What is dental milling machine?

A Dental milling machine is used for the process of milling and grinding three-dimensional objects from a digital file using a computer-guided machine.  A dental milling machine is used to make dental crowns, copings, dental bridges, removable dental prostheses, temporary prostheses, complete dentures, implant abutments, etc.

The factors you need to consider when purchasing a dental milling machines

1.  Available Milling Material

The first thing you should consider when choosing a dental milling machine is what you can mill. Good dental milling machines can mill different types of material, including zirconia, PMMA and wax. So you have to determine what material the machine can mill.

2. Processing Methods

When it comes to the processing methods of a CAD/CAM system, there are two types of milling operations that determine the material and cost required for a milling machine, including:

lDry Machining: Also known as dry milling or dry ball milling, dry milling that uses pressurized air and vacuum to remove particles of material. Dry grinding can use materials such as zirconia, polyester ether ketone, PMMA and waxes to develop restorations and restorations.

lWet Machining: Coolant spray protects diamond or carbide milling cutters from damage due to high temperatures. This process is necessary for metals, ceramics and resins and generally results in less particle filling and more accurate restorations.

So you can choose a milling machine according to what you want to manufacture from your raw material.

3.  Processing Speed

Processingspeed is another major factor to consider when buying a dental milling machine. A high-performance machine can complete single-unit, full-contour crowns in 12 to 20 minutes, while a low-end model may take over an hour. This is why it's important to choose a top-of-the-line milling machine that can process multiple units at once.

4. Processing Accuracy

Accuracy is also an important factor for choosing a dental milling machine.It can ensure your processing quality.

5. Types of Cooling

The type of cooling used in your dental milling machine will impact both the functionality and quality of your product. 

6. Operability

Before purchasing the milling machines, you should consider how easy it will be to use the machine and whether you can use it properly for your purpose. A multifunctional but easy-to-use milling machine guarantees a smooth working process.
