[QUOTE="CoolHandLuke, post: 246771, member: 4850"] right, but if you wanted to make your own 3dprinted model you need to have a scanobody and DIM analog supplier. they ship you the analog for you to snap into the printed model socket (generated specifically for that analog). since you already digitally aligned the data to create the proper analog placement, you should then also have the ability to design the case data (the hybrid/abutment) without rescanning the DIM. rescanning is just adding a layer of complexity. it would really only be necessary in the specific case where your abutment cannot be designed via the IOS bodies. for example, you need to make a ti abutment and you use NT bodies to do that, but the doc scanned using some other system. yes in that specifc circumstance you will need to fabricate a model, and rescan the model using NT bodies, to create your Ti abutment. in 99% of all other *cases though, you can work with just the one scan. edited to add: the above case is just poor integration into the implant design process. its the cheap way, not the right way.
