Dentscape and Rapid Shape have integrated their systems, offering dental professionals a seamless path from raw case to printed restoration. Now, a case can leave the Rapid Shape workflow, be designed in Dentscape, and return directly to the same printer for production. Rapid Shape released a two-minute walkthrough of this integration on August 17.
TL;DR: An integrated design-to-print workflow means the case never leaves the loop: it goes from Rapid Shape to Dentscape and back, with no exporting, downloading, or re-importing in between.
Why does the handoff between design and print cost labs time?
This integration eliminates the tedious middleman between design and production in most workflows: exporting the finished case, locating it on a hard drive, renaming the file, and re-importing it into the printing software. For users operating a Rapid Shape printer, AI-powered design now connects directly to the equipment they already own, within the workflow they already trust.
How do you connect Dentscape to a Rapid Shape printer?
- Connect your accounts. Head to the Rapid Shape Customer Portal. Under "Design Services," select Dentscape, log in with your credentials, and authorize the connection.
- Design it in Dentscape. Crowns, models, and dies are generated as finished proposals. Review the designs, make any adjustments you want, and approve.
- Send it back and print. Within Dentscape, set Rapid Shape as your 3D printing export destination. Approved files are routed straight back to RS Print Studio — nothing lands in a messy downloads folder along the way.
The full sequence, including where to find each setting, is detailed in Rapid Shape's walkthrough.
