about
Is this course right for you?
This comprehensive course teaches dental technicians and lab professionals how to create precise hybrid bars using Blender for Dental's iBar module. Starting from software installation and progressing through to final STL export, you'll build practical skills applicable to real-world implant restoration cases.
The course covers three essential modules: Model Designer for file management and alignment, the iBar module for bar creation and parametric design, and the Block Out module for undercut management. You'll learn keyboard shortcuts, navigation techniques, and workflow best practices that professional labs use daily. By the end, you'll confidently design both standard and angled screw channel cases, understanding how to troubleshoot common geometry issues and optimize your designs for milling.
