PFM (SLM) with printed metal substructure
Our PFM workflow uses SLM printed metal instead of a conventional cast framework. It gives the restoration a more accurate fit and is useful when a case needs stronger support, longer-span planning, or a metal framework where zirconia may not be the safest choice.
- Printed metal framework for improved support and fit.
- Layered porcelain over the SLM metal structure.
- Helpful for longer spans or cases with higher support demands.
