In this article, we will go over how to send Exocad orders to the Automate platform
Step 1: Create your order with the crown units selected. Once complete, click save.
Step 2: Click on the 'Open in Explorer' button. This will open your current case in the CAD-DATA folder
The files in the CAD-DATA folder need to be as shown below. Please note the scans need to be labeled as UpperJaw and LowerJaw, respectively.
Step 3: 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.'
Step 4: Go to settings and select the box 'Exocad orders only: Manage Exocad material settings in Automate
Step 5: Choose the material you want Automate to design the order in.
You can edit the material settings, delete materials, and add new materials in your settings section of Automate.
Step 6: Set your design preferences, turnaround time, and material before dragging and dropping your zipped folder to the site.
Once you accept and download the finished design, you will have the STL, PTS, and Solo die files for each crown.
