Afternoon everyone! With the original Impak material being discontinued we recently got the new version in. Unfrotunately it is significantly more inconsistent in terms of flexibility or even function when compared to the original version we are used to. Has anyone had good experiences with the...

Hey everyone, So I been scratching my head trying to get a definitive on this and hoping some people here have tried this and have a ready answer. I have a costumer using the Medentika L1410 scanbody, and they are trying to get it to make a model in ExoCad (With model analog),now I have all...

Hey everyone, So I have been making implant models with ExoCad for awhile and everything has been going well, however I came across this issue doing a case with a BioHorizon scanbody, and wondering if there is a way to fix this. Basically the socket made by the system has a square cut out...

Hey all, I think I asked a similar question in the past, but now with access to more and newer printers I am trying to get a consensus on separators and what is working for others. Our biggest issue is usually with Acrylic sticking to materials that come out of our DLP or SLA printers, which...

Hello All, So we design nightguards and such through 3Shape and we simulate function with said articulator, we can do full protrusive and lateral movement and adapt the design, the only improvement I want to make is in regards to maximum protrusive or lateral movement. Currently the...

Once again I am asking for aid... So we are trying to switch over some case design for our screw retain crowns to 3Shape and I am running into a bit of a snag. Essentially I am trying to use our Nobel Scan Body (Conical Connection RP 1.5mm) however in 3Shape even with the newest updated...

Hello All! Here is to hoping that you guys can give me an answer so I don't have to wonder around the internet getting half answers. Essentially we currently design our screw retained crowns on ExoCad using either a scanbody for alignment or using the manual positioning method. We are trying...

Good Morning, So I primarily use the ortho side of the 3Shape system so I am not well versed in the crown & bridge side of the software (I dabble). We have doctors asking about smile designer, basically they want to be able to send us a picture of the patient and we can then super imposed our...

Good Morning All, Here to ask for some more information once again... We are looking to start printing C&B models with Dies in house using our Printers (We have 2 Form2s and 2 Eden 260vs) and we are struggling in a few aspects. We are using Exocad mostly for the design or crowns and we use...

Hey guys, I am looking at perhaps trying to transition physical dentures into digital but the biggest hangup I have is the milling of teeth. Compared to card teeth how close can I get them in terms of quality wise and durability? I am new to the shaded pucks and want to know everyone's...

Hey Guys, I have a nice stone model that I want to make a died model out of, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it. I try making a fake crown on it but the insertion direction is all wrong and makes it so tedious to do anything I feel it is incorrect. Anyone got any ideas? I...

Good Afternoon all, I am looking to scan a case that has a guide pin in the socket for an implant, however being shiny and in a weird position it is tough to get a good quality scan of it, I have tried sandblasting it, and spraying it with scanner spray and it picks it up, the image is just...

Hey Guys, Perhaps you can aid me in a small issue, I am trying to figure a way to close open shell .STL files in 3Shape Appliance Designer (Or any module really). I know I can go through it and add a base and that will close it but it seems odd to me that it doesn't have a repair, or hole...

Good Afternoon all, So I have recently started playing around with our new Form2 printer's castable resin and Im hoping to get some thoughts or feedback from other users. The main issue I am trying to rectify is the fit, I am noticing that the result from design to physical creation doesnt...

Good Afternoon, Quick question, I receive STL intraoral scans from Doctors (Right now its as an attachment in an email) and they write out their Rx in the email. This was working for us however my email has a file limit and I cant expand it so sometimes some emails don't arrive in my inbox...

Good Afternoon, I am designing custom trays in 3 Shape and there is one problem I am running into, I am trying to make 1-2mm holes through the model in order to create mechanical retention. I have found a few ways to do this but some are tedious and time consuming so not really what I am...

Good Morning all, So I was importing a file from one of my doctors this morning, like I usually do, and when I went to apply a base on the model, I got an error saying "Invalid Boundary (boundary.limit = 2)". The process I used to import scan and add bases etc was the exact same way I have...

Good Afternoon Everyone, So I am playing around with 3D printing all my C&B models, using ExoCad to design the models and Dies (Usually from iTero Scans if that matters),and I am finding a few irregularities. First, sometimes the Die doesn't fix exactly in the socket it was designed for...

Good Morning, I am looking into milling dentures, and wondering if you guys have any opinions on strategies. Ideally I would like to mill the tissue and teeth separately and socket them in with minimal to no trimming, is this a possibility? I am running 3Shape right now and I can print/mill...
