The biennial International Dental Show in Köln, Germany is a meeting place for worldwide dental technology suppliers, dental laboratories, and dentist.  This meeting from March 22-26 has been marked on many calendars for the two years building up to the show

Recent changes in dental CAD/CAM technology include a strong emphasis on “open architecture” dental technology process chains.  Dental laboratories and milling centres can combine best-of-class solutions for independent technology providers, using a variety of scanning devices, dental CAD software, dental CAM software and machine tools.  Further, machining technologies including milling machines, automation robots, cutters (burrs), and fixturing solutions can be sourced from a number of top performing companies.

This is a departure from historical dental solutions that simplified the purchasing cycle with one-button closed-architecture solutions.  The downside of those solutions was low- and standard-performance, not achieved by today’s high-performing open-architecture solutions.

OPEN MIND Technologies will present our world-class dental CAM solutions at IDS, and include many of our partners together within our booth.  So the ability to see complete solutions remains quite easy, even with open-architecture systems combined from many independent solution providers.

Come see OPEN MIND at IDS in Hall 3.1, Booth H040.  And, come see our partners.  In the booth, are milling machines by Agie-Charmilles, Datron, and Imes-Icore, cutter manufacturer Emuge-Franken, material suppliers Doceram and HC Starck, software suppliers Follow ME and Exocad, successful end-user milling centres Millhouse and Smile that can share their experiences using combinations of many of these technology components, and more.

OPEN MIND will also be co-exhibiting within DMG Sauer in their booth Hall 4.2, Booth J-010, where our solutions will be on display in combination with DMG’s dental milling machines and automation centers.

OPEN MIND will have representatives from many worldwide offices to meet prospects and customers.
