WorkNC®DENTAL Digital Prosthesis Manufacture at LMT Lab Day Chicago
WorkNC®DENTAL, Sescoi’s totally open, automatic dental CAD/CAM system will be on show at the LMT Lab Day in Chicago on February 27th. The specialist clinics and the exhibition, held in the Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers, will be an important opportunity for delegates to network with other dental professionals and hear about the latest developments within the industry.
WorkNC Dental is the automatic solution for the machining of dental prostheses, implants and structures that includes more than 70 state-of-the-art 3 to 5-axis toolpaths. Its optimized machining sequences result in significant set-up and production time-savings.
“Starting with scanned data manipulated in a dental CAD system such as Dental Wings®, 3 Shape® and others; WorkNC Dental has been designed so that technicians unfamiliar with CNC machining can reliably produce high quality dental elements on a range of machine-tools and in a variety of materials with very little instruction.”
Technicians start by nesting caps and bridges within the material blank to maximize its utilization, and then add location pins to support the prostheses during the machining operation. Machining wizards within WorkNC Dental automatically select the most appropriate tools and cutting methods for the selected material. Zirconia and titanium have different cutting characteristics, so the toolpaths, feeds and speeds generated by the system are all optimized to give the best possible results. Where appropriate, WorkNC Dental automatically generates 5-axis cutterpaths, ensuring that compound angled location holes and undercut conditions are completely and effectively machined with just one mouse click. The high quality of the part eliminates manual finishing and ensures proper fit.
