PartialCAD 3.3 Chemnitz: features, system requirements & setup
Partial-denture and split-denture design for digital dental laboratories.
Guide updated · Independent software support
Available for authorised installation and setup; licence and build compatibility to be confirmed
What is PartialCAD used for?
Partial-denture and split-denture design for digital dental laboratories. Dental laboratories producing removable partial frameworks and implant-based split dentures.
Confirm DentalCAD integration, material thickness and production exports.
PartialCAD features and edition differences
- Guided split-denture workflows generate a fitting underlying bar.
- Bar-plane controls, improved posts and gingiva-thickness tools refine designs.
Reusable settings help standardise recurring split-denture cases.
Licensed modules and packages
The automated split-denture workflow requires PartialCAD, Implant Module and Bar Module entitlements.
