[History.]

From dental casting machines to metal 3D printing systems.

Dentas has been shaped by decades of machine development for dental laboratories — from casting and soldering technologies to digital milling and controlled LPBF metal 3D printing systems.

[Development path.]

Each generation added a new level of control.

The Dentas story is not a single product launch. It is a step-by-step development path through dental machine engineering, digitalisation and controlled metal production.

1986

Casting appliance SM MB 86

The first semi-automatic casting appliance set the foundation for future Dentas machine development and long-term focus on dental production equipment.

1995

Micro point and CeraJet

A sandblaster and steam cleaner produced for Schütz Dental expanded the development path into practical laboratory equipment.

1997

Casting machine Dor-a-matic

The first automatic casting machine in protective argon atmosphere supported non-metal alloys, precious and non-precious metals, titanium and similar materials.

2001

Welder for contactless soldering

Contactless soldering of precious and non-precious metals for dentistry and goldsmithing introduced another step toward controlled metal workflows.

2012

1st CNC CAD/CAM milling machine Arrow Mill

The first digital milling machine marked a major turning point in the digitalisation of dental laboratories. The Arrow brand was born.

2017

First 3D laser printer for metal

Dentas introduced its first 3D printer for metal alloys. The first model had a separated printer and pedestal design.

2019

Market-ready 3D printer for oxygen-reactive metals

The machine for printing titanium, aluminium and other printable metals was introduced at IDS 2019.

2023

Arrow LMP100v3

The Arrow LMP100v3 became a compact LPBF system for laboratories evaluating controlled in-house dental metal production.

2024

Dentas becomes part of SIPRA

In November 2024, Dentas merged with SIPRA, strengthening the foundation for further development of compact LPBF systems for dental laboratories.

[Consistent.]

01

Dental machine development

Dentas has always developed around practical machine use in dental laboratory environments.

02

Controlled metal workflows

From casting to LPBF, the focus remains on controlled production of dental metal components.

03

Step-by-step innovation

Each generation builds on the previous one — from manual processes to digital production and metal 3D printing.

What stayed consistent through every generation.

The technologies changed, but the direction remained the same: practical machines for controlled dental metal workflows.
