  • Step 6: Produce the wax tree
    Once all adjustments have been made, press the green arrow to view the final outcome for 3D printing and transfer it to production. The resulting wax tree is ready for pressing.

  • The width can be set to between 2.5mm and 3.0mm.

  • Adjust the length of the sprue and its position on the press restoration and wax tree base.

  • Step 5: Adapt angle
    Although the software automatically calculates the correct angle at which to place the restorations, you can click on each restoration to make modifications within the sprue guide. The software warns you if the change falls outside of the recommended value.

  • Here, the recommended angle for the restoration is being displayed within the Sprue Guide.
    Additional functions that are useful at this stage include:
    * Delete item, which deletes the selected restoration
    * Add item: imports restorations that aren’t displayed in the selection menu
    * Tree weight: the software calculates and displays the wax weight of the tree, which serves as a guide when determining the number of ingots and investment ring size to use during pressing.

  • Step 4: Position the restorations to be pressed
    As soon as the restorations are dragged onto the wax tree base, they are automatically placed at the correct angle. You can manually make adjustments in the next step.

  • Step 3: Select the restorations to be pressed
    Position the restorations to be pressed by dragging and dropping them on top of the wax tree base.
    To import additional files from other systems that aren’t displayed in the selection menu, click on “add item” and add the restorations manually.

  • The software automatically generates the wax tree base on top of which the restorations will be placed.

  • Step 2: Create the wax tree in the CAMBridge software
    Click on the “build platform” symbol to create the wax tree and go into the selection menu to set the required settings in the printer, including material (wax or resin) and shade.

  • Step 1: Create the order in 3Shape’s Dental System™
    Select the abutment teeth, type of restoration and material.
