CAD / CAM: innovation and efficiency for dental laboratories
CAD systems are used to create precise digital designs and models and are the perfect solution for dental laboratories that prioritise efficiency and quality. In dental technology, they are used to virtually design dental prostheses such as crowns, bridges, implants or bite splints. By using modern 3D technologies, designs can be realistically visualised and individually adapted to the patient's needs. The user-friendly interfaces of modern CAD software such as exocad DentalCAD also make it easy for beginners to get started and enable a high degree of flexibility in design.
CAM systems take the finished design from the CAD software and convert it into machine-readable instructions that control the manufacturing process. They optimise the data for CNC milling machines or 3D printers and ensure precise, efficient and automated production processes. Programmes such as MillBox offer intuitive user interfaces and functions that reduce material waste and deliver consistently high-quality results.

Precise modelling with CAD software: the digital workflow
Creating models with CAD software is a precise and efficient process. Firstly, digital scan data, for example from an intraoral scan, is imported into the software. Using ready-made templates, dental technicians can customise models such as crowns, bridges or implants. Intuitive tools make it easy to define the shape, size and anatomical details. A simulation allows the accuracy of fit and function to be checked virtually and optimised if necessary. Finally, the finished design is exported and prepared for production using CAM software or a 3D printer. This digital workflow ensures precise results and efficient realisation.

Mit dem 3D-Drucker sind wir nun in der Lage, aus den Abformdaten selbst ein physisches Modell herzustellen, das alle unsere Ansprüche erfüllt: zeichnungsscharf und dimensionstreu. Wir arbeiten seit Jahren mit der 3Shape-Software und mussten die gewohnten Prozesse für den Einsatz des 3D-Druckers nicht verändern. Der Anwender ist mit einem 3D-Drucker von dentona nicht auf ein System festgelegt. Die zum Drucker mitgelieferte Slicing-Software liest jede STL-Datei. Somit kann die additive Fertigung problemlos in den Prozess eingebunden werden.
CAD CAM software: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What are CAD and CAM and how are they used in dental technology?
CAD (Computer-Aided Design): CAD is a technology that enables digital designs and models. In dental technology, CAD is used to create precise designs for dental restorations such as crowns, bridges or implants. It offers tools for visualisation, adaptation and optimisation that ensure individual design and maximum precision.
CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing):CAM is the computer-aided manufacturing process in which digital CAD designs are converted into machine-readable instructions. These control devices such as CNC milling machines or 3D printers. In dental technology, CAM ensures the automated, efficient and precise production of dental prostheses and other dental products.
How do you use CAD / CAM systems in existing workflows?
CAD / CAM systems can be seamlessly integrated into existing processes by importing scan data from intraoral or laboratory scanners directly into the CAD software. After design, the CAM software takes over the data and controls the production machines such as milling centres or 3D printers.
Which materials can be processed with CAD/CAM systems?
CAD/CAM systems support a wide range of materials, including ceramics, metals, plastics and resins. This variety enables the production of dentures, splints, implants and other dental products.
How do you choose the right CAD/CAM software for your dental laboratory?
Choosing the right software depends on the requirements of the laboratory. Factors such as user-friendliness, compatibility with existing equipment, supported materials and the required range of functions should be taken into account. An individual consultation can help with the decision.
