Top features
Vortex is Dental Machine’s milling machine for soft materials developed for dental labs that want to make the most of CAD-CAM technology with a high return on their investment. It is a user-friendly desktop CNC milling machine with 5 continuous interpolated axes.
500W high-frequency “air-free” electrospindle
The 100,000 rpm 500W electrospindle means that dental technicians do not have to buy a specific compressor.
Machinable materials
It can mill all soft materials such as wax, PMMA, pre-sintered cobalt-chrome and PEEK, as well as harder materials such as glass ceramics and composites.
Axis angle up to ±30°
Thanks to the spindle angle of up to ±30°, Vortex can carry out highly complex machining with high undercuts. The open “C” disc allows for 90° milling.
24 tools
24 tools with automatic changeover
featuring high-precision sensor measurement and verification technology.
Movement on 5 axes
Linear movement on 3 Cartesian axes with recirculating ground ballscrews driven by brushless motors with absolute encoders for continuous position control, while the 2 rotary axes use the same motors with low-backlash planetary gearboxes.
Wet milling
The machining of hard materials such as composites and glass ceramics requires lubrication; the machine has two filters and a collection tank with a closed circuit pump.
Dry milling
The machine has airtight protective bellows on all axes. The connection to the central vacuum system prevents dust from escaping into the room.

Optional upgrade
Upgrade to Vector,
be limitless
One of the hallmark features of Vortex is that it can be upgraded to a superior model called VECTOR. This upgrade offers the option of improving the machine’s functionality and performance, allowing users to mill solid chrome-cobalt or titanium implant structures so they can adapt to the lab’s new needs without having to buy a completely new milling machine.
