Operational Description

The templates for the parts to be milled are transferred as an "stl_file" to a CAM software such as
iCam350. In the cam software the parts are positioned relative to a workpiece. Then settings for
further processing such as speed of travel, depth of penetration of the milling cutter, milling sequence
and scaling are set automatically. To create a milling program the CAM software calculates the milling
paths and maps out the program. The final program is saved in the "Remote Dental XX" control
software on the machine control PC in the folder "C./NC_Daten/350i". The "Remote Dental XX" control
