Materials & Dental Restorations
The Honchon Smile is built for dry machining and supports a wide range of dental materials and restoration types:
Unlike machines that offer a limited 4-axis or 3+2 configuration, the Honchon Smile HCE-M5X features true 5-axis simultaneous milling. This advanced capability allows for more complex toolpaths, enabling the production of restorations with undercuts, large-span bridges, and intricate anatomical details with greater stability and accuracy. The large B-axis rotation — from +35° to -91° — allows the processing of large-angle implants and other challenging geometries that narrower-range machines cannot reach.
90° Vertical Milling
One of the standout features of this 5-axis milling machine is its support for 90° vertical milling. This is a significant advantage for anterior restorations, where natural tooth morphology and fine surface texture are critical for achieving a lifelike aesthetic. The ability to mill vertically allows technicians to capture more delicate details directly from the digital design.
90-degree Vertical Milling: Perfect for anterior teeth, creating fine textures and better esthetics
Breakpoint Continuation
Unexpected interruptions, such as power outages, can be a major source of frustration and material waste. The Honchon Smile is equipped with an intelligent memory system that supports resuming machining from the exact point it stopped. This feature ensures that a single disruption doesn’t ruin a restoration, saving time, material, and reducing the need to restart the milling process from scratch.
Resume When Interrupted: Auto-resume to avoid waste and improve efficiency.
20% Increased Material Utilisation
Thanks to its C-Clamp Adapter, the Honchon Smile increases material utilisation by up to 20% compared to standard clamping systems — meaning more restorations from every disc of zirconia, PEEK, or PMMA, and a measurable reduction in your per-unit material cost over time.

High-Speed Processing
In a busy lab, speed is directly linked to productivity. The Honchon Smile HCE-M5X delivers impressive processing times, combined with the machine’s stability, making it a powerful tool for increasing daily output.
Large B Axis Rotation +35° to -91°, allows processing of large-angle implants
Typical processing times: A single crown mills in approximately 12 minutes; a three-unit bridge takes around 30 minutes.
Large Capacity Tool Magazine
Efficiency is further enhanced by the 10-slot automatic tool changer. The HCE-M5X machine comes standard with 7 burs, with 4 dedicated to zirconia and 3 for PMMA, which can also be used for wax. This setup allows the machine to handle different materials and stages of milling automatically, minimising manual intervention and maximising continuous operation.
