RPD production has long been one of the most time and labor-intensive workflows in the dental lab, but it doesn't have to be. See how this new fully digital approach takes you from design to snap assembly in a fraction of the time, cutting equipment and labor requirements by two-thirds while delivering consistent, functional results on every case.
Daniel Portal (exocad), Fatih Arikcan (Atlix), and Adrienne Slevin (Stratasys) walk through the complete TrueSnap workflow live, showing how labs can go 98% digital with RPD production with confidence. Whether you're new to digital RPDs or looking to streamline an existing process, the session covers how to increase capacity and take on more volume without adding headcount.
