Cannot be changed. Any corrections require reimporting the object. |
|
Quality level |
The manufacturing quality predefined during import. For an explanation, see Quality level. |
|
Tools |
This allows you to control the use of optional tools on a per-object basis. The tools that are predefined are the ones you activated in the material settings for the current material or the parent group. Grayed-out tools are standard tools and cannot be deactivated. |

When you right-clicking on an object, dentalcam displays an object-specific context menu.

Machine models |
Cannot be changed. A correction requires the blank to be recreated. |
|
Extended milling range |
The extended milling range allows objects to be nested right up to the edge of the disc. This increases material utilization but reduces process reliability. |
|
