Nesting (/ˈnɛstɪŋ/): When used in the field
of dental CAD/CAM, the term nesting
describes how the CAD designs are
positioned in the milling blank. The aim is to
use the blank surface in an ideal way that
saves space. Bars and sinter supports are set
and undercuts are both visualized and
optimized.
MULTILAYER NESTING
WHAT YOU SEE IS
WHAT YOU GET.
Nesting is particularly important when processing multilayer
blanks. Transferring the layering diagram into the nesting
software (CAM software or Exocad “In-CAD Nesting
Module”) allows you to visualize the color gradient of the
crowns and bridges. This allows you to plan better and
supports the work process on the screen. It ensures that you
have full control over the brightness value and color
intensity of crowns and bridges in the anterior and posterior
region.
