Intellifit Digital Restoration System
The Intellifit Digital Restoration System is an integrated digital solution to scan, design and fabricate common dental restorations.  It is the first integrated digital solution to support the production process for removable partial frameworks, as well as full contour crown and bridge. The system’s unique “3D Virtual Touch” stylus allows dental lab technicians to digitally design multiple restoration types with unmatched speed and precision – while keeping the artistry and manual dexterity they have spent years perfecting.  Find out more at:  www.Sensabledental.com.

FreeForm and ClayTools 3D Touch-enabled Modeling Systems
The Sensable 3D modeling systems provide unparalleled speed and creative freedom. You can:

  • Model complex, highly-detailed, organic shapes faster than with traditional CAD tools
  • Easily create multiple design variations
  • Rapidly clean up, modify, and stylize scan data
  • Create detailed textures for prototyping, evaluation, and manufacturing

Different Sensable 3D modeling systems meet varying needs. Some provide the precision, tools, and interoperability required for designing products for manufacturing (see FreeForm®), while others are geared more for modeling next-gen game characters and fine arts (see ClayTools®). Each system supports a variety of digital workflows and other 2D and 3D tools.

The systems include a PHANTOM device-a true 3D interface with force-feedback. You work in 3D faster than ever before because you use your sense of touch to model virtual clay just like real clay. The systems are easy to learn and users typically become productive within a few days.

 

PHANTOM line of Haptic Devices
Different models in the PHANTOM product line meet varying needs. The Premium models are high-precision instruments and, within the PHANTOM product line, provide the largest workspaces and highest forces, and some offer 6DOF (6 degrees of freedom) output capabilities. The PHANTOM® Desktop™ and PHANTOM Omni® devices offer affordable desktop solutions. Of the two devices, the PHANTOM Desktop delivers higher fidelity, stronger forces, and lower friction, while the PHANTOM Omni is our lowest-priced haptic device.

OpenHaptics® Toolkit
The OpenHaptics toolkit enables developers to add haptics and true 3D navigation to a broad range of applications. The toolkit is patterned after the OpenGL® API, making it familiar to graphics programmers and facilitating integration with new or existing OpenGL applications. This haptics toolkit handles complex calculations, provides low-level device control for advanced developers, and supports polygonal objects, material properties, and force effects. The OpenHaptics toolkit supports a range of PHANTOM devices from the low-cost PHANTOM Omni device to the larger PHANTOM Premium devices.


Contract Development to OEMs

Custom Software and Devices
Sensable has been a quality manufacturer of PHANTOM® haptic (force-feedback) devices since 1993. In addition to the off-the-shelf PHANTOM devices and OpenHaptics toolkit, we offer contract development to OEMs for new and customized software and haptic devices for specific applications. We have designed new and customized haptic devices for simulation and robotics for leading medical equipment suppliers. With over 13 years of experience developing haptic applications and designing and manufacturing haptic devices in volume, we can provide the expertise and key resources to help you deliver high-quality, cost-effective haptic solutions.

The Sensable development team has in-depth knowledge of haptics, 3D design, and mechanical and electrical engineering. Our manufacturing facility is located at our headquarters in Woburn, Massachusetts, and we have established a network of partners and suppliers to provide flexibility and scale.
