u00a02018, Andreas Velten has also been\u00a0co-owner of Havelfun GmbH.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Professional Engagement and Associations<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • In addition to his entrepreneurial activities, Andreas Velten has been actively involved in professional associations and organizations for many years. Since\u00a01996, he has been a member of the\u00a0International Association for Surgical Prosthetics and Epithetics (I.A.S.P.E.).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Since\u00a02015, he has served as a\u00a0jury member of the annual 3D Pioneers Challenge (3DPC), contributing to the evaluation and promotion of innovative developments in 3D printing and additive manufacturing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Since\u00a02016, Andreas Velten has been a member of the\u00a0Extended Board for Medical Affairs of the 3DDruck e.V. association. He has also been a member of\u00a0Medical goes Additive (MGA)\u00a0since 2016.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • With his many years of experience at the intersection of\u00a0medicine, anaplastology, dental technology, plastics engineering, and 3D printing, Andreas Velten is an experienced expert in innovative and patient-oriented applications of additive manufacturing in the medical field.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
