Application of CAD / CAM Technology on Facial, Oral and Cranial Region: A Review

Abstract

The use of Computer Aided Design (CAD) / Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) to produce biomedical devices has recently become more interesting because of environmental benefits and the fact that it has been done using computer simulations. However, CAD / CAM operating costs are a major obstacle to product commercialization. High specification computers are used as a raw material for design, customizing the processes of transferring continuous digital images and small-size and high-quality manufacturing tools are major options to reduce the cost of CAD / CAM operations. The most widely used method is to optimize how CAD and CAM devices work through an algorithm. This optimization will contribute to the rapid development of the ability to produce better products and reduce operating costs. The case study to be conducted is the development of CAD / CAM optimization over the past years (2013, 2018) towards the production of biomedical devices.
