Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If traditional three-dimensional CAD software is used for prosthesis design, then prosthesis can be manufactured with precision, but the design process requires significant user input and data processing which increases time and resource consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs preliminary data processing and prosthesis design before user intervention. The controller automatically generates a prosthesis design based on three-dimensional oral data, and only presents selected items for user confirmation, thereby reducing design process time while maintaining precision
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically processing oral data and generating prosthesis designs without requiring extensive user input. The controller autonomously completes data processing tasks and presents finalized designs for approval, eliminating the need for manual data entry and processing while preserving manufacturing precision
2Manufacturing precision
If traditional three-dimensional CAD software is used for prosthesis design, then prosthesis can be manufactured with precision, but the interface requires complex data input which increases resource consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and removes complex data input requirements from the user interface. Instead of requiring users to input extensive data, the controller automatically processes three-dimensional oral data and generates designs, presenting only essential confirmation options to the user, thereby reducing interface complexity while maintaining design precision
Solution Approach 2:
The controller acts as an intermediary that automatically handles complex data processing between the three-dimensional scanner and the user interface. It processes oral data, generates prosthesis designs, and presents simplified options to users, eliminating the need for users to directly manage complex data input while ensuring precision is maintained
3Adaptability or versatility
If more data input options are provided in the user interface, then prosthesis design can be more comprehensive, but the amount of data the user must input increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically gathering and processing comprehensive oral data without requiring users to input additional information. The controller autonomously completes comprehensive design analysis based on three-dimensional scan data, maintaining design comprehensiveness while eliminating the need for users to provide extensive data input

AI summary
A method for providing a user interface for manufacturing a prosthesis includes identifying teeth from three-dimensional oral data of a patient, displaying a target tooth for a prosthesis manufacturing among the teeth on a screen in a selectable state by a user, displaying a first wheel menu for generation of the prosthesis for the target tooth for dental work or data removal operation, and displaying a first tool menu providing items for the generation of the prosthesis corresponding to the target tooth for dental work on the screen.
