Nextdent - 3D printing prosthetic dental products

Vertex-Dental is a manufacturer of high quality prosthetic dental products. They provide acrylic materials to vacuum cast teeth, such as the Vertex™ teeth Quint. The Vertex™ teeth grinder can be used to increase the contact surface of the Quint and to place the Quint on a denture base using a bond such as the Vertex™ Acrybond.

AM had therefore the potential to disrupt the business model of vertex-dental and posed a threat.

How can somebody have something 3D printed without owning a 3D printer and alternatively, how can a 3D printer owner make use of their 3D printer's down time?
