Chamlion partners with GPAINNOVA to accelerate the digitalization of the dental industry

SHANGHAI, October 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Active October 15, Chamlion and global metal surface finishing expert GPAINNOVA sign a strategic cooperation agreement. Chamlion will become GPAINNOVA’s exclusive strategic dental partner in China. The two companies will create a joint venture in China to jointly research, develop and promote the surface finishing technology of metal dental products. Representing both parties, Chamlion CEO, Zhitao Wang, and CEO and co-founder of GPAINNOVA, Pau Sarsanedas, signed the agreement. This collaboration will leverage the technical and resource advantages of both companies to provide the dental industry with more efficient, reliable and secure digital solutions, putting the digital transformation of the dental industry in the fast lane.

In the production of dental prostheses, polishing is a crucial step that directly affects the comfort of the user. The traditional manufacturing of dental prostheses is based on manual polishing, which is not only inefficient, but also has drawbacks such as incomplete polishing and health risks associated with the dust generated. High-quality polishing is highly dependent on skilled technicians, and it takes several years to train a mature manual technician, incurring high costs of time and labor.

GPAINNOVA pioneered dry electropolishing technology (DryLyte Technology) with a worldwide patent, which can reach areas that are inaccessible by mechanical or manual means. It represents a revolutionary solution for surface finishing in the dental industry. DryLyte technology enables full automation, simplifying the traditional complex multi-step process and replacing the intensive polishing and grinding steps in traditional denture manufacturing with a one-step polishing solution. Additionally, DLyte differs from traditional plasma polishing machines as it does not require a closed-loop water circulation system and sludge disposal machinery, saving space, labor costs and being more environmentally friendly.

Chamlion has a strong presence in the dental field, with in-house research and development of specialized dental 3D printers, intelligent AI design software and complete post-processing equipment, achieving end-to-end digitization of dental processes. This collaboration between Chamlion and GPAINNOVA aims to standardize and unify the quality of polishing metal prostheses. In 2023, as GPAINNOVA celebrates its tenth anniversary, this powerful collaboration is expected to drive a wave of innovation in digital dentistry, bringing revolutionary technological advances to the dental industry.
