ABSTRACT:
In a method of processing a digitized workpiece (1), especially a three-dimensional model of a dental prosthetic item to be produced therefrom, by altering the surface data of the workpiece by means of a tool which acts on a local zone of action (3) on the surface (2), a change in height of said surface (2) is effected in said zone of action (3) of said tool when the tool is applied to said surface, the said zone of action of said tool covering a modified region (5) showing a substantially constant change in height (t) over the zone of action (3) and also a transition region (4), in which the surface of the modified region (5) merges into the surface surrounding said zone of action (3).
