exocad launches DentalCAD 3.1 Rijeka

Exocad announced the release of DentalCAD 3.1 Rijeka, a next generation CAD software for labs and full-service clinics. The new release is said to save on design time while offering more intuitive workflows from CAD to CAM.

The DentalCAD 3.1 Rijeka Software is said to include 45 brand new and 85 enhanced features.

One of the main add-on module is exocad’s Smile Creator. New features include more visualization options – such as improved colour adjustment for more realistic preview images – and a new slider-based before-and-after view. These features are said to allow easier collaboration between labs and dentists

To enhance communication between dentists and labs, the new “Smile Design” PDF report provides documentation of the aesthetic planning process. The new “Smile Window” offers instant in-face visualization throughout the CAD workflow. This feature also lets users see the result of the design within the patient photo in real time.

“DentalCAD 3.1 Rijeka is the result of our countless conversations with customers and the dedicated research of our software developers,” said Tillmann Steinbrecher, CEO exocad.

“I’m excited about the broad scope of new features and improvements that brings more speed and smoother workflows, from treatment planning to design and manufacturing.”

In terms of efficiency, DentalCAD 3.1 Rijeka allows users the option to reuse custom tooth setups for multiple indications along the patient case journey. The same shape and setup can be used for a mock-up model, a clip-on smile, a temporary restoration, and the final work.

The latest exocad software also speeds up the design of both single-unit restorations and complex, upper and lower restorations. Articulator movements can now be recalculated and visualized on the fly.

In addition, DentalCAD 3.1 Rijeka has expanded the functionality of Instant Anatomic Morphing – which enables faster design of single-unit restorations with fewer clicks. When a pre-op scan is available, users can take advantage of a highly automated generation of crowns. The previous anatomy copies automatically, making it faster and easier to preserve function and anatomical shape for the patient.

The Model Creator module introduces new “Quick Models” for highly automated model creation, to further save time and minimize the need for user interaction during model design.

For smoother integration with lab equipment, the Virtual Articulator module provides an accurate simulation of more realistic, physical articulators. In this release, exocad has added more devices, including the popular Ivoclar and SAM articulators.

New features have also been added to exocam, exocad’s integrated CAM solution for milling machines. For 3D printing, exoprint now integrates with many additional devices, enabling direct production workflow integration from exocad with more than 40 3D printers, including those of the most popular manufacturers.

DentalCAD 3.1 Rijeka is an essential part of the Align Digital Platform, an integrated suite of proprietary technologies and services delivered as seamless end-to-end solution to customers.

The new Rijeka release is available at no extra charge to all exocad customers with a valid upgrade contract. Exocad customers with a permanent licence without an upgrade contact must purchase one in order to use the new release. Click here for more information on DentalCAD 3.1 Rijeka from exocad.
