About CADfirst Dental Fräszentrum
CADfirst Dental Fräszentrum GmbH operates a CAD/CAM central manufacturing center in Karlskron near Ingolstadt for dentists and dental technicians. The company offers a complete digital solution from data acquisition through its in-house CAD design center to CAM production. Classic model orders including digitization of the models are processed, as well as finished STL datasets of all common systems (including 3Shape, Exocad, Sirona, Straumann, Dental Wings) and intraoral scans from various manufacturers. Production is equipped with CNC milling, CNC grinding, Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and 3D printing; zirconia is densified using the high-temperature or speed sintering process. The material portfolio includes multilayer zirconias, glass ceramics (lithium disilicate, leucite, feldspar, zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate), hybrid ceramic, PMMA and composites, cobalt-chromium alloys and titanium. Products manufactured include crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers, abutments, bars, telescopes and implant restorations, complemented by software support, material consulting and a data upload portal.

Materials and Processes
Zirconia (including KATANA YML/HTML/STML/UTML, Nacera Pearl, IPS e.max ZirCAD)
Multilayer and mixed-structure zirconias for crowns, bridges, frameworks and implant restorations, milled and subsequently sintered.
Glass ceramic (IPS e.max CAD, IPS Empress CAD, VITA Suprinity, Celtra Duo)
Lithium disilicate, leucite, feldspar and zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramics for highly aesthetic restorations from inlay to three-unit implant bridge.
Hybrid ceramic VITA ENAMIC
Polymer-infiltrated feldspar ceramic with dentin-like elasticity for thin, substance-preserving restorations including implant crowns.
PMMA and composites (breCAM.multiCOM, Dentsply Sirona Multilayer, VIPI Trilux)
Polymers for tooth- and implant-supported provisional and long-term provisional restorations in mono- and multicolor versions.
Cobalt-chromium alloys (Colado CAD CoCr4, dima Mill CoCr solid, Quattro Disc)
Biocompatible non-precious metal alloys for crowns, bridges up to 16 units, telescopes, attachments, bars and implant structures; also via Selective Laser Melting.
Titanium (Colado CAD Ti5, rematitan SLM)
Corrosion-resistant, biocompatible titanium with low allergy potential for crowns, bridges, frameworks and bars; milled or produced via SLM.
Selective Laser Melting (SLM)
Additive process for CoCr and titanium restorations, with which undercuts and casting geometries can also be realized.
High-temperature / speed sintering of zirconia
Heat treatment step for densification of the milled zirconia, also available as speed sintering with short process times.
