Dental Lab Life: Designing a Denture Using 3Shape

In this episode of Dental Lab Life, Technical Support Specialist, Alex de Vos, goes through the denture design workflow in 3Shape 2018.

How can we design just the denture base so we then setup denture teeth to be processed onto the milled base. We need help. using 3shape for scan and design. Any help would be great James

Does it also create a separate stl for the teeth? You mentioned at the end that the software expects you to buy artificial teeth. What if you wanted to print or mill the teeth? Also, I was working with a tech and they bridged all of my teeth together when setting up the order-- I was confused because in this video you didn't do that. Lastly, there are no shaping tools to sculpt the teeth, is that not an option at all? Just wondering what you would do if the doctor wanted you to design it to match an old denture that was designed by someone else or if none of the artificial teeth libraries fit well in their mouth--how do you do that with no option to sculpt teeth? ... I'm attending your class at the end of May, trying to come as prepared as possible.

to clarify it was a Zahn tech support tech who bridged all of the teeth

Even though the description says 2017 the dental manager order form says 2018, is this an error? Also we are using 2017 but we cannot do the same thing to the artificial teeth as seen on the video, is this because of the difference between 2017 and 2018?
