Job Description

Job Description

About Us:

Cambridge Dental Group is a high-quality, modern, multi-specialty private practice dedicated to providing exceptional patient care using cutting-edge dental technology. We take pride in our welcoming, collaborative workplace culture and our status as one of the Top 1% of dental providers for Invisalign nationwide . Because of our massive clear aligner volume, we are bringing our advanced manufacturing workflows directly into our office with a state-of-the-art, in-house printing lab.

About the Role:

We are seeking a reliable, detail-oriented, full-time 3D Printer Operator / Lab Production Assistant to manage our expanding in-house manufacturing line.

No prior dental or medical experience is required! Because all digital tooth movements and aligner designs are fully outsourced to a specialized digital lab, your role is completely focused on the physical 3D printing, post-processing, and quality control cycle. If you love 3D printing, working with technology, and executing precise mechanical recipes in a clean, professional environment, this is the perfect job for you.

What You Will Do:

• File Management: Download finalized digital print files (.STL format) from our secure laboratory cloud network.
• Printer Staging: Prepare, nest, and queue files using desktop 3D printing slicer software.
• Machine Operation: Run and maintain desktop liquid resin 3D printers (loading resins, managing build plates, performing routine calibrations).
• Post-Processing: Rigidly execute chemical post-processing steps, including isopropyl alcohol (IPA) washing cycles and timed UV light curing recipes.
• Quality Control: Perform detailed physical inspections of finished aligners to ensure crystal-clear transparency, smooth edges, and flawless accuracy.
• Lab Management: Maintain a sterile, safe, and highly organized laboratory workspace while tracking resin and cleaning supply inventory.

What We Are Looking For:

• 3D Printing Experience: Hands-on experience operating consumer or industrial resin (SLA/DLP) or filament (FDM) 3D printers. Hobbyists, makerspace members, and technical school graduates are highly encouraged to apply!
• Meticulous Accuracy: Ability to strictly follow step-by-step chemical and mechanical production guidelines without cutting corners.
• Technical Literacy: Comfort navigating file management software, cloud portals, and printer slicer software.
• Manual Dexterity: Great hand-eye coordination and patience for handling delicate, high-precision dental components.
• Reliability: A dependable professional who takes pride in maintaining an efficient, clean workshop space.

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

• Premium Work Environment: Skip the brutal conditions of heavy warehouse or industrial manufacturing. Work in our clean, climate-controlled, state-of-the-art multi-specialty dental office.
• Excellent Full-Time Schedule: Enjoy a predictable daytime routine with early Friday afternoons off and zero weekend shifts.
• Stable Industry Leader: Work alongside an elite team with a massive, highly successful clear aligner program.
• Comprehensive Benefits: We offer excellent medical benefits , paid time off (PTO) , and paid vacation to ensure our team is well taken care of.
