Delcam to Preview DentCAD at UK Dental Show
 BIRMINGHAM,
UK, Apr 28, 2008 - Delcam will preview DentCAD, a new computer-aided design
program for the dental industry, at the
Dental Technology Show to be held in Coventry on 9th and 10th May. On
its release later this year, DentCAD will bring to the industry the benefits
of speed and accuracy given by CAD software in many other sectors. It will
be able to be used for the fast, reliable creation of dental restorations,
including copings, crowns and bridge frameworks.
Delcam’s DentCAD for dental restorations
It is expected that many companies will want to use DentCAD alongside
Delcam’s DentMILL program for dental manufacturing. However, in keeping with
the company’s “open” approach to its software, DentCAD can be used with any
combination of scanner, machining software and computer-controlled machine
tool.
The key benefit of DentCAD is that is extremely easy to use and so is
ideally suited to dental technicians that have no previous experience of
computer-aided design. The whole process is based on a series of “Wizards”
that guide the user through the entire design process.
A wide range of visualization tools are available at every stage,
including sectioning, shading and transparency options that allow detailed
inspection of the shape being developed. This ensures that the results are
exactly as required by the patient.
The system is also very flexible, so allowing different design options to
be developed and compared. For example, key parameters like the margin line
and the cement thickness can be varied and the computer model will
automatically update to reflect the changes. In addition, sculpting tools
let the user add or subtract material interactively, while the dynamic
editing tools allow the complete model to be reshaped quickly and
effectively.
DentCAD offers levels of speed and accuracy that are impossible to
achieve with manual methods. Complete restorations can be designed within
minutes of importing the scanned data. The complete design can then be
supplied to DentMILL or another machining program for the manufacture of the
item.
