VCAD / DIGITAL WORKFLOW

One Digital Workflow. From Case to Production.

Connect case submission, digital validation, CAD design, approval, manufacturing, quality control and delivery through a structured production workflow built for dental laboratories and dental practices.

01 — CONNECTED PRODUCTION

More Than Sending a File.

A digital dental workflow works best when every stage is connected — from the information entering the case to the files, production steps and quality checks leaving the lab.

VCAD is structured around this connected model. Case information moves through defined checkpoints instead of operating as isolated design and manufacturing tasks.

The exact workflow can be configured according to whether you use VCAD for CAD design, manufacturing or an integrated design-and-production process.

02 — WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE

Your Case Moves Through a Controlled System.

Each stage has a defined purpose: collect the right information, validate it, transform it into production data, manufacture the case and verify the output.

04 — CONTROL POINTS

Quality Control Is Built Into the Flow.

Instead of relying only on a final inspection, the workflow uses checkpoints across case intake, digital design and production.

QC / 01 INPUT

Case Data Check

Review available case information before processing begins.

QC / 02 CAD

Design Check

Review applicable design parameters before downstream production.

QC / 03 CAM

Production Check

Monitor applicable production and finishing stages.

QC / 04 FINAL

Final Review

Final output passes the applicable case review before completion.

05 — FLEXIBLE WORKFLOW

Use the Workflow Where You Need It.

You do not need to outsource every stage. VCAD can connect to selected parts of your existing digital workflow.

CAD WORKFLOW

Design Only

Keep production internally while using VCAD as external CAD capacity.

YOUR CASE → VCAD CAD → YOUR LAB

CAD DESIGN ↗

PRODUCTION WORKFLOW

Manufacturing Only

Send applicable production-ready case data into VCAD's manufacturing workflow.

YOUR FILE → VCAD MFG → OUTPUT

MANUFACTURING ↗

CONNECTED WORKFLOW

Design + Manufacturing

Connect case intake, CAD, review, manufacturing and QC through VCAD.

CASE → VCAD → OUTPUT

06 — WORKFLOW ENTRY

Different Starting Points. Same Digital Engine.

Dental laboratories and dental practices can enter the VCAD workflow at different points depending on their internal capabilities.

FOR DENTAL LABS

Connect VCAD to Your Existing Lab.

Use VCAD for CAD overflow, manufacturing, specialized production or an extended production workflow.

08 — WHY DIGITAL

Build a Workflow That Can Scale.

A structured digital workflow helps create a clearer path between incoming case data, production activities and final output.

01 CONNECTED

One Case Flow

Connect case intake, CAD, production and QC instead of treating each stage as an isolated task.

02 FLEXIBLE

Use What You Need

Outsource design, manufacturing or selected parts of the workflow.

03 CONTROLLED

Defined Checkpoints

Introduce review stages across the digital and production process.

04 SCALABLE

Extend Capacity

Add external workflow capacity as case requirements change.

09 — TEST THE WORKFLOW

Start With One Case.

Submit a sample case and evaluate how VCAD handles case intake, communication, digital processing, production and quality control before expanding the workflow.
