exocad: AI Visibility Report

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about dental lab management, exocad ranks #6 of 15, a Visibility Score of 15 in Dental Lab Management .

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.

How AI sees exocad

One category, middle of the pack, rarely the top pick.

Where it wins. exocad earns a mention in 18% of dental lab management queries, which keeps it in the consideration set against a crowded field of 15 competitors. That presence is built almost entirely on budget and alternatives conversations, where buyers are actively comparing options.

Where it loses. A 6.9% first-pick rate means models almost always name someone else before exocad, and the brand is completely absent from the prompts that drive confident purchase decisions, including best overall, enterprise pick, and feature-led asks. In the one category where exocad competes for AI visibility, it is consistently outrun by 3Shape.
