CAD/CAM 1_2014 _The smart and the smart plus models are the latest in the Tizian Cut CAM family from Schütz Dental (Fig. 3). The newest hardware and software innovationsinbothsimultaneousfive-axismachines make them more precise, faster and more comfort- able than any other previous Tizian Cut system. The automatic tool changer can take up to 16 milling and grinding tools. An addition to Tizian Cut5smart,theTizianCut5smartplusmodelcomes with a fully automated eight-fold blank changer (Fig. 1). Together with the tool-changing de- vice, this allows for continuous operation. Both machines can be fitted with a tool-ad- ministration module to ensure that the user willalwaysknowwhenatoolneedsreplacing. TheTizianCut5smartmillingmachineisjust 50 cm wide. It can master almost every milling task, almost any undercut and almost any ma- terial—even final non-precious metals. With a water-cooling system, which is available separately and retrofitted, this machine be- comes a milling machine for glass ceramics. Both CNC versions can be upgraded with water-cooling system and a collecting tank. Thismeansthatlithiumdisilicateandzirconia- reinforced glass ceramics can be milled using thewet-machiningfeature. Particularly impressive is that a machine as compact as Tizian Cut 5 smart can be used for dry machining of non-precious metals (Fig. 2). Owing to the sinter-less process, precise fitting and high quality of materials, the machine produces bridges of up to 14 units and is suitable for milling implant- supported bridges with a passive fit. The produc- tion of frameworks is precise and time saving with Tizian Creativ RT advanced CAD software: following a virtual design, the Tizian machine mills a framework from a modelling acrylic or wax. Owing to an axis angle of up to 30 degrees, un- dercuts can be produced seamlessly. This quick, compactall-roundermillsathree-unitmetalbridge in just 50 minutes. Tizian machines do not require licences and import open STL data._ Schütz Dental GmbH Dieselstr.5–6 61191 Rosbach Germany www.schuetz-dental.de CAD/CAM_contact Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Five-axistabletopmillingsystem with automated eight-fold blank changer CAD0114_42_Schuetz 14.04.14 11:52 Seite 1
