PFM (SLM) with printed metal substructure
ArtyCad PFM crowns and bridges are built on a cobalt-chrome substructure printed by SLM (selective laser melting); we do not cast metal. Printed metal fits more accurately and bonds reliably when cemented, and it suits cases that need stronger support or a longer span where zirconia may not be the safest choice. Compare zirconia and PFM crowns.
- Cobalt-chrome substructure printed by SLM, no casting.
- Layered porcelain over the printed metal.
- Turnaround up to 5 business days; rush service $50 per unit.
