A versatile milling system for multiple indications, the Motion 3 can mill either wet or dry, and offers reliability, precision, and speed
When asked to implement a fully digitized workflow for the up-scale dental practice of Michael Apa, DDS, who maintains offices in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Dubai, Allan Vicentini knew he needed a system that carried its weight in performance. And he quickly got to work.
“I had to choose a system that could deliver consistently at a high production level,” shared Vicentini, a digital dentistry specialist at Apa Aesthetics. “Especially for a high-end practice that sees VIP patients, there is no room for mistakes.”
It was for that reason Vicentini chose Amann Girrbach’s Ceramill Motion 3 milling machine, a user-friendly, 5-axis hybrid unit with a convenient combination of both wet and dry processing modes in a single machine.
“Having worked with Amann Girrbach for over a decade, I’ve witnessed firsthand the evolution of the technology. These machines are built to last, offering reliability, versatility, and production consistency across different locations. It’s not just a milling machine—it’s a system I can trust to deliver excellence every time.”
Puts the ‘V’ in Versatile
With an interchangeable holder system, the versatile Motion 3 mills everything from single block same-day restorations to full-arch hybrid solutions. With a super-high-frequency spindle that runs at 100,000 rpm and a 6-fold tool changer that manages replacement tools, Motion 3 supports a range of materials, including polymers, metal, ceramic, hybrids, and zirconia.
“For a clinic with an in-house lab, having a machine that consistently delivers is crucial,” Vicentini shared. “Whether we need a lithium silicate restoration with a fast turnaround, a titanium abutment, a full-arch zirconia frame, or a simple PMMA bridge, we can count on the Motion 3.”
24/7 System Monitoring
Ceramill Motion 3 has a rede-signed door mechanism for better accessibility, a built-in feedback system that communicates di-agnostic information to the help desk, and an advanced network of sensors and checkpoints that monitor the system to detect errors before they occur. “
There’s also an automatic tool lifespan tracking feature that pre-vents tool wear and mismanagement and also ensures the correct tools are properly calibrated,” Vicentini added. “For labs and clinics looking for a mill that balances precision, efficiency, and reliability, the Motion 3 is undoubtedly among the top choices.”
