Dental CAD/CAM Equipment in India

Depending on equipment, software and materials: crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays and onlays, implant restorations, custom abutments, splints and retainers, dentures and denture components, implant bars, temporaries, dental models and selected orthodontic appliances.

For example, the X-MILL 500 PLUS is listed for crowns and bridges, inlays and onlays, veneers, customised abutments, splints and retainers, removable dentures, implant bars and Malo bridges.

Depending on the machine: zirconia, PMMA, wax, glass ceramics, composites, titanium, cobalt-chromium and other metals, PEEK and PEKK. No machine handles every material. The X-MILL 500 PLUS is listed for zirconia, wax, PMMA and soft metal; the X-MILL 600 for CoCr/NEM, titanium, PMMA, wax, glass ceramics and hybrid ceramics. Check material compatibility before axis count or speed.

A 4-axis machine adds one rotational axis to the linear axes. A 5-axis machine adds another, so the tool can reach complex geometries from more directions, which helps with implant components and challenging cases. Whether you need 5-axis depends on case volume, materials, restoration types, software, space and production requirements.

Dry milling processes compatible materials without coolant. Wet milling uses liquid during machining, typically for materials that need controlled cooling. Some machines do both: the D5 and RZ-5DW are wet and dry, the X-MILL 500 PLUS is dry, and the X-MILL 600 is wet.

1. Start with the work you produce most. A zirconia-crown lab needs something different from one making implant bars or metal frameworks.
2. List your materials, current and planned, and match them to the manufacturer's supported list.
3. Consider production volume. Small labs may prioritise compact systems and running costs; high-volume labs, tool capacity, automation and uptime.
4. Plan the whole workflow – scanner, CAD and CAM software, extraction, compressor, sintering and finishing.
5. Check open-system compatibility between scanners, software and machines.
6. Ask about installation, training, consumables and support.

There's no single price. Scanners, milling machines, sintering furnaces and 3D printers sit in different price ranges, and milling machine prices vary with axes, wet or dry operation, spindle, automation, tool capacity and materials. Compare the total setup, not one machine. AGKEM can recommend equipment based on your applications, materials, volume and existing workflow.
