Compact, digitally driven subtractive fabrication systems designed specifically for the dental industry offer precise and efficient production of crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers, and other restorative elements from materials like zirconia, wax, PMMA, and composites. These systems often integrate seamlessly with CAD/CAM software for a streamlined digital workflow, allowing dentists and lab technicians to design and manufacture restorations in-house.
The adoption of this technology signifies a shift toward improved precision, faster turnaround times, and enhanced patient care within dental practices. This advancement offers significant advantages over traditional fabrication methods, including reduced labor costs, minimized material waste, and increased production capacity. The historical development of these technologies reflects continuous improvement in automation, materials science, and software integration, leading to greater accessibility and wider application within the field.
