Dental technicians learning EXOCAD
Follow foundational exercises across tooth-borne and implant-supported restorations.
Teams exploring in-house design
Build familiarity with common design workflows and the relationship between scanning, planning and CAD.
Design foundations
Understand the tools, then apply them across cases.
Begin with models and wax-ups before progressing to splints, crowns, bridges and implant restorations.
The lesson sequence introduces different EXOCAD applications through design exercises. Later sessions extend those foundations to dentures and full-arch FP1 and FP3 designs.
