This document discusses CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) software that is used to both design and manufacture products. CAD/CAM allows for increased speed and simplicity of the design and creation processes. It also enables restorations and appliances that otherwise may not have been possible due to cost or feasibility concerns. The document outlines the CAD/CAM process and notes benefits like increased precision and reduced errors compared to traditional manual methods. Common materials used in CAD/CAM like zirconia are also listed.
