Evident, a pioneer in digital dentistry solutions, recently announced EviSmart Downloader, a new product that automatically retrieves and imports files from various intraoral scanners or external portals directly into dental lab workflow regardless of software or hardware. By automating the file intake process, EviSmart Downloader helps labs reduce administrative time, prevent data loss, and maintain consistent file organization.
“We designed EviSmart Downloader to simplify one of the most time-consuming lab tasks: manually retrieving and sorting digital impressions,” said Paolo Kalaw, CEO of Evident. “Labs handling large volumes of scans can now rely on a tool that ensures every case is captured accurately and efficiently—without risking missing or duplicate files.”
EviSmart Downloader seamlessly pulls all relevant case files into the dental lab workflow, eliminating the need to jump between multiple devices or portals. Whatever software or hardware, files arrive in a consistent format, ready for further processing.
Evident is committed to modernizing dental lab workflows through an integrated suite of AI-driven and automation-focused tools. From EviSmart Core (the secure central data hub) to EviSmart Downloader and beyond, the EviSmart platform helps labs streamline operations, improve accuracy, and deliver top-quality results to clinicians and patients alike.
EviSmart Downloader is available immediately as part of the EviSmart platform. Schedule a demo by clicking Contact Us above.
Designs you order from EviSmart arrive in your Oqcam already formatted. Named the way your nesting rules expect, with shade and material attached, and pointed at the machine that case belongs on.
The routing is decided per case. An implant case sends the crown to the mill and puck you cut implant crowns on, and the model to the printer you print models on. Different case types, different machines, chosen automatically rather than by a tech working through a dropdown for every file.
The trigger is QC approval. EviSmart designs your cases your way. The same team works on all your cases and learns what a good case looks like to you. Once your case passes our QC, it triggers a greenlight to send the design directly into your Oqcam account in under a minute.
Once the file arrives in your Oqcam, all your CAD/CAM technicians can review the nested design before starting the mill. That final QC step does not change and is not meant to.
Setup is one session. We connect your Oqcam account and agree where each of your products should go, using the routes and materials you have already built there. Nothing new to create, and you only revisit it if something changes.
Automatic sending only works if you trust what is being sent. Once a case is nested it gets cut, and a design that was not right is wasted material.
You choose what flows. During setup we map only the case types you want moving on their own. Anything unmapped never sends. It waits for you exactly as it does today.
Most labs start narrow. Bread and butter work first, night guards and posterior single units, then widen once they have watched it run for a few weeks. The lab that has been live longest started exactly there and has added case types since.
Your approval stays. This removes the file shuffling between design and CAM. It does not remove your eyes from the build.
For labs outsourcing design work the math gets compelling somewhere north of 30 cases a day into nesting, because that is where the handoff stops being an annoyance and starts being a role.
Not touchless design. Touchless handoff. Every step in that chain that requires judgment should keep requiring judgment, and every step that never did should stop requiring a person.
Nesting requires judgment. Confirming a build requires judgment. Renaming a file so software can read it does not, and never did. It was a workaround that quietly became somebody's job.
Nobody pays you to rename files.
