Clinux Requirements

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.

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).

Compatible IOS to Clinux

Clinux is optimized to work with the scan data from the following systems:

  • Medit i500

  • Medit i700
  • Medit i700 Wireless
