The Ultimate 3-Day Crash Course in Dental 3D Printing and Digital Design

Sydney's premier dental 3D printing course is back again, and even more comprehensive than ever before, with now 3 day's worth of hands-on printing and digital design education.

Learn how to integrate additive 3D printing technologies into your practice safely, efficiently and effectively!
This course is designed for 'zero' experienced dentists, so that attendees with zero prior printing and design knowledge will be able to design and print all fundamental applications possible in general dentistry when they return to their practices.

The Speaker: Dr. Andrew Ip

BDS, MRACDS (GDP), Grad Dip Orthodontics (JCU), MSc Implantology (IMC), PGrad Dip Digital Dentistry (IDDA)

Dr Andrew Ip is a Sydney-based private general dentist who has presented on 3D printing in a dental practice on multiple occasions. He achieved Membership in General Dental Practice with the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons in 2017 and obtained a Graduate Diploma of Orthodontics at James Cook University in 2019 and a Masters of Science in Implantology and Dental Surgery in 2022.
