Patent number: 11225021Abstract: In a stereolithography apparatus a material provision device for print material (16) to be cured, in particular a photopolymer, is provided. The material provision device (10) receives a material cartridge (12) which in turn receives the print material (16) and surrounds it on all sides. The material cartridge (12) may be connected to an outlet valve unit (20) in a liquid-proof manner via which the print material (16) may be output and which is received at least partially in the material provision device (10) and which is supported at least partially thereon or therein or sealed against it. The outlet valve unit (20) comprises a valve (100) which is opened and closed depending on the relative position, in particular the swiveling position, of material provision device (10) and stereolithography apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2019Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: Ivoclar Vivadent AGInventors: Walter Pokorny, Jörg Ebert, Johannes Lorünser

Patent number: 10260811Abstract: The invention relates to a dental furnace wherein a firing chamber is heated up in a first heating-up period at a first heating-up rate of more than 501 K/min, in particular more than 1001 K/min, which heats the furnace to at least 10001 C., in particular to 1100-12501 C. The first heating-up period is followed by an intermediate heating period, which is at least five minutes long, in particular at least ten minutes long, the gradient or heating-up rate of which is adapted to the material to be sintered in the dental furnace (10), and wherein this is followed by an end heating-up period (44) during which heating up is effected at a heating-up rate of more than 301 K/min, in particular approximately 501 K/min, and wherein during this the furnace temperature is held for at least five minutes, in particular for at least 25 minutes, above the temperature toward the end of the first heating-up period, and wherein forced cooling of the furnace (10) is performed after this.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2016Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Ivoclar Vivadent AGInventors: Gottfried Rohner, Walter Pokorny, Robert Grunenfelder, Frank Rothbrust
