Handy Andy is a Sydney-based private general dentist who presents regularly on dental 3D printing. What started off as a hobby several years ago has now become a full-time passion for Dr Andrew Ip, a Sydney-based general dentist with a special interest in digital dentistry.
His passion has taken him all around the world from the US, Europe, Asia and of course across Australia. He also runs an increasingly popular Youtube channel that showcases easy-to-follow dental design tutorials.
From simple models to printing zirconia, Dr Ip has printed almost all printable dental applications available in the global market and is proud to have operated close to 30 different 3D printers in his career, a number that will inevitably increase.
Dr Ip has been teaching dentists, technicians and their support staff how to integrate additive technologies to their workplaces for several years and is a speaker for several digital dentistry-related companies. His knowledge is based on true hands-on experience. When he’s not designing a surgical guide, printing a splint or polishing a printed crown, you can find him glued to a screen designing printable table organisers or nesting a helmet for his cats in a slicer.”
