ModuleWorks announces the latest performance enhancements for ModuleWorks Dental Framework 2019. In tests performed at the ModuleWorks Dental CAM Laboratory in Aachen, Germany, ModuleWorks Dental Framework 2019 accelerated dental grinding by 60-80% compared to previous releases of the software. The tests also confirmed the performance advantages of multi-core processing for toolpath calculations.
ModuleWorks Dental Framework is high-performance plug-and-play dental CAM software that integrates seamlessly into dental CAM applications to accelerate the production of dental indications in labs and practices. It is powered by the ModuleWorks CAM kernel, which brings over 800 man-years of ongoing cutting-edge CAM software development to the dental industry. ModuleWorks Dental Framework utilizes this strong development platform to continuously enhance the performance and cost-effectiveness of dental milling and grinding applications.

Optimizing machining times
Grinding is a well-established CAD/CAM manufacturing process in dental labs and practices. In recent years, the trend has moved towards one-session treatment in dental practices (chair-side applications). ModuleWorks has developed special advanced CAM technologies to meet the specific requirements of this market, resulting in faster machining times and more cost-effective chair-side treatment. As Figure 3 shows, between the 2013 release and 2019 release, ModuleWorks Dental Framework has cut machining time by an average of 60-80%. Continuous development of different CNC machine kinematics and support for more and more tools ensure machining times remain at the cutting edge.
