3D Printed Teeth

Acrylic Denture Casting

Project Info

I modeled these for Biomimic Studio who required multiple sets of infant, child & adult teeth to fit an animatonic. These were designed in Zbrush, 3D printed and molded in such a way so that the ivory teeth are encapsulated by the pink gums. This method is to try and avoid the process of dremeling out sets of teeth to achieve the same result.

Acrylic Denture Casting

Designing Castable Teeth

This is a method for casting acrylic teeth - I designed one set with the gums and another set with each tooth arching back towards the curve plate, tapering away from the gums.

Concept Renders

Design concepts for Adult, Child & Infant Teeth. I modeled these initially in Zbrush and layered the renders with colour in Photoshop.

3D Printing

All of the teeth were 3D printed using the Elegoo Saturn in grey resin. Various different scales were produced to until we settled on the correct size.

SLA 3D Printing

After being 3D printed, both sets of teeth are then moulded. The arched teeth are cast in ivory acrylic (or 3d printed in ivory resin) and then placed into the mould with the gums and have the pink acrylic cast around them.

Final Outcome

This method had a few trials and errors but it did produce pleasing results in the end that were used for an on-screen animatronic and required a lot less time to create compared to the dremel technique.
