About FOLLOW-ME! Technology
FOLLOW-ME! Technology GmbH develops and distributes hyperDENT, a CAM software for digital dental manufacturing. The modular software generates toolpaths for CNC milling machines, additive manufacturing processes and dental hybrid manufacturing — a combination of additive and subtractive technologies — and can be used independent of material, among other things for dental restorations made of ceramic. hyperDENT solutions are aimed at milling centers, dental laboratories and chairside laboratories of all sizes. The company was founded in 2007 in Munich as a spin-off of OPEN MIND and is now represented as FOLLOW-ME! Technology Group with six subsidiaries in China, Korea, Japan, Singapore, North America and Italy; its headquarters are in Munich. In addition to the software, FOLLOW-ME! offers support, training and webinars as well as the cloud service hyperDENT connect for data transfer in dental production. Cooperations exist with machine and material manufacturers such as imes-icore, vhf, DATRON, Röders, TRUMPF, EOS, DMG MORI/SAUER as well as the German dental material manufacturer Dental Direkt.
