SUM3D Dental is the ultimate CAM expressly designed to easily create high-quality crowns, caps, abutments and implants. Increase your business opportunities with a partner able to enhance your technical skills, improving the quality and range of your products.

The user interface is simple and intuitive, all available functions are featured in a step-by-step mode in order to guide the user through the creation of the desired machining process.  It's not required a specific CAM experience to obtain high-quality results.   The stock library is easily-editable to add custom shapes and several raw materials from different suppliers. You can combine and manage simultaneously multiple stocks and partially used stocks to be re-machined. The program manages the material scale factor defining the different shrinkage of any block.  To reduce stock thickness SUM3D Dental features the automatic optimization of 4th and 5th axes angle inclinations.

The nesting optimizes the usage of stock material arranging multiple parts in the best position.   Support and sintering pins are automatically added to hold the part during the process, their shape, size and position can be easily modified.

The most efficient tool-path and the best machining strategy are automatically generated to fit different materials and tasks. All parameters can be edited. Pre-set strategies and tools are customizable to obtain ad-hoc machining. Undercut areas are automatically detected and managed to be ready for the milling. Accuracy of applied tool-path strategies is ensured by the automatic detection of border-collet and automatic creation of prep-lines.

All items, tool, spindle, stock and machine parts (including fixtures) are managed to avoid any collision during the machining operation. The simulation displays the tool-path with accurate check of each step of the process, ensuring the good quality of the finished part. The software detects bores and their angles and automatically applies the 5 axes tool-path to realize complete implant bridges and bars. Automatic tool-paths are generated to fit any kind of abutment.
