In the Spotlight: Asiga and the Rhode Island Mission of Mercy
Asiga 3D Printing: Transforming Dental Care with the Rhode Island Mission of Mercy
At Delray Systems, we are committed to partnering with the best companies in 3D printing. We are a proud reseller of Asiga, who has recently showcased the true positive power of 3D printing technology through a remarkable project with the Rhode Island Mission of Mercy (RIMOM).
This collaboration not only demonstrated the potential of 3D printing technology in the dental industry but also highlighted how it can be used to make a real, tangible difference in the lives of people in need.
This year, Asiga was asked to provide 3D printers to the event, however just providing the technology wasn’t enough. Both Cory Lambertson and Bryce Hiller of Asiga, who both previously worked as dental technicians, stepped in to support the mission. This project was not just about providing technology—it was about changing lives, restoring smiles, and giving people the confidence they need to improve their quality of life.
Asiga’s role at the mission allowed the efficient production of high-quality dentures for over 50 patients. Asiga provided two of the advanced Ultra 3D printers and two Max 2 3D printers, which were used to produce partial dentures quickly and precisely, ensuring that patients would leave the clinic with a smile.
The process began with patients being scanned using the Trios scanner from 3Shape, creating a digital model of their teeth. These scans were sent to ClinicCare Dental’s remote design team, where digital dentures were designed. Once the designs were complete, they were sent to Asiga, where the 3D printing process began. The result - - custom dentures produced in record time and tailored to the specific needs of each patient.
A Real-World Impact: Changing Lives
One of the most powerful moments during this event came when Jermaine, a patient who had lost his teeth in a tragic car accident, received his new partial denture. Jermaine had been self-conscious about his appearance for years, even feeling embarrassed to smile in front of his children and having difficulties gaining employment.
After receiving his new partial denture, Jermaine’s emotional reaction said it all. For him, this wasn’t just about getting a set of teeth back—it was about regaining his sense of self, his confidence, and his ability to smile freely once again.
This powerful moment encapsulated why Asiga and its partners do what they do: to improve lives, one smile at a time.
Looking Forward: The Future of Dental Care
Asiga’s work at the Rhode Island Mission of Mercy is a testament to the power of technology when used with compassion and purpose. At Delray Systems, we look forward to seeing how this technology will continue to shape the future of dental care and enhance the lives of individuals in communities everywhere.
