A CAD (computer aided design) analysis software package (CADVIEW) was designed for use with prosthetic and orthotic CAD CAM (computer aided design/computer aided manufacture) systems. Using the Microsoft Windows 3.1 environment, CADVIEW provides a series of anatomical shape viewing and analysis tools. These tools include simultaneous display of multiple sockets and multiple views, two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) measurement, shape statistics, multi-shape alignment, cross-sectional comparison, colour coded 3D comparison, resolution enhancement, and image copying capabilities. This programme should be of benefit to clinicians and researchers who wish to assess and/or compare CAD data generated by MS-DOS based CAD CAM systems.

The article represents the information that in the age of digital dentistry, virtual treatment planning is becoming an increasingly important element of dental practice. With new technological advances in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) of dental restorations, predictable interdisciplinary treatment using a reverse planning approach appears to be beneficial and feasible. It is noted that thanks to achievements in medical imaging and computer programming, 2D axial images can be processed into other reformatted representations (sagittal and coronal) and three-dimensional (3D) virtual models representing the patient’s anatomy. It is shown that telemedicine occupies a special place among modern technologies in dentistry, which is used both for remote consultation and for the successful treatment of patients.

CAD/CAM technology (Computer Aided Design / Computer Aided Manufacturing) in the matter of fact helps in design and development of two-dimensional or three-dimensional models and their realization on numerical controlled machines. The key to direct or indirect CAD/CAM dental restorations is the measurement of dental preparation in the mouth or on the plaster die. The aim of this paper is to describe the possibilities and the way of function of different computer aided inspection (CAI) systems as a first part of CAD/CAM systems. Different researchers have presented several approaches of methods for three dimensional (3D) measurement. Today, for chairside dental treatment, only the optical method of measurement has lead to satisfactory results in practice. Laboratory CAD/CAM systems use mechanical and optical technologies for 3D measurement. Optical impression grows as a leader of CAI segment of almost every new CAD/CAM system. The most important properties of 3D scanners are: accuracy, volume and speed of measurement and ergonomy of instrument. .

This paper describes three approaches for virtual product development of plastic injection moulds. The first is characterized by the use of three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) for product design, two-dimensional drafting for mould design and three-dimensional computer aided design/manufacture (CAD/CAM) for mould manufacture. The second is characterized by the use of three-dimensional CAD models by all three participants, but between any two participants some form of file conversion is normally required because different CAD systems are used. The first two approaches share one common feature: the models are passed serially from the product designer to the mould designer and on to the toolmaker. They represent current practice in industry. The third approach is a proposed collaborative design process. Participants can work concurrently on the same model, sharing their knowledge and experience. The process is currently being refined and will be validated later this year with a prototype system based on Unigraphics iMAN software.

Clinical Relevance Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) composite resins are susceptible to degradation by dietary solvents. Dietary counselling is prudent when placing such CAD/CAM restorations. SUMMARY This study determined the effect of dietary solvents on the surface roughness (Ra) of direct, indirect, and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) dental composites. The materials evaluated were a direct composite (Filtek Z350 XT [FZ]), an indirect composite (Shofu Ceramage [CM]), and four CAD/CAM composites (Lava Ultimate [LU], Shofu Block HC [HC], Cerasmart [CS], and Vita Enamic [VE]). Specimens (12×14×1.5 mm) of each material were prepared, measured for baseline Ra, ranked, divided into six groups (n=12), and conditioned in the following media for 1 week at 37°C: air (control), distilled water, 0.02 N citric acid, 0.02 N lactic acid, heptane, and 50% ethanol-water solution. The composite specimens were then subjected to postconditioning Ra testing using an optical three-dimensional surface analyzer (G4e, Alicona Imaging GmbH, Raaba, Austria). Inter-medium and inter-material comparisons were performed with one-way analysis of variance and post hoc Bonferroni test at a significance level of α=0.05. Mean Ra values ranged from 0.086 ± 0.004 μm to 0.153 ± 0.005 μm for the various material/medium combinations. For all materials, conditioning in air (control) and distilled water generally resulted in significantly lower mean Ra than exposure to other dietary solvents. Conditioning in citric acid presented the roughest surfaces for FZ, CM, and CS. For LU, HC, and VE, exposure to lactic acid, heptane, and ethanol solution resulted in the highest mean Ra. Regardless of conditioning media, FZ had the highest and VE the lowest mean Ra compared with other composites. The CAD/CAM composites remained susceptible to surface degradation by dietary solvents despite their industrial polymerization.

