Dental CAD Software 1 article

Dental CAD software is used to create and modify digital designs for restorations and prosthetic components from scan data. Functions can include crown and bridge modeling, implant prosthetics, virtual wax-ups, digital dentures, removable frameworks and preparation of geometry for manufacturing. The application sits between data acquisition and CAM production, where the approved design is converted into a file for milling, printing or another fabrication process. It is design software rather than the machining software that calculates toolpaths.
