Optimize the crown and abutment together for manufacturing and fit before CAM. CoDesign helps reduce or eliminate chipping, manual grinding, and rework after milling. [Where DentSolver fits ↓](https://dentsolv.com#platform) For dental laboratories and manufacturers. What it solves ## Less scrap. Less manual grinding. 01 ### Reduce chipping and scrap. Optimize critical edges and margins to reduce chipping, scrap, and rework after milling. 02 ### Minimize or eliminate fit grinding. Optimize the crown–abutment fit to reduce or remove manual fit grinding after milling. 03 ### Less outer-surface grinding and texturing. Optimize outer geometry to reduce manual surface grinding and texturing after milling. 04 ### Controlled minimum thickness. Adjust and optimize minimum thickness while reviewing the fit of both components. Where DentSolver fits ## After design. Before manufacturing. Keep your CAD and CAM workflow. DentSolver optimizes geometry, fit, and minimum thickness between them, with a shared review of the crown and abutment. 1. 01 / Design ### Your dental CAD Export your 3Shape or exocad case. 2. 02 / Prepare + review ### DentSolver Prepare the pair with CoDesign. Review and accept the result. 3. 03 / Manufacture ### Your CAM workflow Receive the accepted component files for manufacturing. The DentSolver products ## The right preparation for your case. Prepare the crown and abutment together with CoDesign, work on an individual component, or separate a supported one-piece design.

Process an existing abutment and coping/crown as one case. Compare the original, aligned, and updated geometry before accepting the paired output. - Margin, edge, and channel options - Transparency and section view - Separate abutment and crown mill folders [See the CoDesign workflow ↓](https://dentsolv.com#codesign) ![Translucent blue crown surrounding a metal abutment for CoDesign review](https://dentsolv.com/hs-fs/hubfs/product-codesign.webp?width=960&height=765&name=product-codesign.webp) Individual abutments ### Check the design. Prepare the margin. Inspect and prepare an abutment design before CAM. Review the processed geometry before accepting the result. - Overall thickness and angle checks - Margin curve creation and checking - Margin edge rounding and split surfaces [Discuss your abutment workflow ↗](https://dentsolv.com#contact) ![Abutment geometry with a purple upper surface and highlighted margin](https://dentsolv.com/hs-fs/hubfs/product-abutment.webp?width=960&height=908&name=product-abutment.webp) Individual restorations ### Controlled thickness. Prepared edges. Prepare an individual coping or crown with controls for the body, margin, and screw channel. - Body and margin thickness checks - Margin width or thickness adjustment - Inner and outer edge rounding [Discuss your crown workflow ↗](https://dentsolv.com#contact) ![Coping and crown geometry with its inner surface and margin visible](https://dentsolv.com/hs-fs/hubfs/product-crown.webp?width=690&height=709&name=product-crown.webp) One-piece designs ### One design in. Two components out. Separate a supported 3Shape one-piece design into an abutment for a pre-milled blank and a crown for zirconia manufacturing. - Separate abutment and crown geometry - Generated alternatives for review - Crown channel selection Available to authorized accounts.

BridgeTR is coming soon. BridgeSections is coming soon. The CoDesign workflow ## Prepare the pair. See the result together. Optimize for manufacturing and fit. Review both components before accepting the result. 1. 01 ### Bring in the pair Import the abutment and coping/crown with their supporting case files. 2. 02 ### Optimize and inspect Apply the geometry and thickness options. Compare the changes and inspect the pair's fit with transparency and section view. 3. 03 ### Accept and deliver Select the result and send the abutment and crown to their respective mill folders.
