Template

 

The processing template specifies how the part is to be processed. It is important that the  selected part type matches the part to be manufactured.

 

Boundary

 

For producing the dental restoration, the material must be removed in a sufficiently large area, the boundary (milling area), around the part so that the tool can machine all areas of the part.

 

CAD

 

Computer-aided design: 3D construction of solid bodies with the aid of a computer

 

CAM

 

Computer-aided manufacturing: Programming of machine tools (milling machines) with the help of a computer

 

Insertion direction

 

Direction from which the tool is machined within the cavity. Must be set for undercut-free machining.

 

hdpart

 

hyperDENT-internal format for part properties. The corresponding part STL must be in the same folder.

 

hdpartz

 

hyperDENT-internal format for part properties including the associated STL file.

 

hdproj

 

hyperDENT project file format.

 

hdprojz

 

hyperDENT project file format including the corresponding STL file.

 

hdcp

This file stores the user-modified part properties.

Connector

 

Holding pin or connecting element between the blank and part, so that this can be machined

 

Metadata

 

CAD interface data containing information on the respective part such as margin lines, type of indication, or the material to be used

 

Multi-layer

Multi-layer blanks

Part

 

Dental restoration

 

Part manager

 

Interface for managing the dental restorations to be manufactured

 

Part type

 

Type of dental restoration to be machined. E.g., crown or inlay/onlay

 

PP/Postprocessor

 

A computer program that converts the results of another program into a new format. The hyperVIEW postprocessor converts the machine-independent program from hyperDENT, which describes the manufacturing steps of the part, into a machine-dependent format that can then be transferred to the relevant machine for processing. For different machines, special postprocessors or settings are required that adapt the data to the machine-specific conditions.

 

Margin lines

 

Lines that separate and limit the different machining operations.  Different types for different part types. E.g., for inlay/onlay, coping...

 

Project

 

One project corresponds to one blank. Saved blanks can be reopened as a project or blank.  

 

Blank type

 

The blank type is composed of blank geometry and material and corresponds to a physical blank, e.g., e.max C14 block.

 

Fixture

 

Holding device in the machine for clamping blanks

 

STL

 

File format of the output data from the scanner as a 3D model

 

Toolpath

 

Toolpath during machining
