Chamlion Partners with GPAINNOVA to Accelerate the Digitization of Dental Industry

SHANGHAI, Oct. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On October 15th, Chamlion and global surface metal finishing expert GPAINNOVA signed a strategic cooperation agreement. Chamlion will become GPAINNOVA's exclusive dental strategic partner in China. The two companies will establish a joint venture in China to jointly research, develop, and promote metal dental product surface finishing technology. Representing both parties, Chamlion's CEO, Zhitao Wang, and GPAINNOVA's CEO and co-founder, 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 safe digital solutions, driving the digital transformation of the dental industry into the fast lane.

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

GPAINNOVA pioneered dry electropolishing technology (DryLyte Technology) with a world-wide 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 complex multi-step traditional process and replacing the labor-intensive polishing and grinding stages in traditional dental prosthesis manufacturing with a one-step polishing solution. Moreover, DLyte differs from traditional plasma polishing machines as it does not require a closed-loop water circulation system and sludge waste 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, AI intelligent design software, and complete post-processing equipment, achieving end-to-end digitalization of dental processes. This cooperation between Chamlion and GPAINNOVA aims to standardize and unify the polishing quality of metal dentures. 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 advancements to the dental industry.
