How a São Paulo laboratory brought milling in-house with two SDM6T units

Twelve technicians, 220 units a day, and a nine-month payback after moving from outsourced milling to in-house production.

Challenge

The laboratory was outsourcing all zirconia work to a milling centre 40 km away. Turnaround was three days, margins were thin because of the per-unit fee, and remakes took another three days.

Solution

We installed two SDM6T machines, configured hyperDENT profiles for their case mix, trained the team in Portuguese over four sessions and prepared the INMETRO documentation package with their local consultancy.

Result

Within two months the laboratory was milling 220 units per day in-house. Same-day delivery became possible for their key clinics, and the combined investment paid back in nine months.
