Specifications
UPCAD is an advanced dental design platform that assists technicians and clinicians in creating accurate, high-quality restorations from digital scan data. It supports a broad range of restorative applications, including single crowns, full and partial dentures, implant-supported solutions, coping & frameworks, and removable partial dentures. UPCAD’s interface is designed to balance power and ease of use, allowing experienced designers to leverage flexible modeling tools while offering intuitive guided workflows for routine cases.
It integrates seamlessly with digital scanners and downstream production systems (such as milling machines and 3D printers), enabling a complete CAD/CAM pipeline in modern dental labs. With tools for margin adjustment, occlusal analysis, model preparation, and restoration design, it provides a robust foundation for both traditional and advanced restorative workflows.
