For Vitro3D, the founders benefited from the business acumen of teammate Jennifer Howard (MBA'22).&nbsp;</p> <p>The company, which is grounded in Uzcategui and Hergert's research in materials science, plans to bring 3D printers directly to dental offices to produce retainers, aligners and mouthguard quickly and inexpensively.
