Matsuura LX0-5AX linear motor 5 axis machine cutting a Dental Bridge from sold titanium. This coming era of orthodontic dentistry technology and practice will be in most developed nations in the coming 5 years, judging by the interest from major medical and dentistry concerns.

The LX0-5AX is an "ultra high speed 5 axis cnc machine tool" equipped with a 43,000 rpm spindle as standard (option 60,000rpm) and rapids of 90 metres per minute. All 5 axis are Linear Motor driven.

  • You can already get your teeth done in ceramics, to match the originals.

  • Zak, here in the USA we have had this technology for some years now. You are right, the broken tooth is scanned and an exact copy machined for the patient. It is not cheap but the best solutions are never cheap. Personally I think it is qquite cost effective for this solution. This is incredible technology from Japan.

  • Fantastic machine tool - is this a customer job?

    I heard that CNC technology is used in orthodontics in Japan, the USA & in Spain to re-create the persons tooth if it gets broken (I believe they scan the broken tooth & make an exact replica CAD model) - & it could be a massively growing sector.
