Schaan, Liechtenstein – 6 October 2026
With the new PrograMill® Dry, Ivoclar is launching a 5-axis dry milling machine designed to make digital production simple, fast and efficient. Compared with its predecessor, the newly developed milling machine reduces processing times for zirconium oxide and PMMA by up to 20 percent. Users benefit from seamless workflows, minimal cleaning effort, an intuitive user interface and an extra-large front door providing easy access to the spacious milling chamber. Compact yet powerful, the PrograMill Dry offers maximum performance without taking up valuable laboratory space.
Dental laboratories are facing increasing pressure on their resources: skilled staff are in short supply, time for training is limited and space is often at a premium. This increases the need for solutions that simplify processes, are intuitive to use and enable seamless workflows. Developed by dental technicians for dental technicians, the new PrograMill® Dry addresses these needs and provides an easy entry point into digital fabrication.
Smart by design: the Masterpiece in Milling Excellence
Every aspect of PrograMill Dry has been designed to support seamless workflows and intuitive operation. Easy-to-navigate user interfaces, plug-and-play installation and step-by-step guidance for carrying out in-house repairs help dental laboratories work more independently and save valuable time. Delivering maximum performance in a compact footprint, the new PrograMill Dry demonstrates just how easy milling can be.
PrograMill Dry is a true space-saving solution with a compact footprint that fits easily into laboratories with limited space. At the same time, its extra-large door provides excellent visibility and easy access to the spacious milling chamber, simplifying everyday operation and maintenance. Ease of use is further enhanced by the integrated 9.2-inch touchscreen, which provides intuitive, step-by-step guidance throughout the milling process. Even users with no previous experience can get started with digital fabrication workflows quickly and easily.

Together, the rounded milling chamber, integrated ionizer and new Jet-Stream extraction system significantly reduce the cleaning effort. Maintenance and repairs are designed for greater flexibility: Integrated video instructions provide step-by-step guidance on routine maintenance tasks that can be carried out directly in the dental laboratory. This helps reduce downtime and extends the service life of the machine.
