The global 3D dental printing market is projected to be valued at USD 2.0 billion in 2021, with an annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.9 percent over the forecast period. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for dental 3D printers fell in 2020. Due to a mixture of cutting-edge 3D printing technology and a promising …
A collaboration with the Clinical Microbiology Research Center of the Shiraz University of Medical Science has been established to investigate the antimicrobial properties of the prepared specimen. The experts are testing different parameters to determine the protective effect of the additives introduced into the medical-grade polymer against microbes and bacteria. Results will be shared as …
The following video shows the step-by-step procedure for creating a 3D model to be printed. First, using the grip containing a laser line and a typical smartphone, the subject’s face is swept by projecting the laser, while the smartphone is filming the process. Next, the recorded video is imported to the software and analyzed to …
Recently, Miracare’s polymeric material experts produced a new prosthesis, completely imitating human body parts in color, texture, elasticity, and so on. By changing the content of color additives, the prosthesis’ color could be changed to mock the user’s color skin. Additionally, some antimicrobial agents were added to the base medical grade polymer for protecting the …
We are pleased to announce that the Miracare research team is collaborating with the biomedical engineers of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. The collaboration subject is about creating a new material consisting of human skin components combined with medical-grade polymer and antimicrobial additives. The outcome could be used as a precursor for bio 3D printers …

In the previous post, you learned a little about the history of facial prostheses. And now we want to look at some of its applications. Acquired facial defects, especially after radical surgical operations, often result in patients’ substantial functional, cosmetic, and psychological handicaps. A complex rehabilitation is necessary to be carried out by maxillofacial surgeons …
The use of facial prostheses such as wax ears has been reported in Ancient Egypt. The first historically documented evidence comes from the sixteenth century when the French surgeon Ambroise Paré describes the first nose prostheses from gold, silver, and “papier mâché,” which were held to the face by a string tied around the head. …
