In the world of dentistry, innovation means simplifying, speeding up, and enhancing the clinical experience — for both the professional and the patient. This is the vision that gave rise to Chaise Longue Side, the service that has transformed the concept of chairside, making it finally accessible, efficient, and within everyone’s reach.

Since 2022 — a tangible turning point for dental practices

Since 2022, we’ve paved a new path: allowing every dentist to 3D print directly in their own practice, without the complexity and costs traditionally associated with these technologies.

How? Through a hybrid, fully digital model that combines:

  • Fast and easy intraoral scanning
  • Centralized, highly specialized design
  • 3D printing directly in the client’s dental office

At the heart of this system is the design support by the IDI MAKERS team, which assists the dentist at every stage, eliminating technical and operational barriers.


A simple, fast, effective workflow

With Chaise Longue Side, the workflow is designed to be intuitive and seamless:

  1. Intraoral scanning
  2. Design by the IDI MAKERS team
  3. Direct sending to the in-office printer
  4. Finalization and application

The result? Teeth ready in about 75 minutes, with a smooth, uninterrupted process.


Numbers that tell the story of a revolution

The impact of this model is tangible:

  • 21,000 projects completed by our team
  • Transformed into real printed components within our clients’ practices
  • About 50 projects managed daily, with a continuously growing workflow


These numbers don’t just reflect volume — they represent a true transformation in how dental practices work.


Pioneers of a new approach

When we introduced this model, digital chairside workflows were neither widespread nor easily accessible. From the very beginning, we believed in a clear vision:
making advanced technology simple, scalable, and genuinely useful in everyday practice.
Today, we can proudly say we’ve been among the pioneers of this change, helping redefine operational standards across the entire field.
Chairside for every dentist
Chaise Longue Side is not just technology — it’s a service designed to democratize access to innovation.


It enables professionals to:

  • Cut time and costs
  • Gain greater control over production
  • Improve the patient experience
  • Easily integrate 3D printing into daily clinical routines


Looking ahead

The journey has only just begun. We continue to invest in research, development, and process optimization to make chairside workflows increasingly high-performance and accessible.
Because the future of dentistry is already here — and it’s digital, fast, and within everyone’s reach.
