I love the automatic medial/distal contact feature. **What do you dislike about 3Shape?** The lack of control when morphing/free designing, the lack of a 'cut contact' feature, or a way to make the contacts flush without having to adjust every other tooth on the arch. There are also many many bugs. **Recommendations to others considering 3Shape:** I recommend using 3shape if you want an on-rails, simple, and fast way to pump out designs for large dental cases, like a full mouth restoration. If you want more control, to upload custom tooth libraries, or to have a more open system designing dental prosthetics, then I would consider a different software such as ExoCad. **What problems is 3Shape solving and how is that benefiting you?** 3shape is really beneficial for designing full-mouth restorations, and keeping the process simple. The benefits are that it takes a fraction of the time to complete large restorations when compared to other dental design software. ### 3.
