3D Dental Lab for Dentists, Clinics and Labs Worldwide
A direct-manufacturing 3D dental lab — no middleman, no silent sub-contracting, no surprises at hand-over. You send the case, we make the restoration.
What ASD Full Service Dental Lab Fabricate
A full-service dental laboratory handles the full range of restorative and prosthetic work under one roof — crowns, bridges, dentures, implant components, night guards, and orthodontic appliances.
Zirconia Crowns and Bridges
Full-contour, multilayer and layered zirconia — milled on dedicated dental CNC machines, sintered on validated firing profiles, hand-finished and glazed by ceramists who work zirconia every day. Design approval is staged before milling; the design-revision policy sits under Digital Workflow.
PFM Crowns and Metal Framework
PFM remains a reliable choice for posterior high-load prescriptions and for cases where price matters. Metal batches and alloy composition can be reported with the case on request.
E.max and Glass Ceramic
E.max crowns, veneers, inlays and onlays for anterior work where translucency and layer effects matter. Custom staining, micro-texture and incisal characterisation are noted on the same case sheet.
Implant Restorations
Custom titanium bases, screw-retained crowns, angulated screw channel (ASC) abutments, multi-unit abutment (MUA) prosthetics, and All-on-X hybrid bridges. Your implant library stays on file — revisions match the original exactly, not “close to” the original.
Removable
Full dentures, partial dentures, flexible dentures, repairs and relines. For the definitive denture base — where longevity matters — we prefer conventional processing. Additive manufacturing goes to copy dentures, immediate dentures, wax try-ins and denture teeth try-outs. Honest split, not a one-size promise.
Night Guards, Retainers and Clear Aligners
Occlusal splints, bite guards, retainers and clear aligners are the everyday high-volume work of a modern 3d printing dental lab. We print with dental-grade resins, wash and post-cure to the resin maker’s protocol, then verify thickness at multiple points with a caliper, check extension and edge finish, and test retention on the stone model before packing. Consistent, batch to batch — which is the whole point of printing these.
3D Printing Dental Laboratory Workflow
You scan or take an impression. We do the rest. Every case in the plant moves through the same eight steps.
- Case intake. Data or impression received; case bound to a unique case ID.
- Prescription check. A case coordinator verifies tooth positions, shade, occlusion and — where applicable — implant brand / platform / connection / diameter before design starts.
- CAD design. One free design plus two free revisions per case; preview sent by email or the shared case chat for approval.
- Fabrication. The case is routed to whichever line matches the indication — dental CNC milling or additive manufacturing — using validated firing profiles, resin cure protocols, and material handling that stay inside the FDA’s baseline expectations for 3D printing of medical devices.
- Manual finishing. Layering, staining, glazing, polishing, denture processing — done by ceramists and denture technicians dedicated to their category.
- Quality checks. See Quality Control below for the stages and the sign-off rule.
- Packaging & double-check. Each screw or accessory bagged separately, label carries the case reference, two-person outbound check.
- Ship & track. Tracking number the same day. A coordinator follows the parcel — worldwide shipping via DHL, FedEx, UPS and SPIDER (France); duties and remote-area surcharges follow the incoterm on the invoice.
File formats and scanner support
STL, PLY, OBJ, DCM and 3Shape native scans are accepted directly. Common intra-oral scanners are supported through their standard export or platform integration — Trios (3Shape), iTero, Medit Link, Shining 3D, Dexis, Primescan, DS Core, Ori, Panda. A shared link or WeTransfer works when your scanner’s platform is not on that list.
3D Dental Lab Quality Control, Remake and Aftercare
Three-stage QC with an independent release — this is where the QC promise gets substantive.
The stages
Incoming check verifies case data, prescription, model and part completeness before production. In-process spot checks watch fit, margin, contour and connector thickness between operations. Final release is signed off by a QC technician who does not fabricate the case they release — under microscope, with digital scan comparison where the case demands it. If it fails, it is remade automatically. Pre-packing photos are available on request.
Free remake — fixed prosthesis
Open margin, open contact, high occlusion, non-seating crown, wrong shade, obvious aesthetic defect, unsatisfactory contour.
Free remake — removable
Base not seating, warping, poorly designed clasps, unsatisfactory intra-oral aesthetics, wrong occlusion, wrong gum shade.
Not free
Shade change requested after design approval, material change after approval, or “please try your best” cases where the original impression was not clinically usable.
Rework logistics
Report within 24 hours of receipt with case number, patient reference, product, reason, and photos. Physical goods must be returned; digital goods return at the case coordinator’s discretion. Rework is prioritised and typically ships in 3–5 business days. Shipping cost and third-party implant parts are not covered by free remake. If a case cannot be resolved after multiple attempts, a refund is available.

Why Choose ASD 3D Dental Lab
ASD is a direct-manufacturing 3d printing dental laboratory founded in 2012. Full-service means what it says: CAD design, CAM milling, 3D printing, sintering, ceramic layering, staining, glazing, polishing, denture processing, packaging and shipping — all handled on our own production lines, not routed to a third lab.
The whole workflow is one address
CAD, milling, printing, sintering, ceramic work, denture processing, packaging and shipping all sit inside the same building system — a 3d printing dental lab that owns every step. The case does not change hands across companies, and when you ask a question about it the answer comes from the people making it.
