The modern way to manufacture dental restorations: digitally and connected.

Digital manufacturing reimagined

Digital processes have become an essential part of modern dental manufacturing. At the same time, demands for efficiency and ease of use continue to grow. A lack of connectivity often leads to unnecessary complexity. What’s needed is a workflow that creates room for what really matters: quality, precision, and the enjoyment of one’s work.

With the new vhf digital solutions, that vision becomes reality. Machines, software, and data are intelligently connected, creating seamless and efficient workflows in both dental practices and laboratories.

A connected ecosystem for your dental restorations

Three perfectly matching components form the foundation of vhf digital solutions:

dentalcam 9 – the intuitive CAM software for efficiently preparing your restorations
dentalcnc 9 – the machine control software for precise manufacturing and data exchange with myvhf
myvhf – the software platform for monitoring, analytics, and additional machine-related services

Together, they enable a seamless workflow – from the design file to the completed restoration.

Optimized for labs and dental practices

No matter where you work, digital solutions deliver meaningful productivity benefits.

Dental laboratories and milling centers benefit from a centralized view of the productivity and utilization of their vhf machine fleet, helping them make the most of available capacity. Remote monitoring features also provide added convenience and peace of mind when machines are running outside regular business hours.

In dental practices and practice labs, intuitive operation and transparent machine status information are especially valuable for time-sensitive chairside restorations.

Let your work flow!

vhf digital solutions create a fully connected workflow.

Fast
Automated functions and connected machines ensure highly efficient workflows.
Transparent
Real-time overview of your processes and machine status.
Easy
A consistent and intuitive user interface makes it easy to get started with digital workflows.

dentalcam & dentalcnc

Seamless interaction between CAM and CNC software for milling and grinding.

Manufacturing made easy

dentalcam 9 and dentalcnc 9 are perfectly matched. The latest generation of vhf software automates numerous workflow steps and makes operation easier than ever. The result: faster processes, fewer manual interventions, and processing times up to 20% shorter than with the previous version.

A workflow with no waiting times

Once preparation is complete in dentalcam 9, the data is transferred directly to dentalcnc 9. Together, the two applications create a seamless digital workflow with no interruptions between systems.

Thanks to directmill Technology, production can begin while additional toolpaths are still being calculated. This saves valuable time and maximizes efficiency in your daily production workflow.

Automated. Fast. User-friendly.

CAM software and machine control – all from a single source.

Intuitive operation
Modern user interface with a fully 3D-based display – making operation easy, even for beginners.
Intelligent material filters
Your blank selection is supported by intelligent material filters.
More than just geometry: metadata transfer
No manual data entry required. In addition to the restoration geometry, a wide range of manufacturing information is transferred directly from the CAD software:
- Indication (e.g., crown, bridge, or implant)
- Material and shade
- Preparation lines and drill holes

Auto-nesting
Automatically optimizes the placement of imported restorations within the disc or block.
Auto-leveling
Automatically rotates restorations within the blank to make the best possible use of the available blank height and reduce material costs.
Auto-connector placement
dentalcam 9 automatically places the connectors for your restorations.
Optimized strategies for every object type
Machining strategies are optimized for all indications. Fit discrepancies, drill holes, prep lines, and undercuts are detected automatically.

directmill Technology
While toolpaths for additional restorations or finishing passes are still being calculated, the machine already begins roughing – with no waiting time.
Multi-machine control
Control up to six machines simultaneously with dentalcnc 9. A single dentalcam 9 installation can support your entire machine fleet, simplifying administration and day-to-day management.
Seamless connection to myvhf
Continuous data exchange with myvhf for monitoring, updates, and services.

The future belongs to open systems!

Enjoy the freedom to choose: CAD software, scanners, and materials

dentalcam is a powerful software package featuring open STL import for all leading CAD applications as well as AI-powered design software. In addition to geometry data, dentalcam also imports all relevant metadata. This reduces manual data entry, speeds up job preparation, and minimizes the risk of errors.

But freedom of choice doesn’t stop with software. Our test center has validated virtually all materials from a wide range of manufacturers – from plastics and zirconia to non-precious alloys and glass ceramics. The optimal milling and grinding parameters for each material have been determined and stored in the comprehensive dentalcam material database. Combined with the appropriate vhf tools, this ensures not only the highest possible quality, but also the shortest possible machining times.

CAD integrations: Fewer clicks. More flow.

No matter which CAD software you use, dentalcam 9 offers the right path to manufacturing. From open STL import and direct STL one-click transfer to a fully integrated CAD/CAM workflow, our CAD integrations give you maximum flexibility, fewer manual steps, and a seamless digital process.

All relevant metadata is automatically transferred at every integration level.

Open STL import

Export the STL file from your CAD software and import it into dentalcam 9. Available for all common CAD systems.
