Expert Statements
Jeff Graves, CEO of 3D Systems
“We are proud to support that work with the NextDent 300, which enables the production of high-quality monolithic dentures more efficiently. The ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and smile with confidence can have a profound impact on a person’s quality of life. We hope this donation helps RAM extend that impact to even more patients.”
Connor Gibson, Dental Technology Manager, Remote Area Medical
“A Mirror Moment lasts only a few seconds, but its impact lasts a lifetime. It’s the first time in years someone smiles without covering their mouth, with the confidence to apply for a job, share a meal with family, or simply laugh out loud. Remote Area Medical’s partnership with 3D Systems lets us give patients high-quality dentures, and with them, a moment many thought they’d never have again. Together, we’re proving what’s possible when innovation and compassion share the same goal, one Mirror Moment at a time.”
ROCK HILL, S.C., Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) today announced the donation of a NextDent® 300 MultiJet 3D printer to Remote Area Medical (RAM®), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free, quality dental, vision, and medical care to underserved and uninsured individuals in the United States. The donation supports RAM’s mission to eliminate barriers to essential healthcare by expanding its ability to provide customized, high-quality dentures to patients in need, at no cost.
For individuals without access to affordable dental care, missing teeth can significantly affect their ability to eat, speak, and engage confidently in everyday life. Yet the cost of restorative dental treatment, including dentures, can place these essential services out of reach. Since 1985, RAM has worked to eliminate these barriers, delivering free healthcare services to more than one million patients across the United States. In 2025 alone, the organization served 32,770 patients and provided more than $16.6 million in free healthcare through the efforts of over 17,000 volunteers.
