We’re hitting the road in 2027. 3D Printing in Digital Dentistry is a new free event from SYS UK and Stratasys, built around the J5 DentaJet and the new TrueDent-D resin for digital dentures, and we’re running it in three cities over the first few months of the year.
One tour, three locations, ten speakers. Each stop is a hands-on day covering implantology, removables, orthodontics and crown and bridge, with the J5 DentaJet running live in the room. If you’ve been wondering what 3D printing could do for your lab or practice, or you’re already printing and want to see where the technology is heading next, this is the day to come along to.
We’ve run plenty of dental events at our Foston showroom. The difference this time is that we’re bringing the technology to you, so there’s no long trip to Derbyshire to make before you get your hands on a printed denture.
What's on the day
The format is the same at every stop. Doors open at 10:00 for registration and drinks, talks run from 10:30, and we wrap up at 14:45 with networking. Lunch is provided, along with teas, coffees and cakes throughout the day.
Our Technical Sales Engineer Chris Andrews opens with an introduction to digital dentistry and where 3D printing fits into a modern lab or practice. From there, Stratasys takes over to walk through their digital dentistry roadmap, so you’ll hear first-hand where the technology is going rather than reading about it six months later. In London that session is led by Chris Kabot, VP and Global Head of Dental at Stratasys.
The session we’re most excited about is on TrueVoxel for TrueDent. TrueDent-D is Stratasys’ denture material for the J5 DentaJet, and it prints full, monolithic, multi-colour dentures on a single tray with no bonding of teeth afterwards. Robert Kreyer CDT, Stratasys’ Global Digital Transformation Manager, presents this in London, and our own Applications Engineer Morgan Tyreman takes it on in Bristol and Manchester.
After lunch, an exocad speaker covers designing for digital dentures, so you’ll see the full workflow from design file to finished print. Then it’s over to the people already doing this day to day. Lino Adolf of Majestic Smile joins us in London and Anthony Wainwright of Optadent in Manchester to talk through their experiences with the J5 DentaJet: what changed when they brought it in, what they’d do differently, and what it’s meant for their business and their patients.
Will Baker from Vector Finance rounds off the talks with a short session on financing options for dental labs and practices, before Chris closes the day.
The J5 DentaJet will be running live throughout, and there’ll be TrueDent samples and demo parts to handle and take home. Bring your questions. There’s a full Q&A, and the team will be around all day to talk through anything specific to your setup.

Who should come, and how to book
This one is for dental labs, practices and anyone else working in digital dentistry, whether you’ve been printing for years or you’re just starting to look at what’s possible. If you run a lab and you’re weighing up digital dentures, this is the easiest way to see TrueDent-D in your hands before you make any decisions.
Places are free but limited, and everyone needs to register in advance.
