Technology
Two CAD platforms rather than one, a mill floor and a print floor, and an intake that opens whatever your scanner exports. Nothing here is proprietary to us and nothing here locks you in: a laboratory that requires you to buy its scanner is selling hardware, not restorations.
The stack
01
We are scanner-agnostic. If your system can export it, we can open it — and if it cannot, we will tell you inside the review window rather than three days later.
6 platforms
Exports accepted from every major intraoral platform
1 platform
Guided surgery planning and implant position verification
02
Two design platforms, not one — so a case is designed in whichever environment gives the better result rather than whichever we happen to own.
2 platforms
Crown & bridge, implant, removable and full-arch design
1 platform
Facially driven aesthetic design and patient presentation
2 platforms
Guide design and prosthetically driven implant positioning
03
Five-axis wet and dry milling alongside a print floor, so each restoration is made by the process that suits its material rather than the one that suits our schedule.
4 platforms
Five-axis milling of zirconia, glass ceramic, PMMA, titanium and cobalt-chrome
3 platforms
Models, dies, guides, splints, try-ins and printed denture components
2 platforms
Zirconia sintering, ceramic firing and lithium disilicate pressing
04
Nothing ships on the assumption that the file was right. Every unit is checked against the design it came from.
1 platform
Milled and sintered units re-scanned and compared against the approved design
1 platform
Seating, contacts and occlusion confirmed on a physical model before finishing
1 platform
Every aesthetic case photographed under controlled light and attached to the case file
At the bench
Margin visibility, adjacent and opposing capture, bite registration, scan-body seating and clearance are checked before anything else happens.
A technician designs the restoration — contacts, occlusion, emergence, connector cross-sections — and records the design file against the case.
Milled from a batch-traceable blank or printed on a validated resin, with the lot number recorded to the case.
Sintering, staining, glazing or hand layering, then polishing to a surface that will not abrade the opposing dentition.
Fit verified, occlusion checked on the model, shade photographed, materials recorded to the case, then packed.
Your data
01
The prescription form requires only your own chart reference. A patient name is optional — supply it and it prints on the pouch label so your front desk can match a delivery without opening it; leave it out and the case travels under your reference alone. We never ask for dates of birth, addresses, insurance or payer identifiers, or medical history beyond what the restoration requires.
02
Scan files move over TLS and are stored encrypted. Access is scoped to your practice — no other account on the platform can list, open or download your cases.
03
Design files and scans are retained so a restoration can be remade from the original data. You can request deletion of a case's source files at any time, and the audit record of the case is kept without them.
04
Who opened a case, who changed its status, who downloaded which file, and when. The timeline you see is the audit record, not a summary of it.
The full text, including retention periods and sub-processors, is on the privacy page.
Intake formats
.stl
Universal open mesh — every scanner exports it
.ply
Open mesh with colour and texture data
.obj
Open mesh, commonly paired with a texture map
.dcm
3Shape native, carries margin lines and metadata
.zip
Full case export from any scanner portal
.3oxz
3Shape case archive
.dxd
exocad project
Scans only
We are a fully digital laboratory. Impressions and stone models are not accepted — a case needs a scan attached before it can start.
