Dr. Rick Ferguson is a well known name in the realm of 3D printing in dentistry. In the early 2010s, Dr. Ferguson discovered he had a real knack for digital dentistry. He jumped into the proverbial deep end of the pool. This embracing of 3D printing and his knack for tinkering led him to not only become an industry leader, but also an inventor. He wanted to give other doctors a chance to explore 3D printing and get their feet wet without doing the same dive in the deep end that he did.
That lead to his work on developing some products to help doctors get better results with inexpensive printers as they learned so that when they took the next step and invested in higher end, dental specific printers they'd have some experience and be better because of it.
Now comes the announcement that Medidenta will take over the manufacturing and distribution of his products. Here are all the details...
Medidenta, a trusted name in dental innovation for over 30 years, is proud to announce the acquisition of the Ferguson Mini 8KS accessories business from renowned educator and digital dentistry pioneer, Dr. Rick Ferguson.
This strategic acquisition strengthens Medidenta’s position in the growing 3D printing market and expands access to high-quality, budget-friendly digital dentistry solutions for clinicians worldwide.
“Having both followed and worked with Dr. Ferguson, we were thrilled at the opportunity to further partner with his innovations in the 3D printing arena,” said Sean Ryan of Medidenta. “His products and passion align perfectly with our push into education and digital dentistry at Medidenta.”
Advancing Digital Dentistry Together
Since founding the Dental 3D Printing Group in 2018, Dr. Ferguson has partnered with top-tier printer and resin manufacturers to make cutting-edge 3D printing accessible to the broader dental community. His custom-designed accessories for the Phrozen Mini 8KS have empowered thousands of practices to adopt advanced printing workflows without high upfront costs.
With demand for these accessories exceeding production capacity, Medidenta will now take over manufacturing and fulfillment, while continuing to provide support in collaboration with Dr. Ferguson—ensuring improved availability and a more streamlined experience for dental professionals.

I will continue to provide technical support to all accessory users to ensure a smooth transition.”
