  <description>&lt;p&gt;This week we are joined by Jed Archibald for his first solo interview, and he didn’t disappoint. Coming from a family deeply rooted in dentistry, his father worked closely with Dr. Gordon Christensen. Jed has built his own reputation as an innovator. In 2006 he launched &lt;a href="https://www.archibalddigital.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Archibald Digital,&lt;/a&gt; embracing CAD/CAM at a time when most technicians were skeptical. His philosophy? Don’t just ask what digital can do now—ask what it could do.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jed also shared insights on materials, praising the underrated &lt;a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/digital-processes/ips-empress-cad" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Empress Multi &lt;/a&gt;for its beauty and reliability, and highlighting &lt;a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Ivoclar&lt;/a&gt;’s &lt;a href="https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/digital-processes/ips-e.max-zircad-prime-family" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;ZirCAD Prime&lt;/a&gt; zirconia for solving problems that plague other multilayer products.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not content with what the market offered, Jed even created his own line of &lt;a href="https://www.archibalddigital.com/about-6" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;3D printing resins&lt;/a&gt;—including a stone-like model resin and a lavender-infused cast resin that makes a lab smell like a spa.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now, as the new Director of Development at &lt;a href="https://www.utahvalleydentallab.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Utah Valley Dental Lab&lt;/a&gt;, Jed is taking on a role testing new ideas and pushing innovation without disrupting production.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Check out the amazing resins from Jed:  &lt;a href="https://www.archibalddigital.com/category/all-products" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://www.archibalddigital.com/category/all-products&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
