8. CAM (subtractive): CNC Machines
• Milling , carving the blocks.
• Fast , high precision.
• Too much wastes.
• Depending on Burs and sharp cutters Hard to mill the
small fissures .
• Need to maintain and replace the cutters frequently.
12. Stereo Lithography SLA
• Charles Hill 1986
• High precision, Slow, Small projects.
• High risk duo to UV
• Input : Resin Liquid >>> Output:
plastic
• Point by point processing
• Dental , Bio laboratory .
26. After Manufacturing
• Coloring (zirconia , PLA , ABS ..).
• Blasting .
• Finishing.
• Dipping in sealer liquid.
• Sintering.
• Hardening.
• Smoothing and polishing.
27. 3D printers vs CNC
• Slow.
• Extreme accuracy (Nanos).
• Higher cost machines.
• limited range of materials .
• Small and easy to use and
maintenance.
• Approximately zero wastes .
• Fast
• High accuracy (microns ).
• Lower than 3D printers.
• Wide range materials .
• Big , heavy , hard to use and
maintenance.
• Huge amount of waste.
28. In Dentistry
3D printers
• Models
• Trays , Plates
• Metal RPD’s
• Metal Crown and bridge
• Maxillofacial
• splints
CNC
• Lithium silicate ceramics ( glass
ceramic)
• Zirconia C&B.
• Peek Restorations.
• Limited dentures
• Metal C&B.
29. Should we care ?
• Knowledge is free !!!
• 3D printers prices go down
Rapidly.
• Technology is going a head .
