Automation vector
Dental prosthetic technicians manufacture custom dental pieces using precision manual techniques and CAD/CAM design software. AI and 3D printing already automate most of the design and fabrication of crowns and bridges with high fidelity. The technician's value lies in the final manual aesthetic finishing, colour customisation, and fine adjustment that requires experienced human artistic and technical judgement.
