Clinux PC Requirements
Chrome or MS Edge Broswer
Clinux runs over the cloud, so you will need either Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge web browser to log into the software (chairside.clinux.pro). When logging in, please use the CAD-Ray username and password you used when you purchased Clinux.
PC Specification
Clinux CAD does not use a lot of computer resources as it runs in the browser. However, the higher performance the laptop/PC, generally leads to higher performance in Clinux CAD also. At the very least, Clinux CAD should be used on a PC that is also able to smoothly operate the intraoral scanner. Also, please make sure Google Chrome (or MS Edge) are using the high-performance graphics card on your laptop/PC. Many times the browser defaults to the on-board graphics card which slows down performance.
PC and Mac
Clinux runs in either PC or Mac environments. However, Clinux Bridge (connects Clinux to milling CAMs and printer CAMs) is a Windows-only application for now (new OS-independent version coming soon).
