We believe that Additive Manufacturing technologies will substitute the current procedures in the upcoming months. These technologies have advantages like material savings, complex geometries, good mechanical properties and the closure of the digital cycle. It´s necessary to be updated and known the possibilities and applications of theses technologies in dentistry.
Accuracy tooth- and implant-borne reconstructions, Surface characterization, Translational research, Clinical applications

CNC machining does not allow the total geometry´s freedom because it´s limitations with access and bur size. AM has the possibility to create any geometry you can design.
There is approximately a 40% of material saving compared with the CNC machining of a metal framework for implant prostheses, the metal powder is recycled. Interesting?
No burs are needed for the fabrication of metal frameworks when using additive manufacturing technologies. The CNC machining will be used to define the implant interface.
It consists on combining the best of the CNC machining and best of the Additive Manufacturing technologies.
