Your Motivation – is our Drive
David Comiskey
(Comiskey Dental)“Without CAD/CAM software or even a scanner, I feel outdated in the area of dental technology. So, I‘m in search of the optimal solution. Many of the available machines seem to carry a lot of restrictions. My ‘Dream Machine‘ combines the speed of an industrial production system with the flexibility to mill many materials and the ability to integrate with leading software packages. Also, 5-axis machining is a must. The idea that 3-axis machining is sufficient is simply unacceptable. 5-axis machining is the only way that the hand craftsmanship of the dental technician can be duplicated.“ |

Kerstin Straßburger
(Zahntechnik – Kerstin Straßburger)“In 2004, we invested in a closed CAD/CAM system with a table sharpening unit and we‘re very content with it. The advantages include the compact dimensions, the simple software operation and the ability to work with different plastics, as well as ceramics such as Zirconium Dioxide, Feldspar and Glass ceramics. Since ceramics were already the primary material used in our laboratory, this was an important aspect for us. But, there are restrictions. For example, the size of the ceramic blocks cannot be any bigger than 85 mm and metals cannot be processed and require outsourcing. The perfect addition to our laboratory would be a compact, space saving, 5-axis machine capable of all of this!“ |

Andrés Bernhardt
(Dentallabor Bernhardt)“We work with a scanner and software that yields STL files for use on many materials. The question arises whether a single milling machine can be compatible with these applications and flexible enough to meet the demands of hectic everyday lab life. Besides ceramics like Zirconium, NEM is of paramount importance for us. Plus, we‘d like a machine designed with the flexibility to accommodate the newest materials like high-speed plastics and even ones that have not been developed yet. Finally, while we need to cut metals, conventional machines designed to do this are typically too big and heavy to fit into a tight space with old timber floor boards.“ |
