# 3D-Printed Metal Toothbrushes Zare's Printed Toothbrush Offers an Alternative to Plastic Brushes By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-09-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-toothbrush References: [3dprint](https://3dprint.com/188723/zare-3d-printed-metal-toothbrush/) & [zare-prototyping.eu](http://zare-prototyping.eu/en) There are plenty of [toothbrush designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brevi-toothbrush) that have been retooled to offer more stylish and ergonomically friendly designs, but this [3D-printed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futura-avant-lab) toothbrush from Zare sets itself apart on both fronts. The handle of the brush is printed from either stainless steel or titanium and offers a completely different experience than conventional plastic toothbrushes. In fact, the design may be customized in a finish of one's choosing, with matte, polished, galvanized or MioRaw options available. As the brush boasts a form created with 3D printing, it is manufactured in both right- and left-handed versions. As a metal toothbrush with a [removable brush head](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/issa-4-toothbrushes), the premise is that investing in this oral care tool from Zare will make for a long-lasting purchase. The sleek tube packaging that encases the product is also 3D printed and each individual toothbrush comes with its own serial number. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Customizable 3d-printed Toothbrushes:** The ability to customize the finish and design of a metal toothbrush through 3D printing opens up opportunities for personalized oral care products. - **Sustainable Metal Toothbrushes:** The use of stainless steel or titanium in 3D-printed toothbrush handles provides a more durable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastic toothbrushes. - **3D Printing in Oral Care:** The application of 3D printing technology in the production of toothbrushes showcases the potential for innovation and customization in the oral care industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Dental Care:** The dental care industry can explore the integration of 3D printing to create personalized and sustainable toothbrush solutions. - **Manufacturing:** The manufacturing industry can leverage 3D printing technology to produce customized, high-quality metal toothbrushes efficiently. - **Sustainable Products:** The sustainable products industry can benefit from the development of 3D-printed metal toothbrushes as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic toothbrushes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electric Portable Stealthy Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upplang.md) - [Eco-Friendly Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medicalgrade-stainless-steel-toothbrush.md) - [Aluminum Electric Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suri-sustainable-electric-toothbrush.md) - [Multifunctional Titanium Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evogrip.md) - [Gold-Plated Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/24k-gold-plated-toothbrush.md) - [Sustainability-Focused Reusable Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reusable-toothbrush.md) - [Collapsible Titanium Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kif-toothbrush-kit.md) - [Modular Electric Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-electric-toothbrush.md) - [Solar Titanium Toothbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soladey3.md)
