P55D

Digital dentistry company, UP3D has unveiled its latest innovation: the P55D high-end dry milling machine. Various features are combined in this dry milling machine that aim to make dry milling more efficient. This device integrates precision servo control and all-weather stable production technology, promising 24-hour efficient continuous milling for dental professionals, according to UP3D. P55D contains a high-speed electric spindle, which when combined with an air-free design, ensures plug-and-play operation without the need for peripheral configuration.This spindle enables up to 60,000 rpm, making it well-suited for hard materials, per the company. Added to this, P55D reportedly accommodates a diverse array of materials including zirconia, wax, PMMA, PEEK, composite resin, and soft metals. This versatility, catering to both disc and block specifications, aims to empower dental practitioners with customized solutions to enhance production efficiency. Remote control capabilities are another highlight, facilitated by Millmind software. Intelligent milling alerts and tool life monitoring minimize downtime, maximizing productivity and efficiency. Structural optimization and an integrated dustproof design are said to significantly reduce maintenance requirements, extending the machine's service life. The larger milling chamber further enhances work efficiency, providing operators with added space for material installation and removal. This 5-axis machine is indicated for a variety of applications, including inlays, crowns, veneers, and more. To learn more about the P55D, visit the website here.

Dentbird Batch

Dental artificial intelligence (AI) group Imagoworks has announced the launch of a new mass-production software called Dentbird Batch. Dentbird Batch reportedly automates crown design for mass processing. This enables users to process multiple cases in a single upload, according to a press release from Imagoworks. Suitable for medium to large dental labs, Dentbird Batch uses AI to analyze data, detecting tooth abutments and margins. This AI-assisted design process is built from Dentbird Crown, which is Imagoworks’s crown design platform. Batch enables the mass processing of patient data for autonomous design results in less time, per the press release. Users will install Dentbird Batch to their system, create or use their already-existing Dentbird account, then uploading parameters and scan data. From there, the design process begins. Another feature is the 3D viewer. Through this tool, users can fine-tune and modify design specifications directly from their web browsers, ensuring control and customization. This real-time feedback mechanism empowers users to optimize their designs with precision before finalizing the STL file.
