Dental CAM Software 1 article

Dental CAM software translates an approved digital design into manufacturing instructions for milling or other machine-controlled production. It can calculate toolpaths, select machining strategies, arrange restorations within blanks, manage burs and parameters, and export jobs to compatible equipment. The software therefore operates after CAD design and before or during physical fabrication. Its role is production control and machine preparation, which distinguishes it from dental CAD applications used to create the restoration's clinical geometry.
