Crown and bridge CAD design is the highest-volume workflow in most dental labs, which is exactly where a stretched in-house team costs you the most in missed turnaround. Outsourcing crown and bridge CAD design to a dedicated partner means your lab can accept more cases every week without carrying the cost of another full-time designer.

Why labs outsource crown and bridge CAD design
Crown and bridge cases arrive in volume, and volume is unpredictable. A single in-house designer can only process so many units a day, so when case load spikes — a new referring clinic, a busy season, a designer on leave — backlog builds fast. Outsourcing crown and bridge CAD design gives your lab a release valve: send the overflow, keep your in-house team focused on same-day or specialty work, and stop turning away cases because of capacity.
Working daily in exocad and 3Shape Dental System across many labs also means our technicians see edge cases — unusual preparations, complex margins, multi-material bridges — far more often than an in-house designer handling a single lab's case mix.
What's included in every crown and bridge CAD design case
Every submission returns an editable design file plus a production-ready, milling-ready STL, so your team can make a last-minute adjustment without sending the case back to us. We also include a margin and contact report with each delivery, so your milling technician knows exactly what was checked before the file left our hands.
Full-contour and layered zirconia, PFM, e.max and temporary restorations are all designed to your prescription, from single units to bridges up to fourteen units. Larger full-arch cases are routed to our dedicated full-arch design workflow for the most predictable result — see our full-arch CAD design page for that service.
Materials, quality control and turnaround
Every case is checked for margin line accuracy, cement gap, interproximal contact strength, and static and dynamic occlusion against the opposing arch before it is marked ready — the same checklist a senior in-house designer would run, applied consistently to every single unit we deliver.
Standard turnaround is 8 hours for single to three-unit cases, extending to 15 hours for complex multi-unit bridges. Revisions within the scope of the original prescription are unlimited, because getting the margin and contact right matters more than counting reasonable adjustment requests against you.
Who crown and bridge CAD design outsourcing is for
This service fits labs that need overflow capacity during busy weeks, clinics with an in-house scanner but no CAD designer on staff, and DSOs standardizing design quality across multiple locations. Send your first scan through the client portal and most single-unit cases are back in your queue within the same business day.
Getting started without disrupting your workflow
Most new accounts start with a single trial case rather than committing to volume up front. That lets your team evaluate margin quality, contact strength and turnaround speed against your own internal standard before deciding how much case load to route through the portal. If the first case meets your bar, scaling up is simply a matter of submission frequency — the same review and QC process applies whether you send one unit or fifty a week.
For labs already running exocad or 3Shape in-house, handoff is straightforward: export the scan in your usual format, attach the prescription, and our technicians pick up from there using the same file conventions your team already works with. Nothing about your existing digital workflow needs to change to start sending cases, and your first design is typically back in your queue well within the standard turnaround window.
