COMPETENCIES AND TECHNOLOGIES
The Digital Technologies Lab is dedicated to education and research activities in the areas of computer aided design and computer assisted machining (CAD-CAM), with particular focus on the dental and dental technology areas. The R&D activities are developed in the areas of photogrammetry (object digitalization with different technology equipment), reverse engineering (object modulation and comparation with specific software) and rapid prototyping (object milling and 3D printing with different technology equipment and dental materials).
