Ease of use and editing 3Shape Automate designs

One of the great features of Automate is that the whole user interface is browser-based. You load up your scans from your PC and receive the designs back to review from your browser. If you want to edit the design, you do it from your browser using Automate's editing tools.

Modify the design

Once you are satisfied, you approve the design, pay for it, and download it. You do not pay before you approve.

If you have not tried Automate, you can try a few cases for free. 3Shape LabCare customers get a 10% discount on all designs.

What's also great about 3Shape Automate is that it is open. You can send orders from our Dental System or Exocad software. Medit, Shining 3D, and ZirkonZahn scans can be sent by exporting them in an Exocad format. 

Conclusion

AI is under scrutiny from all sides right now. Some of it is justified. But a solution like Automate uses AI to design and support labs. Our lab customers love it.

For example, Megan Nakanishi from Nakanishi Dental Lab says, "With 3Shape Automate, we have doubled the amounts of available units to mill every day. For us, this has doubled our material efficiency and resulted in significant savings."

If you are a lab, why not try it for free? See if it helps you go home early on a Friday afternoon or when someone calls in sick or is out on vacation.

In Automate's case, AI is a great thing. Just don’t ask Sarah Connor.
