exocad Module Descriptions
Implant Module
Even designing abutment and suprastructures in one single CAD session is possible. Angulated screw channels are supported as well. With Implant Module, the choice is yours! Either mill in-house or send out your files for production. The add-on module supports a wide range of in-house milling systems. In addition, leading production centers will accept files generated by exocad software.
With the Implant Module for DentalCAD, you can directly design screw-retained crowns and bridges as well as custom abutments
Bar Module
exocad’s Bar Module allows both fast and easy realization of standard dental bars as well as advanced complex bar designs
The bar is designed considering the shape and position of full anatomical restorations. Attachments or retentions can be added to the design; cylindrical holes or even arbitrary geometries can be cut out to bolt or glue pre-fabricated attachments onto the bar. An extensive library of pre-defined editable bar profiles allows you to efficiently meet your customers expectations. Thanks to its elaborate range of options, exocad’s Bar Module allows you to design dental bars that solve complex clinical situations gracefully while providing maximum comfort for patients.
Model Creator
Both the design of models with detachable segments (using premanufactured bases) and the design of monolithic models (where the prepared die is either removable or a separate check die) are supported. Combined with our Implant Module, Model Creator enables you to create models with lab analogues and removable gingiva masks.
exocad’s Model Creator module helps you create physical models from intra-oral scan data or impression scans
Bite Splint Module
Thanks to its easy-to-use customization tools and its intuitive workflow that guides you through the design process, producing bite splints is efficient and profitable. The add-on module‘s extensive functionality allows you to virtually adjust the occlusion and remove undesirable interferences. You can also smooth and morph the surface of your night guards individually or select the option for automatic flattening of the posterior occlusal surface. Heighten patient satisfaction and brand identification of your design by adding your logo and text. We recommend using a combination of both Bite Splint Module and Virtual Articulator for optimal results.
You can design high-quality therapeutic night guards quickly in just a few steps
Provisional Module
Produce temporary crowns and bridges using the eggshell technique prior to your patients visit
exocad‘s Provisional Module enables you to create temporaries based on the patient‘s pre-operative anatomy. Alternatively you can create the provisional crown or bridge by using the tooth library. Then make fine adjustments using an extensive suite of freeforming tools. New tooth morphologies can be clinically evaluated within the module, thereby helping you reduce chair time.

Use simple 2D editing tools to edit the 3D shapes
See the 3D result in real-time from various angles
Wow your patients with the AI Service TruSmile™ Video and TruSmile™ Photo! Generate highly realistic smile makeover visualizations based on individual tooth setups and treatment plans! Find out more.
In-CAD Smile Creator is available in stand-alone format or as an add-on module to exocad’s successful DentalCAD software.
Inspira Denture Tooth Library
The Inspira Denture Tooth Library is the first denture library designed by exocad specifically for a digital workflow. The library features predefined contact points for automatic occlusion to simplify the prosthetic set-up for digital denture design. The Inspira module will be available free of charge to DentalCAD licensees with an active Flex Ultimate Bundle and licensees with a DentalCAD Perpetual Ultimate Bundle with a valid upgrade contract as of September 16, 2024.
Highlights of the Inspira Denture Tooth Library
• Simplifies prosthetic set-up
• Occlusal surfaces are flatter for better interlocking and different occlusal concepts
• Cervical areas of the library teeth are optimized for better production
• The library is fully scalable, printable and millable
PartialCAD
Apply advanced design and customization features for meshes, major connectors, clasps, lingual aprons and finish lines. Enjoy the highest design flexibility offered by PartialCAD’s extensive features and functionality for l-bar retainers, post design with retention and auto-relief for optimal fit. With this module, you can combine partial frameworks with crown and bridge design elements and create support bars for printing. In addition, partial framework customizations with logos and text are possible.

Virtual Articulator
The positioning of stone models within the physical articulator can be precisely transferred into the software – with the aid of a scanner that supports virtual articulation as well – to achieve perfect patient-specific results. Parameters such as condylar angle, bennet angle and immediate side shift can be adjusted as in a physical articulator. To import jaw motion data from 3rd party measurement devices, the Virtual Articulator module can be combined with the Jaw Motion Import module.

xSNAP Module
Save time and effort checking natural jaw movements with the xSNAP Module
The xSNAP Module makes it possible to perform articulation movement without manually articulating printed models.
3D-articulated system
The xSNAP Module’s 3D-articulated system features a spherical head that, unlike the familiar clip-fold articulators, allows not only opening and closing movement but also precisely executed protrusion and laterotrusion.
No manual articulation needed
Four different articulator inclinations and two optional incisal tables allow the user to perform articulation movement of the models without having to manually articulate the printed models.
Adjust for your preference
Joint guidance dynamically adjustable for each printer and personal preferences.
