In collaboration with AMcubator, a hub for developing scalable 3D printed applications, and through partnerships with industry leaders like Stratasys and Rösler, we architected an end-to-end production process that emphasizes quality assurance. This novel approach enabled the creation of mouthguards that not only meet the demands of high-volume production but are also safe for intraoral use. Notably, the innovative design ensures a shock absorption capacity surpassing the existing gold standard set by dental labs.

In a world where efficiency and sustainability are key, digital technology has transformed numerous industries. The field of mouth protection is no exception. Traditional methods, rooted in decades-old practices, have been upended by the innovative Clik.fit Digital Supply Chain, which promises to elevate the entire production process. But how does this modern approach compare to conventional methods, and what makes it so special?

In the traditional supply chain, creating a custom-fitted mouthguard is a laborious journey. It begins with a physical impression of the customer's bite, which is then transformed into a plaster positive—a fragile mold that acts as the foundation for the final product. This mold is heated, filled, ground, and polished, all through a series of steps that involve transferring the plaster positive between labs, dentists, and eventually to the customer. Not only is this process time-consuming, but each physical transfer adds logistical costs and environmental burdens. Even worse, slight inaccuracies in the molding can lead to uncomfortable fits, requiring additional adjustments.
