Forms Lab
3D printing of wax patterns
Prints wax patterns for casting directly from the digital design, so frameworks start from the exact CAD geometry.
A CAD/CAM dental lab, digital from the first scan
Scanning, design, printing, milling, sintering and casting all happen in our Calicut lab and zirconia milling centre, so your case moves from impression to finished restoration in days, not weeks.
How a case moves through the lab
Seven stages, from the impression or scan you send to the restoration you seat. Scroll to follow one crown.
Impression or scan received
Your physical impression or intraoral scan arrives with the order form.
Scanned
Models from physical impressions are digitised on the lab's cast scanner.
Designed in exocad
The restoration is shaped on screen against the model and the bite.
Milled or printed
Zirconia is milled; wax patterns for metal frameworks are 3D printed.
Cast or sintered
Frameworks are induction cast; zirconia is sintered to full strength.
Finished and glazed
The restoration is stained and glazed to the shade on your Rx.
Checked and dispatched
The finished case is checked and sent back to your clinic.
The equipment
exo cad
CAD/CAM design software
Restorations are designed on screen against the scanned model and bite before anything is milled or printed.
Open Technologies
Model scanner for cast scanning
Turns stone models and impressions into digital models for design.
Yenadent
Milling for zirconium and implants
Mills zirconia and implant components from the finished design.
XTCERA X-mill 500 Plus
Zirconia milling
Mills zirconia restorations from the finished design in Denco's zirconia milling centre.
VOP
Induction casting machine
Casts metal frameworks from the printed wax patterns.
