June 5, 2018 by Anna

Italian start-up Yndetech has added its 700th customer in just two years, producing high quality dental implants and other dental devices using four 3D Systems ProX DMP 100 3D metal printers.

Yndetech, which was founded in 2016, acquired its first ProX DMP 100 shortly after it opened its doors in June of that year.

“My partner, Francesco Grande, and I realised that the quality of the pieces we were seeing from the DMP 100 was absolutely outstanding. We shared these results with the dental technicians in the area and the feedback was very positive,” said Emidio Cennerilli, president and CEO, Yndetech.
