FIDENTIS is a startup aimed at changing dental manufacturing methods, incubated by the Fraunhofer IGCV Institute, which is one of the globally recognized leaders in metal multi-material additive manufacturing research.
FIDENTIS focuses on multi-material 3D printing solutions for denture design, combining laser powder bed fusion with robotic systems.
The company’s multi-material solution is based on the laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process, which can combine two or more alloys into a single component. With precise control from robotic arms, additional powder is deposited in the bed layer, perfectly synchronized with the manufacturing process. The company has also customized laser and scanning path parameters to ensure optimal fusion between materials, resulting in fully dense parts with high dimensional fidelity. The solution integrates a digital production chain for automatic post-processing of functional surfaces.
