Geomagic Piano enables better dental care for patients and dramatic productivity gains for dental labs. Based on more than 10 years of research and development performed in close collaboration with leading dental companies, including KaVo in general dentistry, Align Technology and Ormco in orthodontics, and Atlantis Components in custom abutments, Geomagic Piano is proven as a trusted platform for custom dental software development. Geomagic Piano was designed by the company's world-class research and development team, who are experts in 3D imaging technology, CAD/CAM software systems and dental best practices.
“Geomagic Piano is an expression of our vision for the future of digital dental technology and services,” says Ping Fu, Geomagic chairman, president and CEO. “Geomagic Piano provides a world-class, customizable, modular solution that gives the dental industry an open digital platform for dental reconstruction. The launch of Geomagic Piano establishes a foundation for new standards, paradigms and quality in dental patient care and dental lab productivity.”
Geomagic Piano accurately reconstructs scan data of teeth, maxillary and mandibular arches, and jaw structure to facilitate work that ranges from custom implant abutment design to the design of crowns and bridges. Built on Geomagic's Agile Development Platform, Geomagic Piano is designed to allow dental equipment manufacturers to quickly integrate it into their own applications and customize the software to meet their specific needs.
By leveraging Geomagic Piano technology and the Geomagic Agile Development Platform, dental equipment manufacturers can achieve a rapid development framework that shortens time-to-market and permits the integration of legacy systems with leading-edge technology. Geomagic Piano's open platform enables immediate interoperability with imaging and manufacturing systems to provide a standardized software interface that reduces training times for distributors and end-users.
Geomagic offers a range of solution options, including the integration of the standard suite of Geomagic software modules, creation of custom add-ons that extend the standard suite, and the development of completely customized applications built to a particular manufacturer's specifications. Throughout the customization and integration process, Geomagic experts are available every step of the way from requirements definition to solution design and implementation.
