Dental research equipment
Chewing Simulator
A multi-axis dental test rig combining controlled force, lateral movement, thermal cycling, embedded control, and logged test cycles.
ENGINEERING CASE STUDY
From a real constraint to a working system.
MARS-Z works across disciplines so the mechanics, electronics, controls, software, and manufacturing decisions support one another from the start.
Explore the CAD model ↗THE CHALLENGE
Researchers needed a custom machine capable of reproducing chewing loads and environmental cycles without importing a specialized and difficult-to-service test rig.
WHAT WE BUILT
MARS-Z developed the multi-axis mechanism, controlled loading, lateral motion, thermal cycling, embedded control, operator interface, and cycle logging.
PROOF + IMPACT
The machine supported a 250,000-cycle study and remained useful in operation for two years, demonstrating durable performance in a real research workflow.
