The latest integration of Imagoworks, Inc’s Dentbird Crown with RAYTeams means artificial intelligence-designed crown prostheses can now be directly and seamlessly processed by chairside milling machines.

As of March 28, 2024, the Dentbird Crown AI-powered dental design solution is connected with RAY Co.'s cloud platform, RAYTeams, enabling the fast production dental prosthetics.

Dentbird Crown cloud-based AI Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software automates the design of crown prosthetics, and eliminates the need for software installation on personal computers. The software offers access through a web browser from any location with an internet connection.

By leveraging AI technology, Dentbird Crown can rapidly generate optimized designs for crown prosthetics based on patients' 3D scan data. This workflow simplifies the process to just a few clicks, according to Imagoworks, Inc. This innovative solution at the forefront of AI automation in dentistry reportedly can complete the scan-design-machining workflow within an hour.

The newly announced collaboration enables the direct transfer of crown design files from Dentbird Crown to Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software. This facilitates an intuitive and efficient machining process with RAY's advanced chairside milling machine, the RAYMill C. This integration is part of a growing trend of integrating cloud-based platforms with various solutions, including hardware, to enhance digital dental treatment and improve clinical efficiency.

The process is straightforward, Imagoworks states. Dental professionals can design the crown using Dentbird Crown accessed through a PC with RAYTeams installed. Then, users simply click the "D+CAM" button under the "Send to CAM" option during the export of the crown STL file, and the design is automatically prepared for machining. The crown is ready in as little as 18 minutes, the South Korean company says. This integration is designed to enhance dental care processes, allowing for a complete workflow—from oral scanning to AI design, milling, and post-processing—in under an hour. So, the crown production becomes more efficient, and treatment time is reduced.

The partnership with RAYTeams enables seamless connectivity with milling machines, offering dental professionals a faster and more streamlined workflow for digital prosthesis production, Imagoworks adds in a press release.

As the company continues its global expansion of Dentbird Crown's integration—from MEDIT Link to Shining 3D—this latest update with RAYTeams is said to establish a comprehensive, integrated scan-AI design-milling system.

In February, Imagoworks announced that its flagship AI CAD solution, Dentbird Crown, had been updated to integrate with Shining 3D Dental Cloud. That integration enables dental clinics and dental laboratories using products from both companies to carry out prosthetic manufacturing tasks more quickly, simply, and intuitively than before, according to the 2 companies. Shining 3D Dental Cloud is a digital dentistry-specific platform provided by Shining 3D, China's leading 3D digital solutions company.

Earlier, Dentbird Crown was integrated into Medit Link, a digital platform where various applications are available, which enables clinicians and dental technicians to complete crown design easily and quickly anytime, anywhere.
