A Review of 3D Printing in Dentistry: Technologies, Affecting Factors, and Applications

Figure 4

Influence of final sintering temperature on shrinkage of three-dimensional- (3D-) printed titanium samples. The shrinkage of length decreases from 900°C to 1000°C and increases from 1000°C to 1300°C, while the shrinkage of diameter increases from 900°C to 1200°C and decreases from 1200°C to 1300°C, and the range of changes is not equal [58].
