CAD: Where Design Takes Shape
The CAD phase involves the virtual design of the dental restoration. A digital impression of the patient is acquired using an intraoral or desktop scanner. The CAD software then enables the dental technician to accurately design crowns, bridges, inlays, or implant structures.
At this stage, the skill of the operator and the reliability of the software make all the difference: a well-executed design reduces errors and improves the quality of the final result.
CAM: From Design to Material
The CAM phase is where the physical object is produced. Once the CAD design is finalized, the milling machine comes into play, interpreting the digital data and transforming it into a tangible object by milling the chosen material (zirconia, wax, lithium disilicate, PMMA, etc.). This phase requires:
- precise and stable machines;
- optimized milling strategies;
- high-quality, well-calibrated tools.
Dyamach milling machines are designed to deliver high performance in every production setting and are fully compatible with CAM software such as Hyperdent and Millbox, ensuring maximum operational flexibility and a perfectly integrated workflow.
Two Components, One Goal: Precision
Understanding the difference between CAD and CAM helps to enhance every phase of the digital workflow. A good CAD design cannot compensate for poor milling, just as a high-performance machine cannot fix a flawed design.
At Dyamach, we understand this well: that’s why we don't just provide high-performing machines—we actively support our clients during the operational phase as well. With dedicated technical support and both on-site and remote training sessions, we guide operators in making the best use of their CAM systems, ensuring a workflow that is smooth, precise, and truly productive.
CAD and CAM are not the same. But together, they make all the difference.
