About Amann Girrbach
Amann Girrbach, headquartered in Mäder (Austria), is a manufacturer of CAD/CAM systems for digital dental technology. The portfolio includes 3D desktop scanners, 4- and 5-axis milling machines (wet/dry), high-temperature and inert-gas sintering furnaces, articulators, facebows as well as related materials such as zirconia, CoCr sintered metal, titanium Grade 5, PMMA, PEEK, wax and lithium disilicate. Well-known product lines include Ceramill (Map FX, Motion 3, Matik, Matron, Therm 3, Argotherm 2, Sintron) and Artex. In 2014, the company was the first to enable the dry processing of sintered CoCr metal on desktop milling machines in the dental laboratory; the Ceramill Sintron material was developed by the company in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute IFAM Dresden. With a global service network, on-site technical service in over 90 countries, digital support via the Ceramill Helpdesk and training courses offered by AG.Academy, Amann Girrbach serves dental laboratories and dental practices worldwide.
