What does a metal 3D printer manufacturer, a manufacturer of dental CAD/CAM production systems as well as a production centre have in common? A shared vision for a more developed AM dental market, a field of activity that currently reveals price pressure combined with high quality requirements for dental applications as well as strict and growing regulations.
With the goal of making metal 3D printing accessible to a wide range of industry, One Click Metal is uniquely positioned to address this need. The company is joined in this initiative by imes-icore and i-ProDens, who already have a strong presence in the dental market. It should be noted that this partnership is the first public announcement after INDEX’ acquisition of a majority interest in One Click Metal.
As a developer of dental CAD/CAM systems and solutions, Frankfurt-based imes-icore covers all the individual requirements of dental practices, dental laboratories and milling centres with its wide range of dental CAD/CAM milling and grinding systems. i-ProDens on the other hand, offers individual solutions in dental technology.
Christoph Stark, CEO of imes-icore: „With these high-quality AM systems and the strategic partnerships with One Click Metal and i-ProDens, we are adding another forward-looking technology for professional laboratories and milling centres to our range of dental CAD/CAD production systems for manufacturing dental implants.“
Through the partnership, imes-icore adds metal AM solutions to its product range. Together with One Click Metal, both companies will have a customer and market-oriented strategy to tackle the needs of this specific industry.
Gerrit Brüggemann, CEO of One Click Metal: „The dental market is an important market for us, as customers here are already producing economically with our technology. With the dental system manufacturer imes-icore, which has an established international market access and a solid understanding of customers, and the milling centre i-ProDens, which brings both the process understanding and the customer view, we have found two very strong partners to jointly give dental customers the opportunity to expand their service portfolio in a reasonable and profitable way.“
Yohannes Woldegergis, CEO of i-ProDens: „In this groundbreaking cooperation, we are taking another important step into the digital future of dental technology. Our highly specialised and dedicated team is eager to contribute its many years of experience in building dental frameworks with AM systems and to optimise the process. We look forward to forming the ideal network with imes-icore and One Click Metal.“
