3Shape Design Outsourcing

3Shape design work, outsourced to a team that works in 3Shape Dental System every day.

Send your scan files and case instructions — get native 3Shape construction files back in 1-6 hours depending on case type, at a flat rate with unlimited revisions.

$10-$375 by case type 1-6 hrs typical turnaround Native 3Shape construction files

Every case type, native 3Shape construction files.

One design partner for the full range of work your lab sends through 3Shape.

Everything below is designed inside 3Shape Dental System itself — not modeled elsewhere and converted on export. That matters because a native construction file keeps your lab's own editing options intact: you can still open the case, adjust a margin, or tweak contact tightness in 3Shape after delivery, the same as if one of your own designers had built it. An STL-only handoff doesn't give you that. If your lab runs a specific 3Shape module set (Implant Studio, Full Denture, Appliance Designer), mention it when you submit a case so the file structure matches what your team already opens day to day.

Designing to your lab's 3Shape preferences, not a generic default

3Shape gives every lab room to design the same case type differently. We match yours.

✓ Margin style and cement gap set to your lab's usual values, not 3Shape's defaults
✓ Contact tightness and anatomy style (full anatomical vs. reduced-for-porcelain) matched to your case notes
✓ Occlusal clearance verified against your stated minimums before a case is marked done
✓ A one-time design preference sheet applied automatically to every case after the first

The first case or two from any new lab usually comes with a short round of calibration — that's expected, and it's what the unlimited-revision policy is for. Once your preferences are documented, later cases come back matching them from the first version, not the third.

3Shape design FAQ

Native 3Shape construction files by default, so the case stays fully editable on your end — STL is available too if that's what you'd rather receive.

We stay current with the latest stable 3Shape release and can accommodate a specific version on request — note it when you submit a case.

Yes — send a design preference sheet (margin style, contact tightness, anatomy preferences) once and we'll design to it on every case going forward.

Crown & bridge, implant (custom abutment and crown-over-abutment), full-arch/All-on-X, removable/denture design, and digital smile design.

1-2 hours for most case types, 4-6 hours for full-arch/All-on-X. Same-hour rush is available as a paid add-on.

Yes — cases are designed using the same 3Shape modules your lab would use for that case type, so the file structure matches what your team opens internally.

Expect a short calibration period on the first case or two while we learn your margin, contact, and anatomy preferences — unlimited revisions cover that. Once documented, later cases match from the first version.
