A method for manufacturing a dental prosthetic assembly, the dental prosthetic assembly comprising a first and a second element (102; 104), the first element comprising a first connection portion with a reception configured to establish a mechanical connection between the first and the second element (102; 104) by receiving a protrusion of a second connection portion comprised by the second element, the method comprising: providing a first 3D digital model of the first element as a first template and a second 3D digital model of the second element as a second template, manufacturing a first physical copy of the first element using the first template or of the second element using the second template, acquiring scan data of the manufactured first physical copy, providing a 3D digital scan model of at least a part of the manufactured first physical copy using the scan data, determining using the scan model deviations of the mechanical connection violating one or more fitting criteria, when replacing for establishing the mechanical connection the template used for the manufacturing of the first physical copy by the scan model, compensating the determined deviations of the mechanical connection to satisfy the one or more violated fitting criteria, wherein the compensating comprises modifying the template not used for manufacturing the first physical copy, manufacturing a second physical copy using the modified template. the first element comprising a first connection portion with a reception configured to establish a mechanical connection between the first and the second element (102; 104) by receiving a protrusion of a second connection portion comprised by the second element, the method comprising: providing a first 3D digital model of the first element as a first template and a second 3D digital model of the second element as a second template, manufacturing a first physical copy of the first element using the first template or of the second element using the second template, acquiring scan data of the manufactured first physical copy, providing a 3D digital scan model of at least a part of the manufactured first physical copy using the scan data, determining using the scan model deviations of the mechanical connection violating one or more fitting criteria, when replacing for establishing the mechanical connection the template used for the manufacturing of the first physical copy by the scan model, compensating the determined deviations of the mechanical connection to satisfy the one or more violated fitting criteria, wherein the compensating comprises modifying the template not used for manufacturing the first physical copy, manufacturing a second physical copy using the modified template. providing a first 3D digital model of the first element as a first template and a second 3D digital model of the second element as a second template, manufacturing a first physical copy of the first element using the first template or of the second element using the second template, acquiring scan data of the manufactured first physical copy, providing a 3D digital scan model of at least a part of the manufactured first physical copy using the scan data, determining using the scan model deviations of the mechanical connection violating one or more fitting criteria, when replacing for establishing the mechanical connection the template used for the manufacturing of the first physical copy by the scan model, compensating the determined deviations of the mechanical connection to satisfy the one or more violated fitting criteria, wherein the compensating comprises modifying the template not used for manufacturing the first physical copy, manufacturing a second physical copy using the modified template.
