Dental – Removable Partial Denture Frameworks
Laser sintered Cobalt Chrome partial denture frameworks are superior to a cast product in many ways.
The sintering process creates a consistent metal structure throughout the final product that cannot be achieved with casting. Laser sintered parts are near 100% dense and have no porosity.
Strength, dimensional accuracy and surface detail are consistently reproduced and not likely to fail as some cast products can.
AMS uses industry leading direct metal printing (DMP) technology. DMP uses a fine grain powder that provides print detail as low as 20 micron. Other technologies using metal injection moulding (MIM) powders use particle sizes of 45-100 micron and cannot produce this level of detail.
Industry Leading Advantage
Chrome Dental Laboratories and Technicians will benefit from:
-
Eliminating steps for casting a product
-
No investment tools and materials
-
No wastage
- Reduce health and safety requirements with no casting fumes and less handling of material
- Able to reproduce frameworks in the case of loss or damage
-
Opportunity to move into new technology with digital design
-
Compete with overseas partial denture products
- Safe for biomedical use with certified (pdf) alloy and process
-
Provide faster turnaround of product that is of superior quality
-
Free up skilled technicians for design, finish and fitting
-
Increase total business capacity to take on more volume of work
-
Respond to your clients demands for the latest digital technology in dentistry
The process requires the technician to digitally design the frame and upload the file to AMS. Once printed and post processing is complete we deliver a frame that can then be polished and fitted.
