Management of blanks

Go to Tools Management of Blanks

Choose the subtype of material[1] which the new blank belongs to and then click

[2] to pop up the window to create a new blank of your own. Of course you can also click at trash icon[3] to delete any existed blank.

In the pop-up windows, create the new blank by giving the Name[4], Price[5] and Thickness[6].

You can activate and add a value of 'Offset'[7].

• If this value is filled, this offset is taken instead of a default offset(2.9 for Zirconia e.g.) found in opelist

You can also define the blank as a multilayered material[8] in a pop up window where you can define numbers of colors[9], percentages of each color[10] and the color[11].

When the definition is finish, click at validate.

Now you will have a new blank just created[12] and use it for programming.

If the new blank is defined with offset value, the defined offset value [12] will be displayed when this new blank is shown in the list.

• In OPL we also have a default offset value(2.9 for Zirconia e.g.) as a minimum safety distant between element and used blank. If we define 3.65 as the offset value in the new blank, then we will use 3.65 instead of 2.9 in the next processes.
