| The Advantages of the Open CAD/CAM System |
|
Increase your Profitability
As dental lab you are acting within a market which is characterized by increasing competition. Health reforms and cheap imports result – especially in high-wage countries like Germany, Austria and Switzerland – in economic situations becoming continually more difficult.
Therefore the central question comes up: How do I foster my competitive capacity? Thorough analysis indicates that in particular the production of dental restorations has to become more cost effective. The only solution is to increase the use of technical equipment: computer controlled systems are doing the routine work. The dental technicians are efficiently employed for the design of the dental restoration with CAND and for the creative finishing.
Open CAD/CAM Systems are the Future in Dental Labs
The advantages of the open STL data format enable the dental lab to combine different software programs as well as output equipment (milling devices for zircon-dioxide, synthetic material, metal alloys and titan, sintering laser devices, wax printer, rapid-prototyping devices.
Financial investment in an open scanner – as in the 5-axis- Laser Scanner OpenScan 100, can be the foundation for CAD/CAM system growing step by step.
Due to the trouble-free data exchange, collaboration with colleagues via networking becomes feasible.
Free Choice of the Material Supplier
The open system allows use of various materials of different suppliers. There are no obligations like with a closed system which clearly defines the scan, CAD and CAM. With purchase of materials at market prices alone, the marginal return pro work may be increased significantly.
In future, in addition to the hard- and software Laserdenta will also offer selected materials. The crucial points for selection are functionality, quality and cost effectiveness. It is important to know about the origin but it just plays a secondary part. Also in this field, Laserdenta will offer solely the best.
Laserdenta – The Pioneer for Open System Components
As developer and producer of the open 5-axis dental scanner, from the very beginning Laserdenta has propagandized the STL format according to the industrial standard and thus is offering one of the most advanced scanner within the dental market.
Laserdenta is the only manufacturer which now is developing and programming all components for an open CAD/CAM system independently in its own premises:
- 5-axis Dental Scanner OpenScan 100
- OpenCAD Copings & Bridges
- OpenCAD Full Anatomy
- OpenCAD Implants
- OpenMill 5-axis Milling Device including the CAM Modules
With this, Laserdenta offers the “system security” of one manufacturer and additionally the possibility to combine all components “freely” with other open systems, respectively to expand the system.