Objectives: Infrazygomatic crest (IZC) surgical guides have been employed to prevent any avoidable complications during miniscrew insertion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of IZC miniscrew placement when using a surgical-guide developed by computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques. Materials and Methods: Ten patients were scanned with cone-beam computed tomography for three-dimensional (3D) planning of IZC miniscrew placements. The upper arches were scanned separately, and virtual miniscrews were placed in the position planned by 3D software. The CAD/CAM surgical guides were designed and fabricated individually to enable accurate miniscrew placement. Subsequently, 20 self-drilling miniscrews were inserted at the right and left IZC areas using 5 CAD/CAM surgical guides (CS group, n = 10) and direct insertion (DI group, n = 10), respectively. Pre- and post-operative digital model images were compared, actual and planned miniscrew positions were superimposed and measured for 3D angular and distance deviations in the two groups. Comparisons between groups were made using the Kruskal–Wallis test. Results: In the CS group, the median coronal and sagittal angular deviations were 2.95 degrees (range 0.34–5.26 degrees) and 2.05 degrees (range 0.38–4.08 degrees), respectively, while the median coronal and apical deviations were 0.39 mm (range 0.24–0.51 mm) and 0.50 mm (range 0.16–0.66 mm). These deviations differed significantly from those of the DI group. Conclusion: The IZC CAD/CAM surgical guide has made it possible to control miniscrew placement with high precision.

Several procedures have been proposed to achieve maxillary ridge augmentation. These require bone replacement materials to be manually cut, shaped, and formed at the time of implantation, resulting in an expensive and time-consuming process. In the present study, we describe a technique for the design and fabrication of custom-made scaffolds for maxillary ridge augmentation, using three-dimensional computerized tomography (3D CT) and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM). CT images of the atrophic maxillary ridge of 10 patients were acquired and modified into 3D reconstruction models. These models were transferred as stereolithographic files to a CAD program, where a virtual 3D reconstruction of the alveolar ridge was generated, producing anatomically shaped, custom-made scaffolds. CAM software generated a set of tool-paths for manufacture by a computer-numerical-control milling machine into the exact shape of the reconstruction, starting from porous hydroxyapatite blocks. The custom-made scaffolds were of satisfactory size, shape, and appearance; they matched the defect area, suited the surgeon's requirements, and were easily implanted during surgery. This helped reduce the time for surgery and contributed to the good healing of the defects.

Abstract In this paper, we developed an automated system for the design and manufacture of three-dimensional cams. This system incorporates the computer-aided design, manufacturing and inspection three sequences into one automated process. First, a computer package employing the theory of gearing is developed for synthesizing and animating cam mechanisms. Then, a module for generating NC programs for a five-axis CNC machine to manufacture spatial cams is established. Finally, a computer-aided inspection system for measuring cam profile is introduced. This automated CAD/CAM/CAI system is illustrated with an example on the design of a roller gear cam.

The complex three-dimensional relationships in congenital craniofacial reconstruction uniquely lend themselves to the ability to accurately plan and model the result provided by computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM). The goal of this study was to illustrate indications where CAD/CAM would be helpful in the treatment of congenital craniofacial anomalies reconstruction and to discuss the application of this technology and its outcomes. A retrospective review was performed of all congenital craniofacial cases performed by the senior author between 2010 and 2014. Cases where CAD/CAM was used were identified, and illustrative cases to demonstrate the benefits of CAD/CAM were selected. Preoperative appearance, computerized plan, intraoperative course, and final outcome were analyzed. Preoperative planning enabled efficient execution of the operative plan with predictable results. Risk factors which made these patients good candidates for CAD/CAM were identified and compiled. Several indications, including multisuture and revisional craniosynostosis, facial bipartition, four-wall box osteotomy, reduction cranioplasty, and distraction osteogenesis could benefit most from this technology. We illustrate the use of CAD/CAM for these applications and describe the decision-making process both before and during surgery. We explore why we believe that CAD/CAM is indicated in these scenarios as well as the disadvantages and risks.

Abstract Rapid assembly modeling system is a tool that needs to be used in the design process. Because the three-dimensional modeling is intuitive, powerful and can be used in actual engineering, it is more and more used in manufacturing production. In the rapid development of computer-aided design technology, CAD/CAM software is the most commonly used and most widely used modeling tool. Therefore, the purpose of this article to study the rapid assembly modeling in the computer-aided design system is to improve the performance and accuracy of the assembly system and promote the high-quality production of products. This article mainly uses experimental method and case analysis method to test the assembly system designed in this article. The experimental results show that, under low temperature conditions, the relative error and absolute error of the assembly size are in a small space, which meets the actual requirements. Therefore, the system designed in this paper can be used in practice.
