The long-standing choice for porcelain work, and stiffer than titanium where you need span. Our powder runs 8.6 g/cm³ with 600 MPa yield strength and 365 HV10 hardness, rated by the manufacturer for spans up to 16 units, nickel and beryllium-free.
What we make
RPD frameworks
Major connector, rests, clasps and mesh retention printed as one piece: no soldering, no casting shrinkage to compensate for.
Case workflow
Four clear steps from scan to shipment.

Questions
What labs ask before their first case.
- What does the price include?
- Design and the resin model are included in every price. There is no separate design fee and no charge for the model.
- Do I have to approve the design first?
- Only if you want to. The form has a button for it: choose “send the design for my approval first” and nothing goes into production until you say so. Leave it off and we go straight to production.
- Cobalt-Chrome or titanium?
- Titanium alloy weighs roughly half what cobalt-chrome does at the same volume, and it is biocompatible and corrosion-resistant, which is why patients with metal sensitivities are usually put in titanium. Cobalt-chrome is the long-standing choice for porcelain work and comes in at 8.6 g/cm³ with 600 MPa yield strength, rated by the manufacturer for spans up to 16 units. Tell us the case and we will tell you which we would use. Precious metals (platinum and silver) we print on request: email us the case first.
- How fast can I get it?
- 6 business days as standard, 4 for $40. If you need it sooner than that, call us and we will tell you honestly whether it can be done.
