The facebow comes from the iPhone. Everything else stays as it is.
The practice scans with the digital-Facebow app. The lab receives the case with the free DCAD-Inbox program and hands it to exocad or 3Shape in the correct orientation. DCAD-X QM checks printed models and parts by scan.

What you keep.
- Your lab
- digital-Facebow is not tied to any lab. The practice chooses its own lab. Dentsbay makes the software; it is not the lab you have to send to.
- Your CAD
- exocad and 3Shape stay. DCAD-Inbox delivers the face scan into them in the correct orientation, without rework and without double entry.
- Your data
- Scans and patient data stay on the iPhone and in the lab. Whatever passes through the server is encrypted and deleted after pickup.
