The Vhf E3 Dental Milling Machines – automate your workflow.
The Vhf E3 is simple to commission and operate, and fits seamlessly into your workflows. Our in-house developed TRIMCAM software automatically recognizes the trimline on which the occlusal appliance is milled out from the available planning data. So, you’ll get started right away.
Powerful 800 W 60,000 rpm spindle.
Quick and easy trimming of other occlusal appliances.
Full machining of aligners in under 60 seconds.
Maximum freedom of installation site as the machine requires no compressed air.
No tool change necessary with ONETOOL technology.
CAM software and easy operation with the integrated CAM software TRIMCAM, with no license fees.
True to the motto: unpack, connect, start milling!
Benefit from the machining of aligners in under 60 seconds. This saves you a lot of time compared to manual production – and on top of that you gain the high precision of CNC production.
The tool-free clamping system further simplifies your work processes. This quick workpiece change enables you to produce entire series of aligners quickly and easily.
With a machine weight of only 25 kg and no use of compressed air, the compact Vhf E3 offers maximum flexibility in terms of the installation site. Meticulous attention has been paid to the details: for example, no separate extraction system is required – thanks to the practical collection tray for chips.
100% developed and manufactured in Germany, the Vhf E3 impresses with its precise results and outstanding reliability – not only for aligners, but also for bite splints, grinding splints and other splints, including sports mouthguards. Despite its compact design, the interior of this machine contains only high-quality industrial components.