Every commitment on this page is written as a rule
Rules survive turnover; individual reputations do not. A page that says "we are the best" will not print your crowns any faster in November.
Rush without a surcharge
Available across the catalog without a separate expedite fee — and priced that way on the invoice, not as a discount that disappears at the next price update. The delivery-date guarantee and the rules around it live in the FAQ.
You get an hour, not a day
Inside working hours, technical questions on a case are answered within an hour; a case manager is assigned before your first submission. Response-time discipline is the single fastest way to tell a production partner from a routing desk.
Traceability is a feature, not a promise
Every case, every technician, every batch, every check — bound to the case ID and available on request. See Certifications & Traceability for what an audit trail looks like.
You can verify without us
The registrations named on this page are on public databases. That is a design choice — the goal is to remove trust from the sales conversation so the sales conversation is about your case.
3D Dental Lab Factory Tour
Three ways to see the operation before you commit a case.
- Video walk-through. A case coordinator walks you through the production line by video call, department by department, on your schedule. English-language walk-throughs are the default.
- On-site visit. You are welcome to visit our production sites in person. Contact your sales manager to schedule; we handle the itinerary, you handle the flights.
- Documentary audit. Full supplier-onboarding questionnaires, quality agreements and remote QMS audits are supported. Custom-device declarations, material certificates and check records can be shared under confidentiality.
What you will see on any of the three: CAD stations · milling floor with dental CNC · zirconia sintering furnaces · dental 3D printing bay with wash-and-cure post-processing · ceramic & metal department · removable department · packaging and outbound check.
Environment, Safety and Sustainability
A 3d printing dental laboratory produces waste, and that is treated as a responsibility here.
Liquid resin is fully cured under light before disposal; contaminated solvent is collected in sealed, labelled containers and handed to a licensed hazardous-waste operator — nothing enters the drain. Zirconia disks and metal off-cuts are handed to a licensed recycling operator. Local extraction, room ventilation and periodic air-quality monitoring are in place across CAM, printing, ceramic and denture areas; PPE is standard equipment. Safety datasheets are kept on file for every resin, alloy and solvent, and staff training records are maintained.
Start With This 3D Dental Lab
Send a test case, request a quote, or book a video walk-through of the plant. A case manager is assigned to your account before your first submission — that person is your single point of contact for prescriptions, design approvals, shipping and everything in between.
3D Dental Lab FAQ
Additive manufacturing — SLA, DLP, LCD/MSLA — is used to build models, dies, guides, splints, denture bases and try-ins directly from an intra-oral scan or a scanned impression. A modern 3d dental lab pairs printing with CAD/CAM milling so each indication uses the technology that fits it: milling for load-bearing restorations, printing for geometry-rich short-life parts. The American Dental Association’s practice-technology resource is a solid neutral primer if a team member is new to the vocabulary.
Both. First cases and pilot cases are welcome for a new account. A long-term single-unit-only account is not practical — international shipping economics do not work at that volume — so once past the trial the usual pattern is consolidating to a weekly parcel.
The clock starts the day a complete case reaches us — scan or impression + prescription + material choice + implant details where applicable. Design approval, missing information and waiting on your reply do not count against committed lab time; the clock resumes on your confirmation. Lead times are in business days, not calendar days. International transit, customs clearance and remote-area last-mile sit outside lab turnaround.
Any case type qualifies for rush service at no additional charge. Flag it before or after submission — a delivery date is confirmed in writing, not “as soon as we can”. If a documented reason ever prevents us from hitting the confirmed date, you hear about it before the original date, not after.
They extend it by the same number of days as the holiday itself, and the calendar is published in advance so a full-year plan can factor it in. No case is quietly stalled — anything already in progress before a holiday is either finished before the break or picked up on the first working day back, whichever your prescription indicates.
Three ways: a video walk-through with a case coordinator, an on-site visit, or a documentary audit (supplier-onboarding questionnaire + QMS documents under confidentiality). The audit trail available for any released case includes the technician, the equipment, the material batch and every check record.
Almost certainly. Most mainstream systems (Straumann, Nobel Biocare, MIS and equivalents) plus a long tail of regional brands are supported through their scan libraries. Attach a photo of the implant packaging label with the first case; that pins down brand, platform, connection and diameter without ambiguity.
No. The catalog splits by indication, not by preferred technology — a single account can send a mixed weekly batch of printed splints, milled zirconia crowns, printed models and a conventionally processed denture, and each item is routed to the line that fits it. That is the point of running both technologies under one roof rather than picking a side.
Yes. Design-only, production-only and full production are all available. Design-only work can be turned around inside 24 hours, which is the reason a number of partner labs use us as an overnight design bench across time zones.
Yes. A per-case material report can accompany the shipment on request, matching the trace fields listed in Certifications & Traceability against the specific units you receive. Substituting a material behind the customer’s back is not something we do; any change goes through you first.
You do. Original patient records, scans and any files you provide belong to your clinic or lab. Only a usage right for that specific case is held on our side — the data is not reused for training software, for other customers’ cases, or for marketing.
English is standard for case conferences, design-approval chats, Custom-Made Device declarations, material safety datasheets and product labels. Quality agreements, confidentiality agreements and supplier-preferred variant wording are supported on request.
Test cases are welcome — a lot of new customers start with one. Pricing is quoted per case sheet on request; a written quote is typically returned inside one working day so the trial can move without stalling on paperwork.
