OpenCAD 2 Copings & Bridges

This program makes the basis within the OpenCAD Program family. It allows for all STL filed to be imported and processed. Using this program, the preparation margin is automatically found or manually determined. Already at this point it becomes obvious that the Laserdenta programmers have been putting great emphasis on simple operation but without lowering their sight on functionality. This is also true in regard to the definition of the direction of insertion – all the same or varying. According to the default of the data base, as the material chosen, cement gap, thickness of the copings, the operator will get the desired crowns and bridge links shaped and easily created by the program With numerous color-marked dragging points or virtual wax knives the basic shape and positioning might even be perfectly further improved. Connectors are automatically recommended and may be further individualized, too.

Of course, the output of the modelled work will again be available as “open” STL file.
