SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING FULL AND PARTIAL DENTURES

摘要

There is provided a system for fabricating 100 at least a portion of a de nture. The system includes a three-dimensional scanning device 105 for scann ing a surface of a denture template, and a computer-readable medium 110 incl uding a computer program for receiving data from the scanning device, creati ng a 3-dimensional model 315 of the surface, and optionally modifying the 3- dimensional model 315 and/or adding features to the 3- dimensional model 315 . The system also includes a fabricator 115 for creating the at least the po rtion of the denture, from a selected material, based on the 3- dimensional model. The fabricator 115 may be a device including a lathe 805, or a rapid prototyping machine. There is also provided a method for fabricating at leas t a portion of a denture 810.
