DOF unveils Craft 5X Dental Milling Machine

South Korea: CAD/CAM solutions provider DOF Inc. introduced the Craft 5X Dental Milling Machine said to provide a one-step milling solution for dental clinics and laboratories. The wet and dry milling machine purportedly improves accuracy by preventing errors that may occur during scanning. 

One-step milling

While conventional custom abutment production goes through complex stages of designing, milling, and scanning the abutment, the Craft 5X Dental Milling Machine’s one-step milling reduces the production stages by milling the abutment and the suprastructures simultaneously with the 5-axis reverse milling method, said the Korean company.

The Craft 5X features a water tank, a dust collector, and a compressor all in one compact assemblage.

“The amazing part about an all-in-one machine is that it can be installed anywhere without space restrictions, and maintenance is very simple,” said Henry Park, CEO of DOF. 

“Our goal with the Craft 5X is to streamline the milling process, remove the limitations of materials and dental lab space, and provide an easier way to capture contours of teeth in extreme detail – allowing dentists to better serve their patients.”

Key features

The key features of the Craft 5X Dental Milling Machine include:

• Wet & Dry Compatible: Zirconia, wax, PMMA, hybrid ceramic, glass ceramic and titanium are able to be milled
• 5-Axis: Featuring 5-axis simultaneous machining, ideal for cases with severe undercuts and/or multiple insertion angles
• 90 Degree Milling: It perfectly reproduces the contours of teeth with the 90 degree milling, especially anterior teeth
• One-Step Milling: It mills custom abutments and suprastructures at the same time without the abutment scanning.
