Dental CAD Designer; Shape Expert

Overview

Seeking an experienced Dental CAD Designer with deep expertise in 3

Shape.

• Design monolithic zirconia restorations, layered substructures, and multi-unit bridges using 3
  
  Shape.
• Perform scan cleanup, digital morphing, margin refinement, and occlusal adjustments to ensure optimal fit and function.
• Prepare and manage digital files (STL, PLY, native 3
  
  Shape formats) for milling and 3D printing, including nesting and support placement where required.
• Validate design parameters against material-specific tolerances and production constraints to minimize remakes and adjustments.
• Perform quality checks on digital designs and finished outputs to ensure marginal integrity, correct emergence profiles, and occlusal relationships.
• Collaborate with production technicians, restorative clinicians, and lab management to resolve clinical and technical issues and improve workflows.
• Maintain accurate digital records and follow laboratory quality management procedures and infection-control policies.

• Demonstrated experience designing fixed prosthetic restorations using 3
  
  Shape in a dental laboratory or clinical setting.
• Strong understanding of dental anatomy, occlusion, margin design, and restorative material behavior (including zirconia systems).
• Familiarity with digital production workflows, including CAM preparation, milling, sintering, and SLA/DLP printing considerations.
• Attention to detail, strong problem-solving skills, and ability to work within schedule and quality targets.

• Experience with laboratory quality systems, digital case management, and integration with intraoral scans and CBCT-derived data.
• Prior exposure to multiple CAD platforms and CAM tool chains, with a focus on optimizing designs for high-throughput production.

• Competitive compensation, full benefits, and relocation support as applicable.
