Workstations designed to operate systems used in computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) of healthcare products (e.g., dental prostheses, orthopedic orthoses and prostheses). These workstations typically consist of a high-speed digital computer with a powerful microprocessor, optical/magnetic disks, and input and output devices. They can acquire, process, and store digital data and images following a dedicated software and then send the data directly or through a network to manufacturing units such as milling units or additive manufacturing machines for automated manufacturing and/or repair of the required products . The workstation usually interacts with the devices used in the procedure, such as optical scanning system and milling/drilling machines. CAD/CAM workstations are used in dedicated healthcare areas (e.g., dental, orthopedic, ophthalmic) and in their associated laboratories and workshops.
