Getting Started as a Dental CAD Technician
How to set up your profile, submit calibration tests, find freelance cases, and receive guaranteed escrow payouts.
1. Profile & Software Certification
Build your professional brand by highlighting your expertise in exocad (Galway, Rijeka, Elefsina), 3Shape Dental System, or Blender for Dental. Specify your capabilities: single crowns, implant bars, All-on-X full-arch prosthetics, and digital smile design.
2. Verification & Test Case Approval
To unlock Verified Technician status and bid on high-tier laboratory cases, complete a quick calibration test case assessed by our master dental laboratory panel for anatomical accuracy, margin margin integrity, and minimum wall thickness.
3. Accepting Work & Turnaround Commitments
Choose between setting your own fixed rate per unit or bidding on posted clinic projects. Standard cases have a 4-hour SLA, while urgent milling orders require sub-90 minute delivery.
4. Escrow Payouts & Reputation Building
Funds are locked in escrow before you begin working. Once the client approves the design, funds clear into your WorkDent wallet. Payouts can be withdrawn via Stripe Connect, SWIFT wire, or USDC cryptocurrency.
