CAD/CAM software integrations

New integrations with exocad, 3Shape Dental System, and other CAD software streamline the handoff from case intake to digital design.

Design workflows just got smoother. Today we’re announcing deep integrations with leading CAD/CAM software that connect case management with digital design.

Supported CAD platforms:

  • exocad DentalCAD: Push cases to exocad with prescription data, receive designs back
  • 3Shape Dental System: Seamless case flow from TRIOS scans through design
  • Dental Wings DWOS: Bi-directional sync for implant and prosthetic cases
  • Open Export: Standard file formats work with any CAD system

How the integration works:

  1. Case arrives in GuideLab with scan files and prescription
  2. Assign to designer and push to CAD software with one click
  3. Design in your CAD with full case context available
  4. Sync back to GuideLab when design is complete
  5. Continue workflow through manufacturing and delivery

Benefits:

  • No duplicate data entry between systems
  • Case context travels with the design file
  • Track time spent in design stage
  • Complete audit trail from scan to final design

Design tracking:

GuideLab now tracks design stages:

  • Design assigned
  • Design in progress
  • Design review/approval
  • Ready for manufacturing

See which cases are waiting for design attention and which are ready to manufacture.

Getting started:

Configure your CAD integration in Settings → Integrations. Each platform has specific setup instructions—our support team is ready to help.

CAD integrations are available now for all GuideLab labs.
