Description

Description The CAD AUX Technician supports Bonadent's production workflow by operating milling software, managing zirconia pucks, completing post-processing, and running oven programs to sinter milled units. This role is responsible for accurate “CAD Match” from mill to oven to case, and for completing self-QC as the last line of defense before cases move to Ceramics. Requirements Specific Responsibilities and Duties: Milling and Machine Operations: · Operate milling software to queue, start, monitor, and complete milling jobs while maintaining production flow. · Load, swap, and remove zirconia pucks from mills; verify puck ID, shade, and size against the case ticket and production priorities. · Respond to machine prompts and basic interruptions (job pauses, puck changes, routine checks); escalate equipment issues to the appropriate lead or maintenance support. · Maintain organized puck inventory and traceability (puck usage, case identification, and job status). Post-Processing and Sintering: · Complete required post-processing steps per SOP (cleaning, de-spruing as applicable, labeling, and staging). · Select and run appropriate oven programs based on material and case requirements; ensure proper loading, cycle execution, and cool-down handling. · Perform CAD Match from oven to cases to ensure sintered units are returned to the correct case bins with correct documentation. Quality Control and Case Matching: · Perform self-QC as the last quality gate before handoff to Ceramics, confirming unit integrity, identification, and case alignment. · Match digital dies to the corresponding sintered units to prevent mix-ups and support accurate downstream finishing. · Identify defects, mismatches, or potential remakes early; communicate findings and coordinate next steps with CAD and production leadership. Teamwork, Communication, and Professional Standards: · Communicate status, delays, and urgent needs clearly with CAD Designers, Ceramics, and Quality to keep cases moving. · Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area; follow all safety procedures and equipment handling requirements. · Protect confidential patient and business information and follow Danaren policies and SOPs at all times. Key Performance Measurements: · On-time completion of milling and sintering workflow steps during the assigned shift. · Accuracy of CAD Match and traceability (correct puck, correct oven program, correct case return; zero case mix-ups). · First-pass quality rate prior to Ceramics and reduction in remakes attributable to AUX process errors. · Compliance with SOPs and documentation expectations (puck tracking, oven program selection, and case staging). Required Skills and Qualifications: · Working knowledge of milling software and production workflows; comfort swapping zirconia pucks in and out of mills. · Ability to learn and follow oven programs and material-specific sintering requirements. · Great interpersonal and communication skills. · Positive, team-oriented attitude and professionalism. · Multi-tasking and organizational skills, with close attention to detail. · Good time-management skills with an ability to perform under tight deadlines. · Able to maintain the highest level of confidentiality. · Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 30 lbs. with or without reasonable accommodations.
