Methods for obtaining data and for manufacturing a dental component and a
physical dental model of at least a part of a dental structure are
provided which can improve processing times and provide sufficient
manufacturing accuracy. An embodiment of the method can comprise
obtaining a first data record for manufacturing the dental component and
a second data record for manufacturing the physical dental model. The
first data record can comprise data based on a portion of a digital
dental model. The second data record can comprise data based on at least
the portion of the digital dental model. In this regard, the data upon
which the first and second data records are based can be obtained using
first and second scanning resolutions in order to improve processing
times and provide sufficient accuracy.
