DIGITAL LAB SETUP

Build the Lab You Need Today. Scale for Tomorrow.

Whether you're starting a new dental laboratory, expanding production or upgrading an existing workflow, DDA helps connect equipment, software, materials and production support around the way your lab actually works.

DIGITAL LAB WORKFLOW

Scan. Design. Produce. Finish. Deliver.

A digital laboratory works best when each stage is planned as one production system—not as separate pieces of equipment.

1

SCAN

Receive intraoral scans or digitise conventional laboratory cases.

2

DESIGN

Design restorations and appliances using your preferred CAD workflow or external design support.

3

PRODUCE

Mill or 3D print according to the case, material and production requirement.

4

FINISH

Complete sintering, firing, staining, glazing and final finishing.

5

DELIVER

Complete quality control and return the finished case to the clinic.

CHOOSE YOUR PRODUCTION MODEL

In-House, Hybrid or Outsourced.

You don't need to bring every process in-house on day one. Choose the production model that fits your volume, team, investment and growth plan.

IN-HOUSE

Full In-House Production

Keep high-frequency design and production workflows inside your laboratory.

Maximum control over turnaround, production and workflow.
HYBRID

Your Lab + DDA Support

Keep core production in-house and use DDA Design Centre or Milling Centre for specialised, overflow or selected workflows.

Flexible capacity without bringing every process in-house.
OUTSOURCE

Supported External Production

Use DDA for selected design or production while you build volume, capability or prepare for future investment.

A practical pathway before expanding in-house production.
PLANNING THE RIGHT LAB

Build Around Your Production, Not Just the Equipment.

We look at the cases you produce, materials you use, daily capacity and future growth before recommending a digital setup.

01

Case Mix

Plan around the restorations, implant work and appliances your lab actually produces.

02

Materials

Match zirconia, PMMA, wax, lithium disilicate, titanium and other materials to the right production process.

03

Production Volume

Size the workflow around current capacity, bottlenecks and expected growth.

04

Team & Expansion

Consider operator capability, training requirements, automation and future equipment expansion.

IMPLEMENTATION & SUPPORT

From Setup to Production Support.

DDA supports equipment selection, installation, workflow and material training, technical support, plus optional Design Centre and Milling Centre production services.

01

Equipment & Software

Select and connect scanners, CAD/CAM, mills, printers, furnaces and supporting equipment.

02

Installation & Integration

Set up equipment and integrate each stage into a practical production workflow.

03

Workflow & Material Training

Train the team on equipment, production workflow, materials and finishing requirements.

04

Design & Milling Support

Use DDA Design Centre and Milling Centre when additional capacity or specialist production is required.
