What is dental CAD/CAM?
Dental CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) links three steps: the optical impression, the design of the prosthesis and its production by milling or 3D printing. Circle One covers the middle part: it receives the scans, designs the prosthesis or prostheses and generates the manufacturing files.

Circle One replaces neither your scanner nor your machine: it links the two.
