The manufacturing softwareClosed Term for the software package consisting of DentalCAM and DentalCNC. consists of the following components:

  • DentalCAMA CAM application for creating and calculating virtual blanks (“jobs”)
  • DentalCNCA CNC application for machining jobs and for maintaining the machine.

To create and design the dental objects you also need a CAD application (sold separately by specialist dealers).

You may want to read the overview of the workflow in DentalCAM and DentalCNC.
