Challenges
Emilia-Romagna has more to offer than just fast cars and great food. In recent years, the region in the south of northern Italy has grown into the European hub for education and research in the information and communication, agriculture and food sectors as well as for Industry 4.0 and medical technology. With its headquarters located just a stone's throw from Bologna airport, New Ancorvis is one of the ambitious pioneers in the dental industry. Established in the 1940s, New Ancorvis specializes in milling and 3D printing technology using cad-cam technology to produce prosthetic components for the dental industry, including crowns, bridges, screwed-in attachments and surgical structures, from drilling templates to meshes. Everything that leaves the company's production halls is high-precision and rarely run of the mill: "We've never made it our goal to produce mass goods", explains Fabio Cocchi, Export Manager at New Ancorvis. "Our passion has always lied in jobs that challenge us. Customization is our main focus."
Over the years, the company has developed from its origins as an expert in milling technology for the dental industry into an innovative production company that focuses on innovative, progressive solutions. The next logical step in this evolution was expanding production to include 3D printing technology. "3D printing trumps milling in numerous applications. Particularly in highly customized fields like prosthesis and implants", explains Fabio Cocchi. "We firmly believe that 3D printing has a role to play in the future of dentistry."
