yeah. i work in a lab and we've got form3 printers set up with resin we use for medical implants.
the idea is to print the teeth in resin, then vacuum-form them with polyproplene. then clean up the edges with a dremel or whatever.

>scaling by axis
the tooth shape has to stay the same, otherwise it wouldn't fit in my mouth.
like, in fusion or solidworks, i could split a part along a plane, and then move it a couple mm in any direction, or rotate it about an axis, etc. i don't really know what sort of mesh tools are available that can do that. or maybe blender is up to it and i just need to learn more about how to do it.
