DARMSTADT, Germany,
Sept. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- exocad
GmbH (exocad), an Align Technology, Inc. company and a leading
dental CAD software provider, detailed the company's achievements
over the past year and recent productivity-boosting software
innovations at its International Dental Show (IDS) press event.
Under the new slogan "Imagine the CADabilities," exocad executives
highlighted new product launches, recently formed strategic
partnerships and company milestones.
"IDS is the biggest tradeshow of the dental industry and the
biggest event for exocad. For us, it was always very clear that if
IDS took place, we would be there," said Tillmann Steinbrecher, CEO exocad. "Our
innovation is based on having a direct contact with the users and
strategic partners, and, while we have always been very active on
social media, nothing can replace the personal communication that
happens during a trade show. Sharing ideas, discussing
improvements, learning about new technologies—that is really what
IDS is all about."
A year of solid software releases
Seamless digital workflows and simplicity of use underscore the
new series of exocad's Galway software releases. ChairsideCAD
3.0 Galway, announced at the 2021 IDS, is part of exocad's next
generation of open-architecture CAD software for single-visit
dentistry. The new ChairsideCAD is highly automated,
intuitive, and optimized for practice use.
"When we developed the Galway releases, the focus was on the
increase of productivity for our customers," said Novica Savic, CCO exocad, citing new features
that simplify the design process. Instant Anatomic Morphing enables
the anatomy of the teeth to automatically adjust in real-time for
dynamic occlusion, and AI-based detection of facial features makes
smile design with Smile Creator faster and more
accurate.
Other recently unveiled Galway releases include DentalCAD 3.0
Galway, with new AI- supported functions, and PartialCAD 3.0
Galway, which offers faster and more accurate partial denture
design.
New strategic partnerships and software integrations
Furthering its role as an industry leader in integration and
collaboration, exocad announced that it entered two large strategic
partnerships this quarter. exocad will team with the Liechtenstein-based, dental product and
systems provider Ivoclar Vivadent to create integrated,
efficiency-boosting solutions for labs and dental technicians.
exocad also deepened its relationship with longstanding strategic
partner Amann Girrbach. The Austrian
company recently presented a new system for same-day dentistry
called Ceramill DRS that includes exocad-based ceramill
software.
In addition to new strategic partnerships, exocad reached a new
milestone in product integration: 10,000 implants from 100
producers are now available in the exoplan 3.0 Galway
implant libraries. The comprehensive libraries include order
numbers, links, information about implant surfaces and more.
Growth to meet demand
Following its acquisition by Align Technology Inc. in 2020,
exocad has released significant innovations, almost doubled its
research and development team, and discussed plans to relocate to a
larger, high-tech headquarters in Darmstadt. The company has
extended its presence in the U.S and expects to continue hiring
globally this year and in 2022.
Scavenger hunts, smile design and social outreach at
IDS
exocad will showcase a growing spectrum of solutions for labs
and practices at the company's eye-catching, newly designed IDS
booth. Visitors will have the opportunity to watch live demos at a
dozen different software islands and sign up to receive their own
3D-printed try-ins using the AI-assisted Smile Creator.
exocad experts and dental trailblazers Dr. Gulshan Murgai and Waldo
Zarco Nosti will present exocad's software solutions:
DentalCAD, ChairsideCAD and exoplan. Attendees
can take part in a scavenger hunt – in line with health and safety
guidelines - to visit the booths and demos of exocad's strategic
partners and receive special prizes. Anyone unable to attend the
Cologne trade show in person can
tune in online to exocad's IDS livestream for top-notch software
tutorials hosted by the exocad team, first-hand impressions of the
trade event and interviews with strategic partners on the showroom
floor.
exocad also offers IDS visitors the opportunity to participate
in social outreach. Since 2005, the Italian charity organization
Overland for Smile (O.N.L.U.S.) has traveled thousands of miles
with its mobile surgery to bring indispensable dental care to
children living in Eastern European orphanages. During IDS, exocad
will collect donations on behalf of O.N.L.U.S. Attendees can
donate 15 euros to the cause and
receive an exclusive exocad T-shirt as a thank you.

Culture" and selected the Irish city of Galway for this year's
releases.
