Alloy dental material Mediloy® RPD

metalCoCrcobalt-chromium

Short description
Mediloy® RPD is a cobalt-chrome non-precious alloy powder developed for additive manufacturing (selective laser melting) of partial denture frameworks.

Product properties

• Based on BEGO's proven partial denture casting alloys, adapted for additive manufacturing to ensure product safety
• Meets the US standard ASTM F-75 for surgical implants
• SLM-produced frameworks exhibit a virtually pore-free microstructure
• Heat treatment tailored to the alloy supports precision fit
• Downstream processing and final polishing are comparable to conventional frameworks, enabling smooth, high-gloss surfaces
• Laser melting production offers cost-effectiveness combined with high design freedom

Benefits for you

• High patient safety by applying decades of alloy experience to additive manufacturing powders
• Material properties optimised for framework performance due to development specifically for additive production
• Reproducible production thanks to homogeneous particle shape and distribution
• Excellent flowability during processing due to spherical particle geometry
• Legal and laboratory security provided by classification as a Class IIa medical device
• Very good fit even in complex cases ensured by the adjusted heat treatment
• Optimal clasp activation enabled by high ductility of the material
• High fatigue strength resulting from a homogeneous, pore-free structure
• Economic efficiency through digital CAD design and CAM production
