Today, BioCad inaugurates new buildings blazing in the technological Park of Quebec. A masonry of 12,000 square feet built at the cost of $5 million and equipped with the best robot-like tools of the planet. Distinguished guests from every continent ventured to Quebec for the inauguration of BioCad for lectures by Dr. Ady Palti (Baden-Baden, Germany), president of the International Congress of Oral Implantology (ICOI) and Jean Robichaud, Master Dental Technician and founder of BioCad.

Jean Robichaud, a Master Dental Technician, founded BioCad with his sons Bernard and Gabriel. In the mid nineties, realizing that automation is the means of accelerating any processes, Jean placed himself ahead of curve to automate the manufacture of prostheses and implants.
At the end of seven years, BioCad “robotized not only the manufacturing process of the dental prostheses, but its team of engineers conceived ImplantCad the most sophisticated bar, abutments and crown & bridge CAD/CAM provided with a 3D scanner which, in less than 10 minutes, can scan a 3D image of the patient dentitions by utilizing impression provided by the dentist. In itself, it is revolutionary”, continues Mr. Robichaud, “Because up to now it was done manually. However, due to the shortage of dental lab technicians, our solution makes it possible to save time, money, while ensuring a precision of the implants within a micron” (a measurement of tens of time smaller than a hair). Thus, with a simple click of mouse, a dental lab technician anywhere in the world can transmit a 3D image to BioCad and in less than one day BioCad will mass customize production of the prostheses, bars or custom abutments.
According to Gabriel Robichaud, “BioCad clients are the dental laboratories. A market which in 10 years has expanded where consumers are more educated and concerned with dental esthetics.”
Today, bars, customized abutments and prostheses are in great demand at the BioCad milling center fully equipped with milling Swiss and German equipment. “These titanium monobloc frameworks, or ImplantCad bars, are highly accurate because they are CAD/CAM generated and seamless since there is no welding of segments”, specifies Mr. Robichaud.
BioCad aims to be the world implantology leader. “ BioCad has already a number of agreements, but it is only tip of the iceberg, affirms Gabriel Robichaud, since BioCad will continue its worldwide renowned implantology research and the development.”
BioCad ImplantCad, the most comprehensive dental CAD/CAM with bar design, custom abutments, coping, and crown & bridge design to launched September 7th 2007. The custom abutment module is due to be released October 2007 for Canada and the full product is geared to be launched 1st Quarter of 2008 for the USA to coincide with Lab Day at the Chicago Mid-Winter.
