When Should My Lab Go Digital?

Today? Tomorrow? Eventually?

Today –  There are many reasons why you should embrace digital:

• Your doctors will be aware you are on the leading edge of technology and 3D printing.
• Increase production.
• Lower courier costs.
• Reduce remakes.
• Improve accuracy.

Tomorrow – One step at a time! Make sure you make the right decision on technology:

• Research available systems and find the one that works for you.
• Look for a system within your budget.
• Find a system that doesn’t have expensive yearly fees.
• Listen to the advice of other lab owners. Their experience counts!
• Purchase open architecture software, scanners and printers.
• Make your doctors aware that you will be accepting digital files (outsource until you are fully digital).

Eventually – Embrace the change to digital and enhance your offerings:

• Advertise to your doctors that you are now a digital lab – brag about it!
• Control where you send your outsourcing.
• When your digital files increase, make the transition to become a digital lab.
• Your lab will make a profit.
