Delcam gets its teeth into new industry sector

Delcam has broadened its range of specialist machining software with the acquisition of the rights to the Dentmill program for the dental industry.

Dentmill was developed by Delcam’s Sales Partner in Sweden, Protech. It is already used by some large dental companies in Scandinavia and will now be available from Delcam’s international network of subsidiaries and resellers. Dentmill is a stand-alone program based on Delcam’s PowerMILL CAM system, which provides a knowledge-based machining process for caps, bridges and implant bridges in ceramics and titanium. The software can accept geometry from dental design software or from dental 3D scanners in most point cloud and triangulated data formats. “The use of CNC machining is growing rapidly in the dental industry,” commented Delcam’s managing director Hugh Humphreys. “Dentmill has already been proven to give excellent results in some large dental companies in Scandinavia and we are sure that the program will enjoy equal success with the dental industry in other regions.”
