Stop Paying the “Lab Tax”
Turn Retainers Into Profit—Without Hiring a Lab Tech
The Zero-Admin Lab Protocol is the only in-house manufacturing workflow engineered by Purdue Systems Integrators to eliminate computer work for your staff.
The Problem with Retainers
You Have Two Bad Options
Most Practices Only See This
Both lead to the same outcome: frustration and wasted money
The Outsourcing Trap
Pay More, Wait Longer, Control Nothing
- •$50–$100 per retainer in lab fees
- •2+ weeks turnaround time
- •Shipping costs and delays
- •Zero control over quality or timing
Result: ~$25,000/year in “convenience fees”
The DIY Nightmare
Buy Equipment, Become IT Support
- •$10,000+ in equipment costs
- •Staff frustration with confusing software
- •Resin smells and failed prints
- •You become the IT troubleshooter
Result: Expensive “closet decoration”
The Third Option
Professional results without the professional headaches
The Zero-Admin Lab Protocol
You Own the Equipment. We Own the Headache.
- •You own the equipment and profits
- •We handle all technical complexity
- •Medical-grade manufacturing in your office
- •Custom automation eliminates computer work
Professional Results + Zero Administrative Burden = Pure Profit
“I Don't Want My Staff Playing on Computers.”
Neither do we. That's why we wrote the code to do it for them.
We act as your IT Operations Partner, not a medical device manufacturer.
You Prescribe
(Medical Control)
Your staff scans the patient and tells us who to print. That is it. They walk away.
Safety Check: You retain 100% of the clinical decision-making and prescription authority. You are the doctor; we are just moving the digital files.
We Automate
(The Physical-Digital Integration)
Our proprietary Python automation instantly wakes up. It identifies the patient, creates the 3D base, adds the text label, orients the model for the printer, and generates the support structures.
Zero Clicks: Your staff never opens slicing software. They never rename files. They never manage data.
You Own Your Data: We integrate our system with your software, so you maintain complete visibility and control of your prints and cases at all times.
You Print
(Physical Production)
The printer is already queued. Your staff simply presses “Start.” 45 minutes later, you have a 15-micron accurate dental model ready for post-processing and thermoforming. Now your staff has control of your practice's quality reputation - not an external lab.
Safety & Compliance
Most in-house labs fail because they turn a medical clinic into a chemical factory. We install a Validated Safety Protocol that keeps your office pristine and your staff safe.
The “Zero-Exposure” Workflow
(Minimal Contact Protocol)
Our SOPs are engineered to minimize staff contact with liquid resin. We train your team on “No-Touch” transfer techniques using specific tools, not their hands.
Safety First: Protective protocols that keep your team safe while maintaining efficiency.
Material Handling Compliance
(Complete Documentation)
We provide the full “Safety Stack”: SDS (Safety Data Sheets), hazardous waste disposal logs, and ventilation guides.
Regulatory Ready: All documentation needed for compliance and inspections.
Instructional Videos
(Comprehensive Training)
We don't just leave a manual. We provide instructional videos tailored to your workflows along with personal training and a help hotline.
Expert Training: We train your team on machine maintenance, resin safety, and the “5-Minute Polish.” We empower your staff to feel like experts, not janitors.
Data Governance
(On-Premises Security)
You keep all your data on-premises, and we use secure connections to run the automation code on your machines in your local network.
Legal Disclaimer: We operate as a Class I Medical Device Data System (MDDS) support provider. We provide IT connectivity and file transfer automation only. All medical device manufacturing and clinical decisions remain the sole responsibility of the prescribing practitioner.
From Audit to Autonomy in 30 Days
Our proven 3-step implementation process gets you from consultation to production in one month.
The Workflow Audit
(Site Assessment & Custom Design)
We visit your practice to map your current software (iTero, Medit, etc.) and physical space. We measure your ventilation and counter space to design a custom “Clean Lab” layout.
Custom Integration: Every practice is different. We design your system to work seamlessly with your existing workflow and space constraints.
The “White Glove” Integration
(Complete System Installation)
We procure and install the hardware. We write custom Python scripts to bridge your scanner, printer, and any other in-house management software. We set up everything on your local network (secure, HIPAA-compliant, no cloud uploads).
Zero Downtime: We handle all procurement, installation, and testing. Your practice continues operating normally during setup.
HIPAA Compliant: All data stays on your local network. No cloud uploads, no external data sharing.
Staff University
(Comprehensive Training & Support)
We train your team using our proprietary video curriculum and on-site training. We hand you the “Compliance Binder,” which includes all safety logs and marketing materials to sell “Same-Day Retainers” to patients.
Complete Package: Training videos, compliance documentation, and patient marketing materials. Your staff becomes confident experts, not confused operators.
Prefer Full Independence?
Not interested in a long-term automation partner? No problem. We offer an additional training service for your staff when you feel ready to complete the design and 3D printing manufacturing workflows in-house.
We take your design headache out of the equation by designing the system that matches your business goals.
