A report indicates that there are currently over 4,000 dental laboratories across the country. This figure encompasses various types of Dental Labs, with the vast majority engaged in the production of dentures for the domestic Chinese market. Only a minority are involved in manufacturing dentures on behalf of foreign clients. Among those producing dentures for the domestic market, which are distributed across different provinces, some of the best dental labs in China have even gone public, though their number is extremely limited. In 2022, the market size of the denture industry in China exceeded RMB 10 billion. From small-scale workshops to leading enterprises, artificial intelligence is accelerating the transformation of the denture processing sector, and the industry is undergoing a major reshuffle. This issue takes the example of Shining 3D, a renowned Chinese leader in digital technology globally, to explore how Shining 3D is leading the transformation of traditional denture factories and reshaping the industry landscape.
In the denture industry, “digitization” is not just a frequently used buzzword; it is also synonymous with the transition from traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing and serves as the driving force behind the industry’s development. Does purchasing digital equipment equate to completing the digital transformation? The answer is obviously no; it is merely the beginning.
Currently, more than half of the transformation process has been completed, and dental laboratories are quietly undergoing a new round of reshuffling. As a professional outsourcing Dental Lab, HINNO Dental Lab will also keep abreast of updates in new technologies and equipment.
Lastly, how to integrate technology and business to achieve an internal-to-external transformation, better serve the production and manufacturing process, and maximize overall production capacity is the core key for denture factories to compete in the future.
