exocad CAD
exocad crown, veneer & bridge design outsourcing
Remote exocad crown, veneer and bridge design for labs and clinics, priced per unit. You send scans, I return clean, milling-ready files, designed and reviewed by Nico personally in exocad. No exocad license or gamer-spec PC needed on your side, fully white-label, direct-to-designer. From $22/unit, 24h rush available, and you pay after you approve.
How does outsourcing exocad design work?
Your bench keeps the mill and the relationship. I become the CAD seat behind it, exocad-native and restoratively driven.
01
Send the scan
Upload the intraoral STL or lab-scanned model, plus the prescription: shade, material, margin notes, mill or printer. A photo of the case helps.
02
I design in exocad
Crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays and bridges built to your material and mill, with proper margins, contacts and occlusion. Anatomy over auto-morph.
03
You review
You get a preview to approve. Revisions until the design is clinically right, at no extra charge.
04
Milling-ready files
Approved cases ship as clean STL or CAM-ready output for your mill or printer. 24h rush when you flag it.
What does a unit cost?
Per-unit pricing, from $22/unit. The final rate is set per case by complexity, bridge span and volume, so a splinted full-arch and a single molar are never billed the same.
Single crowns and veneers sit at the entry rate. Bridges are priced by unit count. Recurring lab volume gets a standing per-unit rate so your costing is predictable. You approve the quote before I start, and pay after you approve the design.
Can you cover my overflow weeks?
Yes. Overflow capacity is the core use case for most labs I work with.
When your box is full, a technician is out, or a chain of clinics dumps a heavy week on you, route the extra units to me instead of turning work away or blowing your turnaround.
You keep the account and the margin. I flex up when you spike and go quiet when you do not, so there is no idle seat, salary or software to carry between busy weeks.
Do you white-label?
Always. The design leaves under your lab's name, not mine.
Files come back unbranded and ready to drop into your workflow. Your clinics see your lab. There is no watermark, no logo, no visible third party in the chain.
You work direct-to-designer with one named person, not a ticket queue at a CAD farm, so feedback loops stay short and the standard stays consistent.
In-house exocad vs. outsourcing
The overhead of an in-house seat only pays off at steady high volume. Below that, outsourcing per unit is cheaper and more flexible.
| In-house exocad | Outsourcing to me | |
|---|---|---|
| exocad license | Annual license to buy and renew | None on your side, I carry it |
| Workstation | High-spec CAD PC to buy and maintain | No hardware needed, runs on mine |
| Capacity | Fixed to your seats and staff hours | Flexes up for overflow, down when quiet |
| Turnaround | Depends on in-house workload | 24–48h standard, 24h rush |
| Cost model | Fixed salary plus software plus hardware | Per unit, from $22, pay after approval |
FAQ
Which materials and mills do you design for?
Zirconia, lithium disilicate, PMMA, hybrid and printed. Tell me the material and machine and the file is built to those parameters, ready for your CAM.
Do I need exocad myself?
No. You do not need the exocad license or a CAD workstation. You send scans and a prescription, I handle the design and return milling-ready files.
What if I do not like the design?
You review a preview before anything ships. I revise until it is clinically right, and you only pay once you approve.
Add a CAD seat without the overhead
Send one case and see the file quality before you commit to volume. Named designer, white-label output, pay after you approve.
