Scanner integration

Thanks to partnerships with leading dental scanner manufacturers, DentalCAD and ChairsideCAD from exocad are the basis for CAD/CAM systems with smoothly integrated workflow – while still leaving the freedom of choice between many different 3D scanners.

From inexpensive laser scanners to high precision devices using structured light, conoscopic holography, or tactile technology: You are free to choose what is best for your budget and your accuracy requirements.

Please note: The list is regularly reviewed and updated. However, the list does not claim to be exhaustive. Any other intra-oral or desktop scanner that writes open STL file formats can be used with DentalCAD and ChairsideCAD to design crowns and bridges.

* Integration using exoscan®. exoscan® provides 100% seamless integration between scanning and CAD. Scanning and designing is performed in the same application.

** Integration 3M®/Steinbichler®, and Nobel Biocare/Renishaw® using exoscan®. Specifically, dental labs who own expensive CAD/CAM systems linked to “closed” scanners such as 3M Lava STI and STII (Steinbichler), and the Nobel Procera Forte (Renishaw), can upgrade to an exocad-based system for only the cost of software. The Steinbichler and Renishaw exoscan drivers were developed in partnership with the respective manufacturers. exoscan provides 100% seamless integration between scanning and CAD.
