XJet Ltd. announced that it is working with global dentistry leader Straumann Group to boost the Carmel 1400 AM System at its Basel headquarters from concept to production.
“We’ve been working with XJet NanoParticle Jetting technology for some time, up to now it has been used for developing product iterations and providing proof of concept,” says Straumann VP Stephan Oehler, “Now we’re scoring the first product development project to reach the next level of bringing this technology to production of ceramic end-use parts. We believe this technology can scale-up for production effectively, there’s a large print bed and with the soluble support material we find post-processing simple and efficient.”

Straumann被公认为是提高牙科患者护理标准的领先创新者，是陶瓷添加剂制造的早期采用者，是最早投资XJET NPJ技术的公司之一。根据Oehler的说法，由于零件的准确性，较短的整体生产周期和改变游戏规则的可溶性支持材料，因此Straumann被该技术赢得了胜利。
“We work with ceramic in a lot of our products, so when we learned there was a new technology in the field, we looked into it. XJet convinced us with the quality of parts, the fine details and accuracy. In addition to that, the density of the material is extremely high, close to 100%, so it’s not like working with an ‘AM material’. We’re well-versed with the benefits of AM, so we knew that the freedom of design and complex geometries delivered by the technology, now for ceramic materials, could open up new product and application possibilities for the business,” states Philippe Chavanne, Head New Technology Competence Center, adding:
“我们对XJET团队（尤其是医疗保健和教育副总裁Avi Cohen）提供的杰出奉献和支持给我们留下了深刻的印象，后者从第一刻起就为我们提供了支持。”
Headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, Straumann Group develops, manufactures, and supplies dental implants, instruments, biomaterials, CADCAM prosthetics, digital equipment, software, and clear aligners for applications in replacement, restorative, orthodontic and preventive dentistry. Despite the COVID19 pandemic, Straumann has been able to keep its XJet Carmel 1400 AM System running throughout.
Oehler说：“已经对Carmel 1400上生产的陶瓷零件已经有需求，并且社交距离是可行的，因为该系统的操作非常简单，因此我们能够使系统甚至通过全球流行病保持运行。”
“这是令人难以置信的工作与全球leaders such as Straumann who are passionate and innovative about the products and services they provide. Working with them to move into production parts is hugely motivating and we’re delighted to see our partnership go from strength to strength,” enthuses XJet CBO Dror Danai.
