Scan. Design. Manufacture. All Hands-On Digital Dentistry Workshop — 10 CPD/CE Credits
Date: Saturday 21 November 2026
Time: 08:30–17:00
Location: Stamford Plaza – 111 Little Collins Street MELBOURNE
CPD: 10 hours
Course fee: Earlybird $799 (incl. materials and catering)
This intensive, fully hands-on course takes participants through the complete digital workflow, from intraoral scanning and restoration design to printing, milling, post-processing and final finishing.
This is not a day of lectures or watching someone else work. Every participant will scan, design, manufacture and finish restorations and appliances using the same equipment and processes found in a modern dental clinic or laboratory.
Throughout the day, you will work with:
- Aoralscan intraoral scanners
- UPCAD dental design software
- SHINING 3D dental printers
- UP3D wet and dry milling machines
- Dental printing, milling and finishing materials
You will complete the full scan → design → manufacture → finish workflow for:
The practical finishing sessions will cover:
- Staining and finishing a printed full-arch AOX restoration
- Staining, glazing and finishing printed crowns
- Crystallising, staining and glazing lithium disilicate crowns
- Sintering, staining and glazing zirconia crowns
- Staining and finishing printed veneers
working in groups of two, you will learn how to prepare files correctly, select the appropriate manufacturing method, set up print builds, prepare milling jobs, choose suitable materials and complete the required post-processing procedures.
The course will also cover the small but important details that determine whether an in-house workflow becomes productive or frustrating, including:
- Scan strategy and accurate data capture
- Design preparation in UPCAD
- Print orientation and support strategy
- CAM preparation and milling considerations
- Cleaning and post-curing printed restorations
- Zirconia sintering
- Lithium disilicate crystallisation
- Staining, glazing, polishing and final finishing
- Daily equipment care and workflow organisation
- Common causes of poor fit, failed prints and unsuccessful milling jobs
- Practical troubleshooting and quality-control checks
We will finish the day with a focused best-practice and troubleshooting session, covering the most common problems encountered during scanning, design, printing, milling, finishing, and how to identify the actual cause before wasting further time or materials.
By the end of the course, you will have personally completed the core stages of an in-house digital manufacturing workflow. You will leave with practical experience, repeatable processes and a clearer understanding of how to produce consistent restorations and appliances in your own clinic or laboratory.
Participants receive 10 CPD/CE credits.
