“TrimExpert™ is a modular solution designed to operate within existing workflows and meet any production requirements. It’s the first of its kind to offer a modular and scalable solution for the trimming of all dental appliances,” said Axsys CEO and President, Steve Braykovich.

Designed to work within any budget, dentists and dental labs can choose their desired level of automation and expand their capabilities as their businesses grow and production requirements or processes change. There are no additional on-going "aligner fees" or "licensing fees" to decrease profitability.

TrimExpert is designed to work within existing production workflows. Modular software components provide trim line definition, machine code calculation, verification, part identification and more. Its modularity minimizes costs as well as production disruptment.

"Our extensive experience in automating these types of processes in the automotive and aircraft industries allowed us to develop this game-changing trimming solution with no significant design, technological, fabrication, installation, or operational challenges," explained Braykovich. Axsys has been a manufacturing solution provider for over 25 years and has served a variety of industries from aerospace to dental. They have manufactured everything from aircraft and automotive parts to crowns, bridges, bars and dentures.

Axsys also offers a fully-automated solution with a simple robot which can service multiple machines, thereby eliminating manual case identification, loading and unloading, and operation initiation.

To further facilitate the process, Axsys fabricated a fixture for the thermoformer and their milling machine that assures easy loading as well as positional accuracy.
The final deliverable can be customized to fit a lab or doctor's needs as well as their IT infrastructure and desired level of automation at the various stages of the design and fabrication processes. The system is scalable and automation "components" can be added incrementally as needs arise.

The TrimExpert will be showcased at both the Midwinter and Lab Day events in Chicago, IL between February 20-22. For more information visit trimexpert.com.

So a suck down model can be put in this unit and then it can determine trim lines or does it side load off of digital design software output like 3Shape?

very basically each suckdown model series is designed in 3shape from a very specific set of data, and an 3rd party software we provide creates the model alignment on the plate (and at the same time creates toolpaths for each model),you perform the suckdown process, and then load them for the robot in a custom carousel and the robot loads the models sequentially, and cuts them according to their toolpath.

its loads more complicated than that, but that's the basics.
