In recent years, China's GDP growth has slowed down from the past high speed growth to the new normal of medium high speed growth. The downward pressure on the economy is great, and many manufacturing enterprises have difficulty in financing and are burdened with heavy burdens. Some people worry that China's economy is "off the ground" and the manufacturing industry is at a historical low.
At the same time, across the country, highlights of new technologies and new models such as intelligent manufacturing and sharing economy have emerged frequently, some new industrial clusters have emerged quietly, and many high-end products have been successfully developed, which has added "high-end quality" to "Made in China".
In 2011, Gou Taiming, president of Foxconn Technology Group, announced to invest 1 million robots to replace 80% of workers in the next 5-10 years.
This year, Midea Group's Air Conditioning Business Department presented the "smart factory" composed of more than 100 robots and mechanical arms to people around the world at the international dealer conference. Through mobile phones and tablet computers, managers can monitor all aspects of production in real time.
More and more examples prove that the era of manual production in manufacturing industry is gone forever, and the tide of digital and intelligent era will certainly wash away the entire Chinese manufacturing industry.
In China, 94% of the population has dental problems. One in ten people has installed false teeth, and the annual average consumption of false teeth is 81.65 million, increasing year by year.
The market is getting larger and larger, and consumers' requirements are getting higher and higher. The production mode of traditional dentures can not be satisfied at all, which leads to the slow pace of development. High repair rate; The complicated and disordered management mode; Increasing production costs; It also pushed the traditional denture processing industry to the crossroads of upgrading and transformation!
The popularization of 3D printing technology has quickly and fundamentally solved many disadvantages of traditional denture production. High quality and sophisticated products, scientific and technological enterprise image, and unified production management have become the only choice for the transformation and upgrading of traditional denture production, making 3D printing technology full of vitality!

Vision for future development
At present, the digital processing equipment in the oral cavity industry is enough to meet the needs of more than 4000 denture processing plants nationwide, but the finished products produced by dentures are mostly customized, and the parameters of patients' oral morphology, denture morphology, color and function are different, which requires more denture technicians to participate in the denture manufacturing process. The scarcity of denture technicians limits the large-scale production of denture processing, and cannot meet the demand for denture customization, So as to reduce the output.
Digitization and intelligence are the future development trend of the denture manufacturing industry: 3D printing, as a special manufacturing technology with significant digitization, is an important link in the oral digital processing chain. Through data, oral diagnosis, design and production processes are linked together, forming a full digital process for dental product processing.
As the first enterprise to apply metal 3D printing to the oral cavity industry in China, Ruitong Additives will always maintain the professionalism of 3D printing technology for dentures and accumulate rich experience in stent and crown design.
Based on equipment manufacturing, the company has gradually developed into a "full stack operator of dental digital solutions", established a Ruitong digital design management platform, and provided the denture factory with full process services of equipment, data processing, design, software, operation training and after-sales service; The denture factory only needs to upload the patient scanning data to the cloud platform, and Ruitong will upload the scanning data after design and typesetting, and then the denture factory can download the design scheme to directly make dentures. So as to solve the dilemma of insufficient designers in the denture factory, reduce the cost of technicians in the denture factory, and increase the output of the denture factory.
Through the Riton digital design management platform, we can realize the service from manufacturing to front-end design and back-end. Through our own technical strength, we can fully empower customers and transform from trading relationship to partnership, so as to form long-term and sustainable cooperation and further promote the development of the dental industry.
