“…6,8,10,11 However, factors such as layer thickness, 12 printing orientation, 13 base design, 14 postprocessing protocols, temperature, 15 storage conditions, and the 3D manufacturing trinomial (3D printer, technology, material) 16 can affect the accuracy and surface features of the manufactured objects. 5,10,17 Recently, clinically relevant factors such as the error propagation of digital scans to 3D printed casts, 18 the accuracy and trueness of complete arch intraoral scans, [19][20][21][22] and the effect of different manufacturing parameters on the accuracy of 3D printed casts and removable dies have been evaluated. 9,12 Although research has demonstrated that contemporary 3D printers are highly accurate, 5 when the design comprises multiple components, as for the alveolar casts with removable dies used to fabricate fixed partial dentures, factors such as layer thickness and the geometry of the retentive portion can affect the fit between the removable die and the cast.…”
