What milling machines are compatible with your dental zirconia block?

In the field of digital manufacturing of dental restorations, our dental zirconia block has excellent compatibility with the vast majority of mainstream five-axis milling centers. For instance, it is perfectly compatible with Dekelmahau’s DWX series and Rhodes’ E4 grade milling equipment. The spindle speeds of these machines typically reach 40,000 to 60,000 RPM, with positioning accuracy as high as ±1 micron, ensuring a perfect fit of the restoration edge. According to an industry analysis report in 2023, when our zirconia blocks are used for processing on the above-mentioned equipment, the material utilization rate can exceed 95%, and the cutting cycle of a single crown can be shortened to 12 minutes, significantly increasing the daily production capacity of the technical workshop.

For users of four-axis milling machines who pursue high cost performance, our zirconia blocks also perform exceptionally well. Take the Zenotec mini series of Wangyuan Medical as an example. Although the spindle power of this equipment is 0.8 kilowatts, by optimizing the cutting parameters, the total time for processing a three-unit bridge body can be controlled within 45 minutes, reducing the comprehensive cost of a single repair by nearly 40%. A survey of over 500 small and medium-sized technical schools shows that by adopting this combination plan, the average investment payback period can be shortened to 15 months, and the annual profit margin is expected to increase by 8 to 10 percentage points.

Zirconia Blocks for Dental Restorations

The physical properties of materials are the key to ensuring the success of processing. The flexural strength of our zirconia blocks is no less than 800 megapascals before sintering, and it can exceed 1500 megapascals after sintering, with a Vickers hardness as high as 1250 HV. This excellent mechanical property enables it to withstand the huge stress during the machine tool cutting process, and at the same time adapt to various processing modes ranging from wet cutting (with the coolant temperature maintained at 20 degrees Celsius) to dry cutting (with the environmental humidity controlled at 50%±10%). In a clinical research report in 2022, the Dental Center of the University of Zurich pointed out that the five-year clinical success rate of restorations made from this material was as high as 98.5%, demonstrating outstanding reliability.

In terms of integrating automated production processes, our zirconia blocks form a seamless solution with various CAD/CAM software (such as 3Shape, exocad) and sintering equipment (such as Xunci Technology’s Firebird series sintering furnaces). Take a standard production line as an example. From data acquisition to the final sintering of the restoration, the entire process can be completed within 3 hours. During the sintering stage, the temperature is raised to 1500 degrees Celsius at a rate of 50 degrees Celsius per minute and maintained for 2 hours, ensuring that the material achieves the best semi-transparency and strength. After introducing this full-chain solution, the well-known Dental technology company Modern Dental has increased its production efficiency by 30% and reduced the frequency of manual intervention by 60%, achieving true intelligent manufacturing.
