Prodways believes that through automated processes and a consistent, proven ecosystem, thousands of invisible aligners can be produced every day.Regardless of the size of the customer’s laboratory, there is a set of integrated workflows that suits the customer’s business needs.3D printingplan. And it can achieve high cost-effectiveness while maintaining high-quality standards.

Digital workflow solutions start from a complete software system

Behind every three-dimensional model, there is the figure of software, which plays the role of model creation, and through industrial3D printingThe machine communicates with the contact points at every stage from design to production. Prodways digital workflow software roughly consists of three main steps:

1. Scanning: Customers can scan internally or through an intraoral scanner to create data, which is then processed by the software.

2. Design: The software allows customers to create what they will usestl file, Or outsource this work to a dedicated design center.

3. Manufacturing: manufacturing products or cooperating with third-party manufacturers.

Prodways’ solution enables the exchange of correct data through interconnected software to ensure the traceability of the production of each aligner. Through intelligent simulation, learning and optimization, to ensure the best craftsmanship of each orthosis in the production process. Therefore, software is the foundation of the client’s workflow, and it allows the client to:

• Optimize equipment production effect
• Improve the operational efficiency of dental clinics and laboratories
• Produce the most efficient and accurate orthodontic products
• Improve the efficiency of collaboration and communication between teams (such as 3D models, design models, slicing process models, etc.) to avoid risks and errors caused by ineffective communication.

3Shape is an efficient CAD/CAM software that improves the automation of the entire digital orthodontic workflow; it is also part of the proven ecosystem of Prodways technology, which saves time in setting up the workflow.

As a manufacturing execution system (MES), Oqton deeply integrates Prodways digital production equipment to support users in clinics or

Plan printing and production tasks, trace product production processes and actions in environments such as laboratories.

At the same time, Oqton supports CAM automatic data preparation in the true sense:

• Automatic dental model restoration reduces the complexity of scanning and design operations
• Intelligent shell extraction can effectively reduce the material consumed in subsequent printing and reduce the printing time while ensuring the quality and accuracy requirements of the model.
• Production information marking supports direct access to production management information for marking, such as case ID, CRM system ID, etc.
• Optimized automatic layout, optimized for Prodways models, to ensure print quality while minimizing printing time and maximizing the number of printed parts
• Fully automatic multi-version typesetting provides automatic data preparation for the entire process of importing parts, automatic typesetting, and automatic plate changing after the row is full.
• Production traceability report facilitates manual or RFID automatic sorting

While improving production efficiency, a complete closed-loop information link of “scanning-design-CAM document data preparation-printing-finished product” is constructed to provide comprehensive production traceability for product quality assurance.

Prodways of stable quality 3D printingmachine

In Prodways’ plan, through professional solutions and industrialized mass production, customers can produce at a lower unit cost, shorten production time, and obtain better customer satisfaction.

From scanning to production, the entire value chain is interoperable.Customers can get accurate and repeatable quality, and now they can get better treatments that were previously considered too complicated to be performed.

Through digital workflow, customers can work smarter and more efficiently, and help transform the work of laboratory technicians, and they can focus more on value-added tasks, and develop and3D printingRelated new skills.

And the design, with the passage of time, its wear and tear can still be kept within a very small range. It reduces operating costs without sacrificing speed and quality, thereby achieving high-volume printing while reducing the cost of each component.

A proven network of partners used to improve customers’ digital workflows. It is very important to choose the right solution for the client’s laboratory to optimize the overall digital workflow.

Software and3D printingThe interconnection and intercommunication between hardware such as computers is of utmost importance. Choosing a complete digital dental workflow with a network of partners is a strategic advantage. Many production problems can be solved through the perfect coordination of software and hardware. Together with Oqton and 3Shape, Prodways also cooperates with Hamer (thermoforming and blister packaging machine) and Digital Dental (correction cutting solution) to provide customers with the best, end-to-end complete digital orthodontic production process solutions. Help customers reduce downtime, reduce production costs, assist technicians to improve production efficiency, and gain the first opportunity of the digital orthodontic track.
