Basic workflow
You find out the basic steps that are required in order to manufacture dental splints with trimcam here.
- Create the job A job contains all the data required for trimming one or more dental splints: 3D data, base and trim parameters, calculated milling path, etc.
- Import the dental arch models from your CAD application You create the 3D data for the dental arch model with an external CAD application.
- Adjust the machining parameters trimcam recognizes the trim line of the dental arch models and automatically calculates the optimum machining strategy and all details of the job. You enter the required parameter for this, e.g., the distance of the trim line from the gingival margin or the trim at the posterior molars.
- Export the job trimcam exports the calculated job data for further processing in dentalcnc.
- Print the 3D model trimcam saves the STL file for the 3D printout of the dental arch model when exporting the job.
- Thermoform the protective foil Use the printed dental arch model to thermoform the protective foil.
- Mill the job Prepare the machine and start machining with dentalcnc.
