Applying New Technologies: Delcam's CADCAM Suite

Delcam Dental Restoration CADCAM Suite combines the iMetric white-light scanner, DentSCAN software that communicates with the scanner hardware, DentMAN file management database, DentCAD design software that guides the user through the entire process, and DentMILL 3/4/5-axis CAM programming into a comprehensive open-architecture package. It is constructed with a modular approach to the process that manages the patients’ restorations from their first appointment to fitting. Using industry standard data formats enables easy model sharing and connectivity with other software as well as with hardware devices such as scanners and CNC machines.
