exocad announced that the DentalCAD 2.3 Matera release with many new and optimized features, including the new Smile Creator add-on module, is now available. With this new release, the company introduces next-generation esthetic planning for users of its leading dental CAD software, offering real in-CAD smile design. Smile Creator enables easy-to-use, time-saving and predictable virtual planning of highly esthetic restorations by combining patient photos, outlines, and 3D situations. Simple 2D tools can be used to edit tooth shapes, while the 3D result is visualized in real time from different angles. The advantage is clear: highly predictable esthetic and functional results.
“Smile Creator enables users to plan and realistically visualize the final result even before they start treatment. This product sets the new benchmark for future communication between dental technicians, dentists and patients – particularly when it comes to designing esthetic anterior restorations,” said Tillmann Steinbrecher, CEO of exocad. “Even before starting treatment, patients can get a sure-shot impression of their new smile. Thanks to our innovative 2D/3D technology, the prosthetic feasibility can be assessed reliably as early as during the esthetic planning phase. This means that any adaptations desired by the patient can be implemented easily and quickly.”
Smile Creator is fully integrated into the DentalCAD software platform. “Users benefit from the intuitive operating concept of our tried-and-tested open exocad software platform, offering high performance and results they can fully rely on,” added Maik Gerth, CTO of exocad.Smile Creatoris now available as an add-on module for DentalCAD 2.3 Matera or as a stand-alone version.
Further highlights of the new Matera release include:
- FullDentureModule now supports different types of production processes, including two-step milling, printed denture bases and monolithic printed dentures (e.g. for try-ins)
- New exoprint tool for a seamless workflow with 3D printers. Designs and associated information can be passed directly from DentalCAD to 3D printing software, using an open XML-based interface
- Implant libraries are now delivered separately from the software which greatly reduces the download package size. End users with a valid upgrade contract can download up-to-date implant libraries via https://exocad.com/integration/dentalcad-library-integration
- Improved digital pen support (including dynamic pressure) based on Windows Ink. Dedicated presets are available for a variety of WACOM devices
- Optimized support for 3D face scans, including 3D face modelling
- Increased flexibility: scene files can now be freely transferred between most OEM versions of exocad (including Amann Girrbach, Zfx, Schütz Dental, Vatech, etc.)
- Smarter implant libraries with more predefined design parameters and optimal integration with exoplan
- DentalCAD 2.3 Materacontains the “Immediate Load” feature as BETA which allows importing of implant planning data from exoplan e.g. to design a crown prior to implant placement
The new DentalCAD 2.3 Matera software version is available immediately worldwide and can be accessed by all users with an upgrade contract. exocad names its releases after European Capitals of Culture and the new DentalCAD 2.3 Matera release is named after Matera, the 2019 European Capital of Culture, also known as The City of Caves, located in Southern Italy’s Basilicata region.
