WorkNC dental CAM package

Sescoi's WorkNC Dental Labs 'One button CAM' makes it easy to create precision toolpaths for complex prosthetic shapes, with automated 3-axis and 5-axis machining sequences.

Working from STL and native dental CAD formats, WorkNC DENTAL Labs is able to nest and orientate prosthetic implants, automatically insert support pins, apply automatic identification to the machining supports, and consider the shrinkage that takes place in the baking of high strength ceramic materials such as alumina and zirconia.

Machining wizards and customisable machining sequences automatically select tools and add toolpaths which have been specially designed to suit particular types of material, such as titanium and zirconia, and types of prosthesis, including copings and bridges.

In particular, WorkNC DENTAL Labs uses automatic 5-axis toolpaths which will enable shorter and more rigid tools to be used, and parts to be finished in one operation. The software's automatic collision avoidance technology considers the kinematics of the machine tool and automatically inserts extra flip movements to the cutter so it will reach every part of the workpiece.

WorkNC DENTAL Labs has been designed so that technicians can operate it with the minimum of training and without needing to be experts in machining technology.
