Individuality through state-of-the-art technology: 3D printing and rapid prototyping at CADdent.

In the world of dental technology precision is not just a requirement, but a form of art. At CADdent, we use the advanced techniques of additive manufacturing, such as the proven LaserMelting as well as 3D printing with high quality materials such as ceramics and polymers. Our expertise, combined with an impressive range of materials and innovative manufacturing processes, enables us to implement your individual requirements with the utmost care and competence in rapid prototyping. Your trust is our incentive and we are proud to design groundbreaking solutions together with you.

Rapid Prototyping at CADdent: A fusion of tradition and innovation

At the heart of CADdent is the desire to always provide you with the best solutions. For us, rapid prototyping is more than just a term - it's a promise. This promise includes a wide range of state-of-the-art processes, based on digital design data, to design samples, single components or even small series in a timely manner. In addition to proven technologies such as LaserMelting, the LCM process (Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing) and the DLP process (Digital Light Processing), we not only specialize in additive processes, but have also mastered the art of processing high-performance materials subtractively.

These many different manufacturing processes, combined with an impressive selection of materials, open up technological freedom for us and for you. We implement even the most complex geometries efficiently and economically. At CADdent, "rapid" really does mean fast: depending on the material selected, your ideas often turn into tangible reality in just 2 to 3 working days. It is our pride and passion to discover new dimensions together with you, even outside of dental technology.

The innovative heart: 3D printing at CADdent.

When it comes to precision, cost-effectiveness and future viability, 3D printing - our specialty in additive manufacturing - is in a class of its own. This modern technology opens doors which previously seemed unattainable: be it the realization of extremely complex structures, filigree details or even hollow geometries. What conventional methods such as casting or milling technology bring to their limits, we manage effortlessly with 3D printing.

But this technology scores not only in terms of precision. A significant advantage lies in the resource-saving production, which is not only cost-efficient but also impresses with remarkable speed. Whereas conventional subtractive methods risk wasting material and additionally require specific tooling, the injection molding process first requires the production of an expensive mold. 3D printing cleverly circumvents these hurdles, securing it a firm place in the industry innovation sector, and not only in dental technology.

The magic of 3D printing: unique jewelry with CADdent.

Think of a gift that truly comes from the heart. With the digital flair of 3D printing at CADdent, we transform simple ideas into custom keepsakes. A pendant as unique as your thoughts, whether it is with a beloved paw print of your favorite pet, a priceless child's drawing, or any other vision you would like inspired and transformed into jewelry.

Would you like to wear the pendant as a timeless piece of jewelry on a necklace, as a statement on a bracelet or as a daily companion on your keychain? The choice is yours, and we will help you make your idea a reality.

Take for example a pendant, with gold plated imprint of a cat's paw. The creation of the imprint can be done in a playful way with an impression foam or, for the more creative among you, with a homemade salt dough. And do not worry - if you need a simple recipe for this salt dough, we are here to help. At CADdent, our mission is to combine innovation with emotion, and to create something wonderful together with you.

The art of production at CADdent: every detail counts

Imagine the impression of a beloved pet's paw. At CADdent, we take that physical moment, scan it with our state-of-the-art dental technology, and turn it into a digital reality. It does not just become any pendant - it becomes your pendant. With the flexibility of our design program, we can carefully incorporate names, important dates or even phone numbers into the design.

And once that custom design comes to life, our team uses advanced techniques like SLM to transform materials like cobalt-chrome, titanium, or gleaming silver into a work of art. After it is polished to a high shine, we add a touch of exclusivity on top with a gold-plated paw print indentation. At CADdent, we bring your personal story and our craftsmanship together in harmony.

A piece of childhood, refined by CADdent.

Do you remember your child's first piece of art? At CADdent, we relive those priceless moments in a custom pendant. Use a hand-drawn picture as inspiration, and we will transform it into an exclusive piece of jewelry - a timeless gift for the whole family.

But don not let the fascinating color palette of the titanium surface fool you: No dyes or additives are used here. It is pure science and art at the same time. A process called anodizing creates oxide layers of various thicknesses on the titanium. Depending on this thickness, the surface reflects light differently, creating a play of colors which enchants the eye. At CADdent we combine family moments with first-class technology.

Unique charm imprinted with memories at CADdent.

Imagine every detail you cherish immortalized on a piece of jewelry. At CADdent we create charms which are more than just accessories: they are keepsakes. This particular charm is an unforgettable gift from three sons to their mother. The charm not only has the special date of the gift on its surface, but also the sons' names on its side. As an additional special touch, we have imprinted the church of St. Boniface of Freckenhorst and the characteristic Freckenhorst cross. A piece of home, combined with personal moments, created for eternity.
