| Since
1998, all Nobil Metal manufacturing is administered
and monitored in accordance with recognised standards
and all materials bear CE marking (to date: UNI EN
ISO 9001:2000 and UNI CEI ISO 13845:2002)
Today, on the international stage, NM exports to over
60 countries throughout the world. |
 |
| In
order to guarantee the continued maximum reliability
of Nobil Metal manufacturing, the R&D staff make
use of the following facilities |
• Spectrophotometer
• Dynamometer
• Thermal analysis - DTA
• Granulometer
• Scanning electron microscope (SEM)
• Atomic force microscope (AFM)
• Metallographic
microscope
• Microdurometer
• Biology laboratory
• Atomic
absorption spectrophotometer
• Infrared
spectrophotometer
• XPS (Surface Spectroscopy analysis) |
|
The
R&D division is the research,
monitoring and development laboratory that NOBIL METAL
have created in order to guarantee the scientific
and technological foundation necessary to be able
to face the demands of a specific sector undergoing
constant development, such as dental materials.

Controlled-atmosphere
induction continuous casting machines are used for alloy
manufacture (thus avoiding any contamination of the
material).
In practice, the chamber containing crucible/mould assembly
is under forced vacuum: this rarefied atmosphere is
consequently saturated with deoxidising gas, and the
entire alloying, casting, moulding and cooling cycle
occurs in the complete absence of oxygen.
Technology combined with experience have made it possible
to develop the STRIP-CAST system, thanks to which it
is possible to obtain casts in their definitive shapes
such as wires, sheets, bars and shapes, all with perfect
surfaces, drastic reductions in work times, with essentially
no waste and obviously the possibility of endless casting:
this material is no longer subjected to the numerous
rolling steps, but is ready for the customer in just
a few steps, with the manufacturing quality absolutely
guaranteed .
Along with “classic” manufacturing, for some years now
Nobil Metal have been investing heavily in the production
of powdered metals, and since the end of the 1980s have
been pursuing the objective of making the raw materials
for manufacturing sintered prosthetic devices. This
foresightedness means they are now in the vanguard,
with special atomisers for transforming alloy ingots
into perfectly spherical, deoxidised microparticles,
5-40 microns in diameter.
Nowadays, the new manufacturing divisions use SLS (selective
laser sintering) machines, capable of manufacturing
hundreds of prosthetic devices in a few hours using,
precisely, the same powders manufactured by the company.
Rapid Prototyping and stereolithography machines, manufacturing
burnout resin or plastic parts, are based on similar
technology. The company’s new manufacturing facility
can provide total support for even the most demanding
laboratory: with a simple mouse click, an STL (solid
to layer) file can be sent, and the prosthetic devices
made using CE materials received a few days later, along
with the appropriate certification.
5 years of research and testing have converged into
an ambitious programme: Sinergia |
| Every
batch, ingot, wire, solder, attachment or prosthetic
device is checked, analysed and certified by skilled
expert staff, fully capable of handling such innovative
CNC
machines. |
| The
ability to rely on such advanced technology is surely
a guarantee of quality and security for all Nobil Metal
customers. |
