3D牙科市场的Renishaw和Cardiff University Corner Liche

雷尼沙is working with theCardiff University Dental Hospital(CUDH)开发3D打印的钴铬(COCR)可移动的部分义齿。

虽然印刷了3Ddentalmedicalimplants have been in the news lately, more affordable removable partial dentures, which do not require invasive surgery, have seen consistent year-on-year growth.

简化工作流程

Currently, removable partial dentures are produced in wax or digitally designed and then manually cast. The many variables involved in making detailed dental casts result in a significant number of miscasts. According to a雷尼沙的案例研究, industry feedback suggests that 14 to 20 percent of dental castings require remakes.

CUDH and Renishaw are using 3D printing to make the process of producing removable partial dentures more streamlined and cost-effective, reducing waste and enabling easy refinements and iteration.

David Cruickshank, a PhD student in digital denture design, has been working with Renishaw at CUDH as part of his PhD thesis. Also working on 3D printed RPDs with Renishaw at CUDH are Roger Maggs, Senior Chief Dental Laboratory Manager, Liam Addy, Consultant in Restorative Dentistry and Paul Clark, Senior Dental Technologist.

消除蜡铸件

Geomagic是工程软件品牌3D系统, a manufacturer of 3D printers.Renishaw/Cudh团队使用地质的Freeform CAD softwarewith aTouch X haptic device,旨在为CAD用户提供“更精确的定位输入和高保真力量反馈输出”。

A Renishaw DS20 optical scanner is used to create initial dental scans, whilst a Renishaw AM250 metal 3D printer fabricates the CoCr RPDs. As explained in the case study, “一旦对主模型进行了扫描,它将直接导入到Freeform软件中。从这里开始,操作员可以开始识别插入轴并阻止底切。”

使用蜡制作铸件的耗时过程已被使用AM250 Metal 3D Printign Systems制造所取代。取消铸造已导致了大幅提高效率,“ CUDH的主要好处”继续进行研究,“他们[他们可以[可以]简单地将.STL数据发送给Renishaw进行制造,并且可以从事下一份工作而不是工作必须通过高技能的铸造过程进行工作。”

牙科3D打印的关键市场

随着添加剂制造雷电竞充值市场的多样化,许多公司注意到对解决方案与牙科特别相关的需求更高。

今年,3D Systems最近发布了Next Dent 5100 3D打印机,并在启动时进行了3D打印行业与3D系统首席执行官Vyomesh Joshi进行了交谈关于为什么牙科已成为如此“关键的市场”。

In 2017, Prodways unveiled theProMaker LD-10 3D printer对于牙科,基于公司的动光技术。现在,在该公司的重要地标中,已将两个LD-10卖给了一家主要的北美牙科实验室。
