Method and apparatus for producing a dental product

摘要

A stock removal workshop for the production of a dental restoration product includes a stock removal machine operable to remove stock material from a blank such that there remains a dental product having the desired geometry requisitioned by a dental practice or a dental laboratory. A stock removal plotter controls the stock removal machine operation and converts requisition data received from the dental practice or the dental laboratory which characterizes a virtual model of the requisitioned dental product into control data for controlling the stock removal machine operation. A geometry following assembly characterizes the geometry of the produced dental product via a geometry following operation and a comparison device compares the geometry characterizing data relating to the produced dental product with the requisition data to determine deviations therebetween.
