  • Patent number: 12179287
    Abstract: A method for the material-removing machining of a workpiece by laser beam pulses. The laser beam pulses are directed to impact points on the surface of a volume to be removed of the workpiece in order to cut away material from the volume to be removed. Cutting away the volume to be removed results in a new contour surface to be produced on the workpiece. An impact angle of the laser beam pulses relative to the contour surface to be produced is set in accordance with a predefined condition during the removal of at least part of the volume to be removed that directly adjoins the contour surface to be produced. According to this condition, the impact angle is the same as a threshold angle (as), or somewhat smaller.

  • Patent number: 11229506
    Abstract: A dental prosthesis system includes at least one first and second dental prosthetic care part (1, 2) made of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2). Each of the two care parts has corner radii (R1, R11, R2, R22, R3, R26, R12, R13), and the corner radii (R1, R11, R2, R22, R3, R26, R12, R13) correspond to one another, wherein the first care part (1) is operatively connected to the second care part (2). At least one of the corner radii (R1, R11, R2, R22, R3) of the first dental prosthetic care part and/or the second dental prosthetic care part (R26, R12, R13) has a value of less than 0.1 mm, and the at least one corner radius (R1, R11, R2, R22, R3, R26, R12, R13) is produced by a material removal process using a laser method and/or by a machining process using a drill or a milling cutter made of full diamond.

According to this condition, the impact angle is the same as a threshold angle (as), or somewhat smaller. The threshold angle corresponds to the impact angle at which an effective laser energy density at the impact point of the laser beam pulses on the contour surface to be produced is equal to a threshold fluence.

  • Patent number: 10695869
    Abstract: A process to produce a workpiece surface or a groove inner surface on a rod-shaped, especially cylindrical workpiece. From the workpiece, a rotary tool is supposed to be produced. The material removal is done using laser beam pulses, which are directed through a deflection device onto points of incidence within a pulse area with a specified outside contour on the workpiece. Multiple machine axis drives position the workpiece and the deflection device relative to one another so that the pulse area is oriented essentially at right angles to the emission direction of the laser beam pulses and at right angles to the section of the tool surface that has already been produced and that borders the pulse area. While the material is being removed, the at least one machine axis drive moves the pulse area relative to the workpiece along a specified path of motion while maintaining the orientation.
