How to send an Exocad case for Design – 3Shape Design Services

In this article, we will go over the steps on how to send an Exocad case for Design

Set up your order and import your scans. Once complete, click save.
Click on the 'Open in Explorer' button. This will open your current case in the CAD-DATA folder
Click on CAD-DATA in the folder path, and it will highlight the case you are working on. This folder needs to be zipped up. Nothing should be removed from the folder.
Zip the folder by right clicking, then click on 'Send to', then click on 'Compressed zipped folder.'
 Open Google Chrome and log in to your 3Shape Design Service Account: https://design.3shape.com/signin . Drag and drop your compressed zip folder onto the orders tab
Fill in the order form to match EXACTLY what is selected in the Exocad order. If you need another line, click the +icon on the right.

Important: 'Design Guide Codes' is where the visual instructions to the designers sit. Always select Design Guide Codes instead of free typing in the instructions field.

The Destination area is where 3Shape will send the case to be manufactured. If you have a manufacturer turned on on your account, select the proper one pertaining to the case. In-House Manufacturing means you will download the case and either manufacture it yourself or send it to a manufacturer on your end.

*Argen Manufacturing cannot be chosen for Exocad orders. You will have to select In-House Manufacturing and send it to the Argen link once the case is completed
