  • Publication number: 20220151750
    Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically spraying a glaze solution onto a dental prosthesis are described. The automated spray glazing system includes: a first spray gun; a controller, and a gripper configured to hold the dental prosthesis and to rotate the dental prosthesis about an axis. The controller is configured to rotate the gripper and spray a glaze solution from the first spray gun using a glazing profile based at least in part on a type of the dental prosthesis. The glazing profile is selected such that a cross-sectional thickness of a resulting-glazed material of the dental prosthesis has an average thickness range between 15 to 63 ?m and a standard deviation of less than 6 ?m when measured at locations in an upper half of the dental prosthesis.

  • Publication number: 20190126306
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for automatically spraying a glaze solution onto a dental prosthesis. The automated spray glazing system includes: a first spray gun; a gripper configured to hold the dental prosthesis; and a controller, which is configured to automatically apply glaze onto the dental prosthesis using the first spray gun to produce a glazed dental prosthesis in a manner such that a cross-section of the glazed dental prosthesis has an average glaze thickness in a range between 15 to 63 ?m and a standard deviation of less than 3 ?m when thickness measurements are measured at locations in an upper half of the dental prosthesis.
