Rapid Shape, a global leader in high-precision dental 3D printing, and Atlanta Dental, one of the Southeast’s most trusted independent dental distributors, today announced a strategic partnership to bring Rapid Shape’s full portfolio of 3D printing solutions to dental professionals across the region.

By combining Rapid Shape’s proven German engineering with Atlanta Dental’s 100% employee-owned team of Territory Managers, Equipment Specialists, and factory-trained technicians, the two companies are working to make advanced chairside 3D printing more accessible and practical for everyday dental practice.

The Rapid Shape 3D Printing Portfolio

ONE

The ONE is a compact DLP printer purpose-built for chairside use, accommodating up to three full-arch dental models per print. With RFID material identification and intelligent connectivity to WASH and CURE units, it keeps the full workflow simple and easy to delegate.

PRO 20

The PRO 20 delivers high-speed, high-volume performance validated across 200+ dental resins and 15+ workflows. Powered by Force Feedback and RS Turbo technology, it prints aligner models in 7 minutes and Crown and Bridge models in 15 minutes, placing it among the fastest DLP printers in its class.

PRO 30

Built for dental labs or clinics with high production demand, the PRO 30 accommodates up to six full-arch models per print job and delivers aligner models in 10 to 15 minutes and Crown and Bridge in 25 minutes, thanks to its 4K light engine.

WASH and CURE

All three printers connect seamlessly to Rapid Shape’s WASH and CURE post-processing units, forming an RFID-verified workflow from print to finished restoration. The WASH runs automated, pre-validated cleaning cycles for 200+ resins. The CURE delivers true 360-degree light distribution in a vacuum chamber, ensuring peak mechanical properties across all validated dental materials.

All systems (including WASH and CURE when purchased with a 3D Printer) include a 1-Year CARE Plus Plan with 90-Day Remote Coach access for onboarding, workflow training, and ongoing support.

A Complete Digital Workflow: From Design to Print

At the core of this partnership is a seamless, end-to-end digital workflow that takes practitioners from design to finished restoration in a single appointment. That’s why both companies are proud to recommend the Circle One workflow to their customers:

Rapid Shape Print Studio connects directly with leading platforms like Circle, taking users from design to print-ready in a matter of minutes. A guided startup wizard, automatic support generation, and customizable workflow presets minimize repetitive steps and reduce the chance of error.

When paired with Circle One, a 100% cloud-based AI-powered chairside design solution, the workflow becomes fully integrated. Circle One generates a validated design proposal in under one minute, with no installation or additional hardware required. Once approved, a single click in RS Print Studio launches the connected printer and begins production immediately. Any team member can start a print and, just 15 minutes later, have a prosthetic ready for chairside delivery.

“This partnership reflects Rapid Shape’s commitment to accessible, high-performance chairside workflows” said Andreas Schultheiss, CEO at Rapid Shape. “Atlanta Dental’s focus and regional strength makes them the right partner to bring this technology to practices across the Southeast, the Mid-Atlantic and beyond.”

“Atlanta Dental is excited to partner with Rapid Shape, and the innovation and quality they bring to the profession. They offer printers for any size practice or lab, with the speed, quality and accuracy that today’s workflow requires. The open environment allows the use of multiple resins to meet the needs of every practice and patient” said Tom Richardson with Atlanta Dental.
