Oqton releases update on adoption of AI-driven Manufacturing Operating System

Oqton, a wholly-owned subsidiary of 3D Systems, released the first comprehensive update on the adoption of its AI-driven Manufacturing Operating System, which has focused heavily on the dental market. Dental laboratories are realizing a more than 50% boost in production efficiencies as the Oqton AI capability optimizes all critical additive manufacturing elements into a single workflow in the production environment. This is particularly meaningful given the range of digital manufacturing equipment and OEM suppliers that can link seamlessly into the Oqton platform, allowing for the stepwise adoption of additive manufacturing into production environments at a rate at which each customer chooses. With several hundred dental labs now using the Oqton platform to manage their operations, customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, as demonstrated by churn rates ranging from negative 20% to 30%, meaning that customers are not only renewing their licenses but are rapidly expanding the number of licenses they are using in each of their operations. A prime example is Bertram Dental Lab, the largest USA-based Removable Partial Denture manufacturer. Since 1976 Bertram Dental Lab has specialized in RPDs from their Wisconsin-based headquarters. Since adopting the Oqton platform, they have experienced a 50%+ boost in efficiency.
