Does the material world still hold value in these times?
Is there a meeting point between the physical and the digital Dadaist transition?
Does the tailor, with his “masterful” work, still have a use in the production environment?
With which techniques do we build the smile for the best moments, and in what ways do we offer it?
The geography of a society lacking waiters, skilled workers, and artisans is both current and concerning…. figures that are now hard to find, dedicated to “manual labor”
Never more than today do we discover that the world is, in fact, very physical.
Our economies and needs depend not only on digital, the web, and social media, but also on the limited availability of raw materials such as steel, aluminum, copper, zinc, wood, plastic, and the lithium required for batteries.
Digital innovations spread at a much faster rate than those that preceded them.
They have become part of daily life, the work environment, and social mindset… digital has no boundaries.
But we know well how much the mind is actually in the hands.
The mind is in the hands!

Perceptions that devalue the artistic image of manual skill relegate it to a representation of the past, due to the difficulty arising from the time required for the learning that craftsmanship demands, or perhaps simply abandoned due to a lack of skilled masters.
In the collective imagination of a utopian and dystopian, robotized and digitized world, we can no longer see or foresee how such powerful innovation is already changing our cognitive systems.

Within our sector, what studies and knowledge are necessary to build and harmonize a prosthetic project?
What relationship should we maintain with Leonardo’s famous Vitruvian Man?
Skills in materials, methods, and techniques are certainly indispensable, as is knowledge of the physical anatomy of the mouth and the complex digital world, which can be shaped to every specific need.
Contrary to the views of various detractors, analog and digital skills today do not divide but merge, amplifying the necessary foundation of analog technique and raising it to the digital power (indispensable for the use of various materials and pre-visualization techniques), in order to make a special smile unique, wearable at any moment of our lives.

The figure of the “technician” can therefore be defined as serving B2B dental facilities. A professional with a significant amount of “craftsmanship training” to transfer to new 3D modeling applications, in order to meet the timelines and complexities required by companies and remain competitive in the market.
