FAQ

Can Oqcam replace any dental CAM software?
Oqcam is designed to streamline your workflow and replace your existing dental CAM software. Here’s how:
- Compatibility: Oqcam integrates seamlessly with various machine brands, so you likely won’t need to completely overhaul your existing setup.
- Enhanced Functionality: Oqcam goes beyond basic CAM functionalities. It automates tasks like toolpath generation and disc selection, freeing up valuable technician time.
- Additional Features: Oqcam offers a comprehensive solution, including features like an order management system, which your current CAM software might lack.
This combination of compatibility, automation, and additional features makes Oqcam a compelling choice for dental labs looking to improve efficiency and productivity.
What dental CNC milling machines are compatible with Oqcam?
Oqcam is an open and machine-agnostic platform. This means we prioritize your experience with all CNC milling machines you already have or prefer to use, just like we do on the 3D printing side.
Currently, Oqcam seamlessly integrates with several leading brands, including:
- DGShape/Roland
- Imes-icore
- Versamill
- VHF
This way, you can leverage the power of Oqcam’s automation and efficiency features without needing to switch your existing equipment. We’re constantly working to expand compatibility, so stay tuned for even more options in the future!
What benefits does AI bring to CAD CAM dental software?
Oqcam’s AI technology detects the different types of dental part based on the STL file, and automatically performs segmentation to extract features, such as crowns, pontic, holes, inlays, tibases, insertion direction, interproximal areas and margin lines. This ensures Oqcam’s Manufacturing OS CAD CAM dental software will optimally mill features and place pins in the most optimal area.
Why is MES important for dental lab traceability?
Automating CNC dental production at scale is a big challenge. Dental CAD CAM software with MES provides key information such as the due date of each file and customer jobs. If multiple files are for the same customer, the MES can help to prioritise rush cases or group crowns for the same patient in the same disc without manual intervention. The MES capability also allows you to keep track of the location of each disc in real time.
How does Oqcam speed up CAM processing and save operator time?
Oqcam shines with its cloud-based architecture. This translates to several key benefits for CAM workflow:
- Scalable Processing Power: Unlike traditional software limited by your local computer’s power, Oqcam leverages the cloud for on-demand processing. This ensures smooth handling of large datasets, even with thousands of crowns.
- Automated Workflows: Oqcam automates a significant portion of data preparation. While some operator interaction may still be needed, the overall hands-on time is dramatically reduced compared to traditional methods. Think of Oqcam working tirelessly in the background, freeing you for other tasks.
- Background Processing: Calculations for individual crowns and finding the optimal disc with NC file generation happen seamlessly in the background. This means minimal to no user intervention is required in most cases.
- Faster Batch Processing: Even for batches like thousands crowns, the total calculation time remains minimal. This allows Oqcam to process NC files within minutes.
In essence, Oqcam takes care of the heavy lifting, minimizing your screen time and maximizing your lab’s efficiency.
