Abstract
The present invention relates to an equipment and a process for manufacturing orthodontic and/or prosthetic dental devices. The equipment for manufacturing orthodontic or prosthetic dental devices comprises a plurality of working stations adapted to carry out at least one working operation on an orthodontic or prosthetic semi-finished product and/or on a positive model of a dental arch, at least one working station of the plurality of working stations being a prototyping station and being adapted to carry out prototyping of the orthodontic or prosthetic semi finished product and/or of the positive model by means of one or more mechanical subtractive or additive working operations; a grasping device adapted to maintain the orthodontic or prosthetic semi-finished product and/or the positive model grasped in particular during the working operations, and to move it between a plurality of working stations; and a processing unit adapted to drive the plurality of working stations and the grasping device maintaining updated information about position and orientation of the orthodontic or prosthetic semi-finished product and/or of the positive model thanks to the grasping device; the prototyping station is adapted to carry out one or more subtractive or additive mechanical working operations while the orthodontic or prosthetic semi-finished product and/or the positive model is grasped by the grasping device.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
