Autodesk - MeshMixer
MeshMixer is not a dental software. It is a very userfriendly and basic CAD design software that works very well in the dental industry. There are other programs that work as well, but MeshMixer has gained a lot of popularity for its ease of use, quick learning curve, and robust tool set for what we need. Also, many of the tools used in MeshMixer are similar to what we have in other, Dental specific software.
