Exocad Design Servicefor Dental Laboratories
Technical Exocad-based dental CAD design for laboratories — from crowns and bridges to implant restorations, full-arch cases, digital wax-ups and other restorative workflows.
Send the available case data and laboratory instructions. We design the restoration within an Exocad-based workflow, review key design parameters and return the approved digital design for integration into your production process.
Technical Exocad Workflow
Exocad design built around your laboratory requirements
Each case begins with the available digital records, restoration type and laboratory instructions. These inputs define the design objectives before the restoration is developed in the Exocad workflow.
The laboratory remains responsible for final approval and manufacturing. CuspCAD focuses on the CAD stage: developing the digital restoration, communicating design questions when needed and preparing the approved design for the laboratory's downstream production workflow.
Exocad Design Applications
Dental CAD cases supported by our digital design workflow
Workflow
From digital case files to approved CAD design
Send the case
Send the available digital case files together with the restoration type and laboratory instructions.
Exocad design
The case is designed within an Exocad-based digital workflow according to the submitted requirements.
Review
Your laboratory reviews the design and communicates any required adjustments before final approval.
Final delivery
Approved digital design files are delivered back to your laboratory for integration into your production workflow.
Laboratory Integration
Designed around your laboratory's requirements
Case instructions remain central to the workflow. Restoration type, design preferences and available digital records are reviewed before design so the result can fit more naturally into the laboratory's existing production process.
Communication and revisions remain available before final delivery when adjustments are required.
Digital Quality Review
Key checks before final delivery
Technical Workflow
From case data to a laboratory-approved digital design
Exocad design is not only about creating restoration geometry. The workflow starts with the available case information and ends with a design reviewed against the laboratory's requirements before final delivery.
Digital records and instructions
The available scan data, restoration type and laboratory instructions provide the basis for the CAD workflow. Additional case-specific information can be included when relevant to the requested restoration.
Restoration-specific CAD review
Design considerations vary by case and can include margins, morphology, emergence profile, proximal contacts, occlusal relationships, available clearance and restoration thickness.
Laboratory review before production
The laboratory can review the proposed design and communicate required adjustments. After approval, the final digital design is returned for integration into the laboratory's own production workflow.
FAQ
Exocad Design Service FAQ
Which cases can CuspCAD design in an Exocad-based workflow?
CuspCAD supports crowns and bridges, implant restorations, full-arch and All-on-X cases, veneers, inlays and onlays, digital wax-ups, splints, digital models and selected removable workflows.
What information should we send with an Exocad design case?
Send the available digital case files together with the restoration type and laboratory instructions. Additional case-specific information can be included when relevant to the requested restoration.
What is reviewed before an Exocad design is delivered?
Depending on the case, the digital review can include margins and finish lines, morphology and emergence profile, proximal contacts, occlusal relationships, available clearance, restoration thickness and overall design consistency.
Can our laboratory request design adjustments before final delivery?
Yes. The laboratory can review the proposed design and communicate required adjustments before final approval and delivery.
Does CuspCAD manufacture the restorations?
No. CuspCAD focuses on digital CAD design. The dental laboratory retains control of final approval, manufacturing, material selection and its production workflow.
Where is CuspCAD based?
CuspCAD is based in Portugal and provides remote Exocad-based dental CAD design support to laboratories in Portugal and across Europe.
