DOF is a developer and manufacturer of digital solutions that specifically caters to developing intuitive yet innovative products for the dental market. The company’s mission is to provide the leading open-architecture solutions to the dental industry, which in turn allows the user to have full control and the capability to process even the most complex cases with ease. With the development of each DOF product, every idea and concept is created for the final user and what the user needs in order to increase productivity, efficiency, and accuracy.
The DOF product line includes the DOF Freedom HD Scanner, the DOF Swing Scanner, and the new DOF Sharp 5-Axis Milling Machine. As a developer of new technology, DOF created advancements such as the patented Stable Scan Stage method to allow the user to scan dental models without the use of Blu-tack or fixtures. Because the specialties of each individual reseller differ, DOF also provides customized software solutions and workflows based on each reseller’s needs.
With its constant growth and sales extending globally, DOF is establishing branch offices beyond its headquarters in Seoul, Korea. The newest addition is DOF USA, which will be based in California. The specific location will be announced by January 2016.
With the new US office in place, a stock of all accessories, replacement parts, and equipment will be available for the speedy receipt of all DOF products. A line of domestic support will also be provided at the new US location. In the near future, DOF USA plans to manufacture DOF equipment in the US.
Josh Townsend will lead DOF USA as the Director of U.S. Sales and will be the official contact for inquiries on DOF equipment, US dealerships, and domestic support for DOF dealers and end users. With the boom of CAD/CAM technology in the dental industry, Townsend has developed an extensive knowledge base and has aided in developing and integrating digital solutions for laboratories and dental offices. He has significant experience in the digital dental industry, including developing and holding patents, implementation of CAD/CAM equipment and workflow for the military, and research and developent on 3D optical scanning technology.
DOF knows that support is an essential need when purchasing any CAD/CAM equipment. Now, 24-hour support will be available as multiple DOF locations will have the ability to work with customer issues in any time zone.
