Delcam Adds Abutment Module to DentMILL System
 BIRMINGHAM,
UK, July 24, 2008 - Delcam has added a new module for the manufacture of
abutments to its DentMILL knowledge-based machining system for the
manufacture of components for the dental industry. This will make it easy
for technicians with minimal manufacturing experience to produce abutments
using the latest computerised machining technology. Previous versions were
able to produce copings and bridges in ceramics and titanium. The new
release, DentMILL 4, also include five-axis machining options for the first
time, to allow the manufacture of more complex parts with more efficient use
of materials.
Delcam’s DentMILL provides automated machining of
abutments
As with the existing functionality in DentMILL, the new options are based
on Delcam’s PowerMILL CAM system, which is widely acknowledged to be a
leader in high-speed and five-axis machining. This allows the software to
offer a far wider range of proven machining strategies than is available in
other dental CAM programs. The new five-axis options are particularly
important for abutment manufacture as these components are difficult to
produce with three-axis machining.
This new functionality can reduce material wastage when producing copings
and bridges. Previously, all the components needed to be oriented within the
material block so that they could all be machined in a single direction.
With the five-axis approach, the components can each be rotated to minimise
the block thickness required, since the different pieces, or even different
areas within a single part, can be machined in different directions. This
means that a set of parts can be produced from a thinner block of material
so reducing material costs and machining times. Five-axis machining can also
be used to machine parts containing undercuts.
The DentMILL software is completely ‘open’ and so accepts data from any
dental design system or any scanner capable of exporting data in the STL
format used widely within the dental industry. Similarly, it can output
machining toolpaths to virtually any CNC machine. Most other dental CAM
programs are part of a ‘closed’ system that can only work with unique data
formats or specific machining equipment.
The software features a simple interface using icons that can be
recognized easily by dental technicians. The process is completely
automated, so no prior machining experience is required to produce
high-quality components.
