Abstract: A system for performing the inspection of a concrete block includes a conveyor, a weighing module and a scanning module. The conveyor extends along a conveying axis and conveys a support plate with the concrete block supported thereon. The weighing module weighs the support plate with the concrete block supported thereon. The scanning module includes a scanner scanning the upper surface of the concrete block and the upper surface of the support plate. The scanner is displaceable along a scanning axis and has a scanning range covering an entirety of an upper surface of the concrete block supported on the support plate and a section of the upper surface of the support plate extending from at least two consecutive lower edges of the concrete block supported on the support plate. A method performs the inspection of a concrete block.

Abstract: A model of the dental restoration is shaped in-vivo on the patient by the dentist. The model is then scanned in the dentists office using a 3D optical scanner. A 3D graphic representation of the model is obtained from the scanner using a computer. The computer is used to convert the 3D graphic representation of the model into a milling path for milling the dental restoration in a block of durable dental restoration material having known dimensions. A mill, also present in the dentists office, mills the dental restoration from the block using the milling path while the patient is waiting. The dentist can then take the milled dental restoration and apply it to the patient in the same, single visit.
