fully automated manufacturing

3Shape's CAMbridge^TM is a software add-on module to DentalSystem. CAMbridge enables fully automated manufacturing of dental restorations by automatic preparation of the completed CAD design for milling, wax printers and model making machines, and laser sintering.

CAMbridge^TM includes features for automatic preparation of the completed design including the addition of sprues, drops and optimal placement in the blank for milling.

As restoration orders are ready for manufacturing the completed designs are automatically prepared for the selected material and corresponding manufacturing equipment. CAMbridge^TM supports full integration with 3Shape's Dental System^TM but can also handle non-3Shape generated STL files.

Powerful tool for dental restoration manufacturing
CAMbridge is fully integrated with 3Shape's Dental System™ for automatically exchanging complete order information and manufacturing progress. In addition CAMbridge™ contains high-end support for STL files, including auto detection of margin-lines and undercut reduction. Users can configure automatic sorting of completed designs based on manufacturing specific parameters, such as material, manufacturing equipment, and height.

Optimize material use
For milling machines, completed design can be automatically and optimally placed in the blank to optimize material utilization. Additional functionality includes automated placement of sprues and drops - if needed. The module also contains a blank manager, which allows tracking and re-use of partially milled blanks from previous jobs. The actual milling path generation can be performed by 3rd party software or the 3Shape CAM software.

Efficient CAM software with milling strategies
3Shape offers a CAM software with one of the market's fastest milling strategies, with razor sharp margins and perfect fit removing the need for manual finishing. CAMbridge™ offers milling strategies for 3.5-axis machining and 3+1, 3+2 machining for selected 4 and 5 axes milling machines. The software can seamlessly transfer files and control to the machine. Calculation of milling strategies for a full blank is typically completed in 150 seconds.

Wax printers and model making machines
WaxPrinterWithAdaptiveGroups For rapid prototyping machines, such as wax printers and model making machines, CAMbridge can automatically perform all preparation steps, including optimal placement, orientation, support generation and communication with the machine. The new adaptive grouping enables automatic clustering of cases, e.g. from the same lab, for efficient handling. The cluster border and cluster name, e.g. the lab name, is also printed for fast identification.

Laser sintering
WaxPrinterWithAdaptiveGroups Full automated preparation of completed designs for Laser sintering machines is also available, including optimal placement, unique support generation and ID tags for easy identification. The unique support structure suppresses the warping during the sintering process, but is still easy to remove. Adaptive grouping is also provided for laser sintering.

Streamlined workflows
Combining DentalManager Inbox and CAMbridge^TM enables highly competitive manufacturing centers, where orders are sent from the internal or external lab and passed to the manufacturing equipment without human interaction.

User friendly and automation
CAMbridge's intuitive software interface and the highest level of automation available empowers non-technical operators to run a streamlined production.

Saving money
For milling machines, completed designs can be automatically and optimally placed in the blank. Optimal placement reduces manpower and skill requirements, while improving material utilization and increasing manufacturing capacity.

3Shape believes in an Open flexible business model and about expanding possibilities for users rather than limiting them.
That is why 3Shape offers the widest integration to manufacturing equipment and materials among all CAD/CAM systems, ensuring 3Shape customers access to the latest and most competitive technology.
