Generative Crown Design Workflow for a Digital Dental Lab
Let's Connect
Problem
Manual CAD design queues
A regional digital dental lab serving around 300 practices was bottlenecked by manual CAD queues. Each crown took a technician 30 to 40 minutes to design, turnaround stretched to six working days in busy weeks, and senior designers spent most of their day on routine single-unit cases instead of complex restorations.
Solution
Generative design, technician approved
We built a generative design workflow in which a model trained on the lab's own library of approved crowns proposes anatomically fitted geometry for each incoming intraoral scan. Technicians review and adjust every proposal in a browser-based 3D viewer before releasing it to milling, and each approved case feeds back into the next training round.
Measurable Impact
What changed after launch
Average design time per single-unit crown reduced from 35 minutes to under 9
Case turnaround shortened from 6 working days to 3 across the 300-practice client base
Design team throughput increased 2.1x within 5 months without additional hires
Remake rate from fit issues fell from 4.8% to 2.9% after the feedback loop went live
