CAD/CAM materials
CrCo
Cobalt-chrome (CrCo) is a metal alloy widely used in the production of prosthetic structures, such as metal-ceramic crowns and implant bars. In the CAD/CAM workflow, it stands out for its strength and stability, being primarily used in laboratories. It is associated with ceramic application (layering).
Using CrCo in the digital workflow requires integration between scanning, design, and milling or casting. As a rigid material, it requires robust equipment or indirect processes. The choice of workflow directly impacts cost, control, and production capacity.
