“The EasyShape update now supports all the standard tools Roland offers,” Brooks added, “including the ZCB series, SF series, ZDB (diamond) series and ZDB-HY (special coated for hybrid ceramics) series, plus a new 0.3mm tool for any restoration that requires fine anatomic details. Also included with the update are settings for better surface finish quality and reduced milling time for abutments, bridges, copings and crowns.”

Roland’s DWX-4 is designed to produce a wide range of restorations in-house, eliminating a lab's or clinic’s need to outsource jobs. The DWX-4 combines 4-axis milling with a choice of two or optional 4-position ATC. Dental professionals reportedly can mill a single crown or small bridge quickly, economically and to exacting specifications. Featuring an open architecture design, DWX series mills are engineered to integrate seamlessly into an existing workflow with commercially available dental CAD/CAM software and hardware. In addition to the new materials, the DWX series is also capable of milling wax, PMMA and zirconia.

 has announced a new partnership with BEGO USA through its association with Wieland Precision Technology to provide digital alloy options with Selective Laser Melting and CAD/Casting.

This new partnership is intended to solidify Wieland Precision Technology as a comprehensive outsourcing production center and solution for laboratories to help increase their efficiency for producing quality metal-based restorations.

The Selective Laser Melting offered by BEGO USA and Wieland is a form of rapid prototyping or sterolithography completed using laser technology to melt alloy powder into thin layers. These thin layers are then melted together to create homogenous copings and bridges. Compared to restorations cast in the same alloy, restorations featuring alloys processed with 

 offer higher tensile strength, superior elongation limits, and enhanced modulus of elasticity properties.

Among the BEGO USA Selective Laser Melting alloys available from Wieland Precision Technology is 

, a noble alloy ideal for copings and frameworks up to 5 units. Also available is Wirobond C+, which is used for partially and fully veneered frameworks solutions with up to 16 units, and arrives corrosion resistant, biocompatible, ready for degassing or final polishing, and with outstanding accuracy of fit.  In addition to these two alloys, BEGO USA also fabricates CAD/Casting alloys, including 

“BEGO USA is wonderful business partner,” said Dr. Michael Gaglio, Vice President of Marketing for Ivoclar Vivadent. “They are an innovator in the digital production of alloy-based restorations.  Their attention to detail and commitment to quality are second to none.”
