MEET THE VERSAMILL AX400
Don’t let the small footprint fool you. Constructed utilizing the technology found in “full-frame” CNC industrial machines, the Versamill AX400 is designed to perform reliably with high precision for the long term.
This purpose-built, Open Source 5-axis mill is designed to provide owners with maximum flexibility and versatility in a dental manufacturing system. The Versamill AX400 can accept input from popular dental design programs and process virtually any dental milling materials including wax, zirconia, acrylic, composites, glass-ceramics and others.
The strength and rigidity of the Versamill AX400 coupled with the undercut machining capability of full 5-Axis control provides superior surface finishes, faster cycle times and greater tool life while allowing you to machine virtually any material with the minimum amount of bench time.
Extreme Rigidity, Precision & Vibration-free Operation
Versamill features like heavy-duty aluminum-alloy frame, .5kW spindle, large diameter pre-loaded ballscrews, closed-loop drive system, linear guideways, zero stack tolerance rotary axes with heavy-duty gear reducers, and more enable you to quickly manufacture restorations with perfect fits and razor-sharp margins with the absolute minimum of profit-robbing, error-prone post-machining hand work.
Quality Construction = Reliability, Accuracy & Low Maintenance
High-quality features not typically found in competitive products assures dependable production of metal & soft material restorations of superior, quality for years to come.
The Basics
- 5-Axis dental milling center capable of 5-Axis simultaneous machining
including undercuts. - Closed-loop position control assures accuracy and eliminates frequent
machine calibrations. - Machine wide variety of materials - including: zirconia, glass-ceramics,
wax, Ultimate, titanium* & more. - Ideal for the production of bridges, copings, inlays, onlays
crowns, models, and more— even titanium abutments*. - Long tool life and superior surface finishes due to extreme stability and
minimum vibration. - Flexible universal fixturing for quick adaption to different materials and
restoration types. - Integrated HSM machine control.
- Open architecture design compatible with industry standard software for
easy integration into a complete manufacturing solution. - * Not recommended for continuous-duty machining of titanium abutments

The Benefits of Wet Milling Zirconia
Contrary to claims to the contrary, there are many benefits to wet-machining zirconia. These benefits extend beyond the added expense and noise associated with the required filtration and vacuum systems required for dry milling applications. These vacuum and filtration systems, while removing a large amount of the caustic zirconia dust generated by the machining process, do not remove all of the dust- the balance of which becomes air born in the lab or dental office environment and creeps into machine components thereby compromising or shortening their operational lives. Zirconia sludge (the mixture of zirconia and water) is by far easier to deal with than dry zirconia dust, does not infiltrate machine components and is significantly less destructive to machine components than caustic and abrasive dry zirconia swarf (by-products of the machining process). Users not only enjoy longer machine and tool life, lower operating expense, and reduced system maintenance, but also realize the benefits of highly detailed and lustrous post-sinter units, superior surface finishes and sharp margins without extensive margin reinforcement- “do-overs" due to chipped or blown out margins are very rare and if present, usually attributed to worn tooling. We recommend washing/cleaning out the machining area, of any mill, machining any material, be done daily as part of a preventative maintenance program. It does not take very long and is not difficult to do. Flushing with a water hose works well. Use of compressed air should be done carefully with low pressure, especially with "dry" machines that do not have adequate sealing of the machining enclosure. Do this and the machine will reward you with smooth operation and longer, care-free life.
