Digital impressions at the laboratory

Receive digital impressions without scattering the files

Digital impressions speed up the relationship between the dental practice and the laboratory, but they also create a new workflow to monitor: multiple platforms, files to download, documents to print, folders to file and cases to check.

The real workflow

A digital case isn’t just an STL file

Depending on the platform and the practice, a case can include several elements: scan, STL, PLY, OBJ, PDF, treatment sheet, patient information or order reference. The laboratory needs to find all of it quickly.

The repetitive operations

  • open the intraoral scan platforms;
  • identify the new cases available;
  • download the necessary files;
  • check that nothing is missing;
  • file each case in the right place.

Local organization

Good filing makes the case usable by production

A received file only has value if it lands in the right folder, with a name the team can understand and a clear reference.

01

By practitioner

Grouping cases by practice or practitioner makes daily follow-up and exchanges easier.

02

By patient

A clear patient folder reduces confusion between scans, documents and successive versions.

03

By date or case code

A stable reference makes it possible to find the right case even when several files arrive at the same time.

AutoLabFlow

Centralize reception without hiding the checks that matter

AutoLabFlow monitors the configured digital workflows, retrieves the accessible files and files them into the laboratory’s local organization. Incomplete or ambiguous cases can stay visible for review.
