The company's technology utilizes multi-material jetting and smart print modes that achieve precise layer control without mechanical rollers, ensuring high accuracy, reducing contamination, and addressing the growing scarcity of dental technicians.

Novenda, a Dutch dental startup founded in 2019, has developed an innovative multi-material 3D printing platform that produces high-precision, natural-looking dental products with minimal waste and manual assembly.

Novenda plans to roll out its platform across Europe and the US, targeting mid-size and large dental labs, while also expanding into other dental applications and markets to meet increasing demand.

The company recently raised €5.2 million ($6.1 million) in funding led by Brightlands Venture Partners, with participation from KBC Focus Fund, Borski Fund, Limburg Business Development Fund, angel investors, and a credit facility from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency, reflecting strong investor confidence.

Founded by Klaas Wiertzema, Petra Doelman, and Joost Anne Veerman, Novenda has developed a full-stack 3D printing platform that enhances efficiency and quality in dental manufacturing, with its first multi-material printer launched in 2021 and successful proof of concept achieved by 2023.

The company emphasizes a strong team culture and aims to provide reliable, user-friendly printers that deliver consistent quality and biocompatibility, supported by its proprietary materials and recurring revenue model.

Novenda's platform employs proprietary materials, water-soluble supports, and extensive color options, enabling the production of up to 15 nightguards or 8 dentures per hour, suitable for mid- to large-sized dental labs.

This technology aligns with the industry’s shift toward digital workflows, as traditional manufacturing methods struggle to keep pace with digital impressions and centralized production trends.

The company's scalable solutions meet the rising demand for efficient dental manufacturing, especially in regions with limited dental technician availability, and aim to expand into new markets requiring individualized mass production.

Industry experts praise Novenda's high-quality surface finish and aesthetic results, predicting that multi-material jetting will shape the future of dental manufacturing.

Its system supports up to 15 nightguards or 8 dentures per hour, with extensive color possibilities and mechanical strength to prevent breakage, making it ideal for mid- to large-sized dental labs.

The company's revenue model is based on the sale of its proprietary LD100 printer, which is a one-time investment, ensuring ongoing revenue through material sales and service.
