Renishaw is a major dental framework and equipment supplier, bringing over 40 years' worth of knowledge to the industry.
Renishaw designs and manufactures additive manufacturing systems for manufacturing components in a variety of metals using a process called metal powder bed fusion (or laser melting). Our expertise in process development and our experience in using the technology in our own manufacturing operations enable us to provide turn-key and optimised additive manufacturing solutions for a broad range of applications in the industrial and healthcare sectors.
Additive manufacturing can give the manufacturer a significant competitive advantage, making it ideal for custom made dental applications.
AM removes many of the constraints seen in more traditional manufacturing methods such as milling, casting or fabrication. This opens new possibilities for complex geometries and mass customisation of parts, at a commercially viable cost, that were previously unfeasible.
In materials such as cobalt chrome and titanium, AM offers a commercially advantageous way to convert manual dental production into a streamlined digital workflow. This creates the possibility to work with open dental CAD systems and therefore increase potential customer base.
