The first domestic industrial-grade high-performance ceramic 3D printer come out

Open your mouth, align the teeth 3D scan, 3D printer can print out a zirconia ceramic denture ... ... Reporters learned from the Kunshan Institute of Industrial Technology on the 21st, the hospital incubation team Boli force independent research and development company of domestic pioneering industry Level high-performance ceramic 3D printer and supporting ceramic slurry come out and access to the first 3D printed ceramic dentures medical device registration card. Before the advent of 3D printing technology, people had to make a denture, which needed to be bite out of the tooth film before being sent to the factory for making and repeatedly carving. The 3D printing technique not only improved the efficiency but also greatly saved the material. In recent years, metal 3D printing technology is gradually applied to the manufacture of dental crowns, bridges, stents, etc. However, 3D printing of ceramic dentures is a difficult task. The difficulty lies in the material and laser curing technology, while maintaining the material flow, but also be able to quickly set. According to reports, the ceramic 3D printer using laser scanning curing high ceramic content slurry. Laser power, laser spot size and scanning speed are variable during printing. At present, the products of the 3D printing zirconia ceramic denture production line have passed the mechanical properties and biological tests, and in October 2017 the medical device registration certificate of the first 3D printed ceramic denture has been obtained. It is reported that this 3D printed zirconia ceramic denture material utilization rate of up to 90%, no internal denture cracks, lower cost, is very conducive to the promotion of the application of 3D printed ceramic denture. After testing, this ceramic 3D printer and supporting materials with completely independent intellectual property rights, the performance has reached the advanced foreign level, the price is only imported equipment, 1/4, and all 3D printing materials to achieve independent research and development production, fully replace imported.
