3Shape Program

(Presented by Carl Horrocks)

3Shape Dental System is a solution that lets you focus on craftsmanship and creativity while the software does the rest. No matter the size of your lab, our dental CAD/CAM software will enable you to become more productive and provide profitable services such as dentures, crown and bridge, implants, surgical guides, splints and more. 3Shape Dental System offers labs the widest range of treatment workflows, the largest suite of digital tools and libraries, integrated and intuitive workflows, and the strongest ecosystem.

Carl Horrocks will discuss the new features and updates with 3shape software, hardware, and what’s new in the removable options. During this session, we will focus on the removable design workflow. The objective is to provide your dental lab with a better understanding what is needed to add digital products to your portfolio. We will go through a step-by-step of a live demo of the denture module. You will leave with knowledge and confidence to start adding digital to your analog removable department or expand your fixed lab with removables.

Speaker Bio: Ryan McEachern

Born and raised in Southern California, Ryan started his Dental lab career in 2001 in the R&D department of a large commercial dental lab. During this time, he was heavily involved in the implementation of digital workflows including working with engineers to streamline the processes and training of the analog technicians.

In 2011 he took a job as the CAD/CAM manager of another lab in the area where his dept was responsible for producing approximately 200 - 300 units a day for the labs production floor at which time included both milling and 3D printing manufacturing processes. A couple of years later he started to work for Zubler USA on the West Coast supporting all the CAD/CAM solutions offered at the time by Zubler.

In 2014 he and his wife picked up and moved to Georgia, where he took a job running the milling department for a lab in Athens, GA. Ryan has been back with Zubler USA since the beginning of 2017 and is currently in charge of technical support for the growing line of CAD/CAM solutions.

OSHA Regulatory Standards 2020

(Sponsored by SafeLink Consulting)

Staying up to date on OSHA compliance standards without getting lost, or worse yet, getting a violation, is one of the more difficult tasks for dental laboratories these days. This is a good opportunity for you to receive the latest information about hazards, methods to prevent harm, and other OSHA standards that apply to our workplace.

Gary Morgan, CDT will bring the latest update for OSHA Standards for the dental laboratory profession.
