Manufacturing technology
subtractive machining, and the occlusal fissures are always rounded due to the finite diameter of the mill, additive manufacturing proved to be very advantageous here.
Outlook
3D printing processes have the significant advantage that the properties of the components can be influenced during the design process. This applies to both the mechanical and aesthetic properties of a component. With subtractive processes, however, these characteristics are already determined by the milling blank. In this way, 3D printing offers enormous design freedom. When looking at the additive production of ceramic dental components, completely new approaches will pave the way to producing dental prostheses and replacement teeth, which look as natural as possible. The digital recording of three-dimensional tooth layering using NIRI technology, together with tooth structure databases, forms the basis of this technology. High-precision ceramic 3D printing technologies, such as Lithoz’s LCM process, are the ideal manufacturing methods to make this long awaited goal a reality. Gradient
The components Lithoz produces meet high levels of density, stability and precision.
technologies can be individually adapted to restoration geometries, offering unimaginable design freedom in three- dimensional space unachievable using conventional technologies.
3D insight
Through interdisciplinary collaboration between specialists in the areas of mechanical engineering, process engineering and chemistry, Lithoz has succeeded in developing a manufacturing system for the additive manufacture of ceramics suited to industrial and medical applications. This system, which has been developed in Austria, is specially suited to producing
highly precise components for complex applications. The components produced meet the high levels of density, stability and precision required by the ceramics industry and ceramic research.
Lithoz offers customer specific solutions, along with expert and specialist advice. Through the co-operation of diverse research facilities and lively exchange with customers, it continuously improves its services. The company understands that only by working together can a vision be transformed into reality, and provide the space to grow and learn. ●
