?:definition
  • Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) orthopedic prosthesis system software designed to operate systems that obtain, process, and store digital orthopedic topographic data and images (i.e., orthopedic impressions) and send the data directly or through a network to milling units for automated manufacturing of the required prostheses, orthoses, and/or molds; the software may also control/monitor a limited number of the system functions. This software usually interacts with other devices used in the procedure, such as the optical scanning system and milling/drilling machines; it may also perform a variety of algorithms to facilitate the operation and analysis of the data obtained from the unit (e.g., a scanner) used to obtain the digital orthopedic impression data. Computed orthopedic CAD/CAM system software may be intended for the unit (e.g., digital scanner) that designs the impression, the orthopedic milling machine, or both; the software is intended to work only with one or a few models of orthopedic CAD/CAM systems and related devices usually supplied by the same manufacturer. Some system software may allow also the processing and/or sending data from the digitization system to and from hospital information systems.
