Technology

The digital laboratory, end to end

3Shape on the design station, F8 on the scan plate, EPAX on the print bench, and exocad or Blender when the case needs a second path.

3Shape Dental System

Primary CAD environment for crown and bridge, removable, and implant studios — Smile Design, virtual articulators, and Automate-assisted anterior design.

Desktop scanning

3Shape F8 lab scanner for models and dies, plus intraoral intake from iTero, Medit, Dexis, DS Core, Shining 3D, and DOF Freedom into 3Shape watch folders.

5-axis milling

Zirconia, PMMA, and wax discs on 5-axis mills including the Versamill 5X400, with CAM through hyperDENT and related toolpaths.

3D printing

EPAX resin printers for models, try-ins, surgical guides, and patterns — a digital path that still ends at a well-finished restoration.

exocad

Second CAD path for full-anatomic design, tooth libraries, and cases that need a different design environment than 3Shape.

Blender for Dental

Mesh cleanup, bases, hollowing, and sculpting when a scan or printed model needs work before it goes to mill or print.

Implant platforms

Scan-body libraries and restorative design across the systems that routinely land on a Metro Detroit bench — plus analog-free workflows when the scan is clean.
