Frequently Asked Questions

The fastdesign.io™ Software and Design Station is Glidewell’s proprietary CAD software used to digitally design restorations, review and manage scans, and send cases for in-office milling, 3D printing, or lab fabrication. Key features include:

  • Automatic margin detection
  • AI-generated crown proposals
  • Occlusion analysis
  • Contact point adjustment
  • Contour and anatomy editing
  • Material thickness analysis
  • Exporting designs to milling and 3D printing equipment

Not at all! The fastdesign.io software is designed to be as user-friendly and intuitive as possible. In fact, the CrownAI™ and MarginAI™ features embedded in the software will automatically mark margins and generate a design by drawing from our extensive database of successful cases. One of the most common pieces of feedback we hear from doctors is how quickly they can create a crown design with just a few clicks, even if they are new to CAD/CAM technology.

You have complete control over how involved you want to be. Some doctors prefer a hands-on approach, manually marking margins and adjusting crown anatomy, contacts, and occlusion. Others prefer to use the AI-generated design as a starting point and make modifications as needed. Some doctors even train team members to handle the design process entirely.

fastdesign.io™ gives you the flexibility to choose the approach that works best for your practice.

You don’t have to! With Unlimited Lab Design, fastmill.io™ users can send a scan to Glidewell, where a trained technician will design the restoration and return it for review and milling in just a few minutes.

Help is always available when you need it. Our Client Success team provides support by phone, email, text, and live remote assistance. When you call, you’re connected with real Glidewell technicians at our Irvine, CA campus, not an overseas call center.

About 15 minutes for single-unit cases, and 30 minutes for bridges.

Unlimited Lab Design can create designs for crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers and bridges.
