DWX-42W
Frequently Asked Questions
Milling burs (ZGB series tools) can be used with the DWX-42W when milling specific glass type material (like Amber) or when seeking to mill units quickly. To use ZGB tools with the DWX-42W, you will need access to compatible CAM software such as MillBox or HyperDENT.
We recommend using purified or distilled water when filling the coolant tank.
We recommend using the proper ratio of chelate reagent and coolant additive when filling the coolant tank. The chelate reagent keeps milled waste from bonding to the inside of the device. The coolant additive helps keep the tools cool during milling. Milling without adding these compounds will reduce the performance of the device.
Filters should be replaced after every 20 hours of use. For users working with a non-standard filter, please consult your reseller or review your filter’s user instructions.
The Abutment Kit and Abutment Kit Attachments are sold separately.
A dedicated air compression unit is not necessary for the DWX-42W. This device requires minimal compressed air to operate and can be connected to your existing compressor. If you do not currently have access to compressed air, you will need to purchase a compressor.
CAM software may be included based on your region. Consult with your DGSHAPE reseller.
The Abutment kit offers a specialized set of milling tools for titanium milling. Tools should be placed in the Automatic Tool Changer according to the tool setup profile in your CAM software.
Currently, Trios Design Studio allows milling one unit at a time.
The DWX-42W is compatible with any workflow that exports NC code milling data. Intra-oral scanning device users should verify that their milled output file (CAM file) is compatible.
Depending on the material selected, sintering or crystallization may be required after the dental restoration is milled. For material that can be finished by polishing only, crystallization is not necessary.
The DWX-42W is compatible with sintered zirconia material (requiring a unique setup), however it is not compatible with general zirconia. DGSHAPE’s DWX-52D, DWX-52DCi, and DWX-4 milling devices are excellent options for general zirconia milling.
The DWX-42W mills glass ceramic, composite resin, PMMA, titanium, and sintered zirconia materials.
