Continuous Learning: A multi-level training concept for everyone, from beginners to experts
hyperDENT customers vary greatly in their knowledge of the background and operation of CAM technology. A new customer will obviously have less experience to fall back on than someone who has been a customer for several years. This is why FOLLOW-ME! has developed a multi-level training concept which, followed all the way through, will make every hyperDENT customer a hyperDENT expert!
The hyperDENT training concept consists of three modules:
- “hyperDENT Basics” training will give you some essential basic knowledge about hyperDENT as a component of the digital process chain, and includes sections on its interaction with CAD, milling machines, tools and materials.
Learning objectives | Training content |
|---|
Mastering hyperDENT‘s basic functionalities | Main Tool Bar: All functions, from loading object to object calculations |
| Views |
| Working with direct interfaces |
| Complete Workflow Scanner – CAD – CAM – Machine: What to watch out for |
| Managing blanks |
| General Preferences: Database security, system preferences |
| Defining machine-specific preferences, adjusting the blank holder |
| Definition of blanks |
| Definition of connectors / sinter pins |
| Definition of and information about tools |
| Using the template database: Saving, copying, exporting, relation to object types and materials |
| Importing into the database |
| Printing |
| Saving project files and hyperView files |
| Post-processing: Preferences and handling hyperView, installing the post-processor, simulation, interpreting NC files |
- “hyperDENT Advanced” training gives the user information on standard templates in soft and hard materials.
Learning objectives | Training content |
|---|
To generate standard templates in zirconium oxide, cobalt chrome and titanium | Using the template generator: Creating a job list, deleting, adding, copying, etc. |
| How specific jobs relate to specific object types |
| What are machining areas? |
| Machining: Rough-machining, left-over material, finishing |
| ‘General Preferences’ parameter |
| Rough-machining parameter |
| Left-over material parameter |
| Finishing parameter |
| Generating independent templates, calculating tool paths and checking them in hyperVIEW |
| Differences: Crown templates, bridge templates, anatomical crown/bridge, primary parts, things to look out for |
| Differences: Soft and hard materials, things to look out for |
| Parameter Boundary Check, things to look out for, collision analysis |
| ‘Conditional calculation’ parameter, things to look out for |
- “hyperDENT Expert” training shows the user how to create complex abutment templates and templates for glass ceramic applications, and is the final module in the hyperDENT training programme.
Learning objectives | Training content |
|---|
To generate templates for abutments and glass ceramic applications | Different types of implant connection geometry |
| New machining areas |
| Defining the machining areas using an interface/manual |
| Machining directions/angle optimization |
| New machining: Drilling |
| Parameters for screw channel machining |
| Conditional calculation in the screw channel |
| Defining ‘piecemeal machining’ in connection geometry |
| Piecemeal machining of connection geometry in templates |
| Generating an independent template for ‘direct connect’, abutment/abutment bridge |
| Difference: milling/finishing |
| Machine-specific possibilities with regard to job range 3X/5X rotary milling |
| Machining directions/machining areas in the ‘finishing module’ |
| New machining cycles for the finishing module |
| New finishing module parameters |
| Independent generation of a finishing template |
Following successful completion of all three training modules, the user will be able to make full and independent use of his CAM software. They will then receive a ‘Dental CAM Certificate’. Our aim is to make this certification an integral part of the standard training for dental technicians, as a way to future-proof the profession.
The ‘Dental CAM Certificate’ can be highly valuable for career progression within the dental industry; the qualification proves you to be well-versed in digital processing, and even an expert in one of the most sophisticated digital technologies.
