[QUOTE="sirmorty, post: 160687, member: 1022"] I have been remote designing for quite awhile, It works pretty good as long you have really fast upload speed for the internet connection. For larger cases it can be a bit of a pain and can be frustrating and slow. I see nothing wrong with outsourcing designs. Labs have been outsourcing every part of the dental business for years. Lots of people make a living just doing porcelain work and get someone else to make the frames. Communication is key and no one is a mind reader so if there is something special you just send them a note with the specific requests. It's not that hard. Then it's all up to designer and that's where their ability either works or doesn't the exact same as a porcelain tech or gold tech. I think if you have the expectations that you are never going to have to adjust anything then you are dreaming. Anyone that has being do CAD knows that. But if you only have to make a minor adjustment once in awhile then I see it could be a big benefit for a lab that needs help but are not sure about hiring someone and training. Labs are already outsourcing their designs to India and China, If you think about it, you have no shipping cost at all because there is no physical product being sent. You scan in all the cases. They download them and design and send them back to you the same day and you mill them out. And scanning is the easiest part of the whole CAD process. You can teach anyone to scan, It's really simple. [/QUOTE]
