manual designfor casting
digital design for 3D printing
import for printer
• less hand labor
• more flexibility
• more precision
• constant quality
• optimum design possible
• no chance of air inclusions
Advantages digital processvs hand made lost wax casting
3D Bioprinting Conference19 June 2014 MECC Maastricht
• design is digital so easy to store
• economics of scale possible
• more easy to train staf
• staf is wider deployable
• CoCr and Titanium is possible
• more production capacity available

production process dental lab / Dentinno
3D Bioprinting Conference19 June 2014 MECC Maastricht
Dental Lab scans the plaster model
Dental Lab makes the 3D design on the computer and sends the STL file to Dentinno
Dentinno produces the partial by SLM
Dentinno polishes the partial in mirror Finnish
Dental lab completes the partial with teeth

• frame technician saves time ( ± 1,5 hours Per partial ) Average number of frames per frame technician per day increased from 4 to 16.
• less use of metal, hardly no waste
• no waste of duplication materials
Savings with the digital process:

Design software
3D Bioprinting Conference19 June 2014 MECC Maastricht
Availeble software for design Partials :
• Digilea (France)
• Sensible / Freeform (US)
Dentinno can train the personal for the digital designing
11
Conditions for a good 3D design :
3D Bioprinting Conference19 June 2014 MECC Maastricht
• The quality of the plaster model should be very good.
• There should be no failures in the scan .
• Pay much attention to the fine-tuning by making the design (this takes a lot less time then post processing).
Attention: De designer makes the difference in the final quality
12
3D Bioprinting Conference19 June 2014 MECC Maastricht
A good plaster print without errors is a prerequisite for a good fit
a failure in the plaster model will be scanned and
printed in the partial

• Dentinno uses the latest generation metal-laser printers.
• We produce frames with the same flexibility as casted frames.
• Metal alloy powder is similar to the casting CoCr-metal that is used.

Conditions for 3D printing
3D Bioprinting Conference19 June 2014 MECC Maastricht
You need a STL file of the desired product
How you get an STL file ?
- by a CAD drawing - by a scan of an existing product ( reverse engineering )
Design Rules :
- no limitations compared to machining- in metal printing you need supports so the position on the building plate is important - smooth designs need less supports
21
Post treatment SLM products
3D Bioprinting Conference19 June 2014 MECC Maastricht
Removing the products of the base plate and removing the supports
22
Post treatment SLM products
3D Bioprinting Conference19 June 2014 MECC Maastricht
Possible post treatments :
1 - sand blasting 2 - trumbling3 - cnc machining4 - grinding / polishing by hand 5 - high frequent polishing
23

Developments in the (near) future
3D Bioprinting Conference19 June 2014 MECC Maastricht 30
3 D printing the gums and teeth ass well
printing is already possible but the proper material is not available yet and the design software is not ready yet
