Problem
Dental laboratories and prosthodontic clinics face high costs and long lead times when producing German Crown telescopic dentures, which require precise multi‑material fabrication and extensive manual labor.
Solution
FIDENTIS addresses this by combining the functional characteristics of precious‑metal telescopic crowns with a hybrid manufacturing approach that dramatically reduces material usage and production time. Their patent‑pending multi‑material additive manufacturing system simultaneously processes cobalt‑chrome and gold alloys in a single laser powder‑bed fusion build, depositing precious metal only on the fitting surface. This creates a friction‑fit crown that can be individually adjusted while maintaining long‑term durability. The fully automated production chain speeds up manufacturing by up to 20‑fold compared with traditional methods and eliminates most manual steps, enabling scalable, high‑quality denture production.
Target Audience
Primary customers are dental laboratories, prosthodontic specialists, and dental clinics that require high‑quality, cost‑effective telescopic crowns and denture solutions.
