What is CAD?

• Computer-Aided Design
• CAD is the use of electronic tools to design
  products on a computer screen instead of by hand
• CAD has numerous benefits for OP

3
No Messy Plaster

• Plaster is messy and takes a long time to dry
• CAD eliminates the use of plaster entirely!

4
High Degree of Accuracy

• Accuracy is how close a measured value is to the
  actual value
• CAD is much more accurate than hand-casting
• OMEGA Scanner is accurate to /- 0.5mm

5
Exceptionally Fast and Easy for the Patient
CAD completely eliminates these issues,
increasing comfort and convenience for the
patient

• With plaster
• Patient must hold one position for several
  minutes
• Patient must wait for plaster to dry

6
Full Range of Modification Tools

• CADs electronic tools allow the clinician to
  make any modification that is possible with
  plaster but much more precisely, and in a
  fraction of the time

7
Extremely Repeatable

• A result is repeatable when, each time the
  clinician measures the same patient using the
  same equipment, the measurements are the same
• CAD is much more repeatable than hand-casting

  about OMEGA Tracer is the freedom it allows me to
  have. There are no more long hours working hard
  to get caught up, because with Tracer you stay
  caught up.
• Jeff Phelps Tom Watsons PO Lab,

•  
• With OMEGA Tracer, we can be more responsive to
  the patients needs. We can include them in the
  tracing and modification process and turn around
  a socket in two hours, saving them a trip back
  for the fitting.
