The company runs a fully digital production workflow in which each case must meet print specs before it reaches the printers. It already works with Pearl talent and is adding this role to its production team. About the Role You will work in ReLU, a web-based dental software platform, to clean up dental scans and fill undercuts, the areas of a scan that would stop a printed model or appliance from seating or releasing correctly. Each day you will work through a case queue, check every case against print specs, and flag problem scans to the US team. Full training on ReLU and the client’s workflow is provided. Success means accurate, consistent, print-ready cases delivered on time, with very few remakes or returns. Core Responsibilities Scan Preparation & Undercut Filling - Open incoming dental scans in ReLU and fill undercuts to the client’s specifications. - Prepare each case for 3D printing using the documented steps for its case type. - Complete assigned cases from the daily queue within the production schedule. Quality Control & Print Readiness - Review each prepared case for errors, missed undercuts, and scan defects before handoff. - Flag problem scans, such as poor scan quality or missing data, to the team with clear notes. - Keep case tracking and documentation accurate and up to date. - Catch issues before cases reach manufacturing to keep remakes and returns low. Process & Communication - Follow the client’s SOPs and training materials and apply feedback on your cases quickly. - Update the US-based team on case status, questions, and blockers during EST hours. - Suggest workflow improvements once you are comfortable with the tool.
