3diemme PlastyCAD 1.7

3diemme PlastyCAD 1.7

3diemme PlastyCAD  is a dental CAD software used to design patient-specific dental restorations from digital scans. It is part of 3diemme’s digital dentistry ecosystem, taking input from intraoral scanners or model scanners (STL files) and enabling the technician to digitally sculpt the morphology of crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and implant abutments. The designs are then exported for manufacturing via milling machines (subtractive) or 3D printers (additive). It often integrates with planning software like 3Diagnosys for guided surgery workflows.

🦷 Primary Users

3diemme PlastyCAD is a specialized CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software designed for Dental Technicians, Digital Dentistry Labs, Prosthodontists, and Dental Clinics with in-house milling/printing capabilities who design dental crowns, bridges, veneers, surgical guides, and other custom dental prosthetics and appliances.

✨ Key Features & Capabilities

• Intuitive Dental Library & Biogeneric Design: Features a library of tooth morphologies and “biogeneric” design tools that suggest anatomically correct tooth shapes based on adjacent and opposing teeth, speeding up the design process.

• Full-Arch & Multi-Unit Restoration Design: Tools for designing complex cases, including full-arch implant bridges, veneers, and telescopic prostheses.

• Implant Abutment & Surgical Guide Design: Capabilities to design custom implant abutments and surgical guides for guided implant surgery, often with direct import of implant planning data.

• Margin Line Editing & Preparation Analysis: Advanced tools for precisely defining the margin line on digital preparations and analyzing the preparation’s suitability (taper, undercuts).

• CAD/CAM & 3D Printing Export: Exports standard STL files compatible with virtually all dental milling machines (5-axis) and 3D printers (SLA, DLP) for production.

• Integration with 3diemme Ecosystem: Seamless workflow with 3diemme’s scanner software and 3Diagnosys for a complete digital patient journey from scan to final restoration.

🆕 What’s New in Version 1.7

This update focuses on enhanced automation, improved tools for complex cases, and better interoperability.

• Enhanced AI-Assisted Design Suggestions: Improved algorithms for automatic tooth shape suggestion and margin line detection, reducing manual intervention.

• Advanced Tools for Removable Prosthetics: Introduction or enhancement of tools for designing the frameworks for partial and complete dentures.

• Improved 3D Occlusion Analysis & Articulation: More accurate virtual articulation and dynamic occlusion checking against the antagonist scan.

• Streamlined User Interface & Workflow: Redesigned toolbar layouts and a more logical step-by-step workflow for common restoration types.

• Expanded Implant System Library: Updated library with more implant connections and components from major manufacturers.
