anyone know how to get some stl files to play with from the different intraoral scanners?

Bob, I don't know. Please list the platforms you can currently mill the actual hex or tri-lobe from raw stock. Do you really get this info from the exported files? Show me a stl of that if you would please. Not as viewed in 3Shape, but rather from an open stl viewer ot Magics, or ??

I hate the 3Shape scanner. Plastic gears, just too much plastic in general, and not in the top Three for accuracy. Too long to calibrate.

I am almost certian that Exocad is currently outselling 3Shape everywhere now. (Globally speaking) I think all resellers use a White-Stripe Light of some sort or another. Either German, Italian, or Korean scanner manufac.

Hey all,

We have some new design tutorial videos up on CAP Academy. For those who would like some help with abutment design, these new videos will teach you how to design an abutment for a molar, for an anterior unit, and even how to setup and use the parallel abutment design feature, new to 3Shape 2010. There's also a new tutorial on designing a bicuspid full contour unit. Enjoy!

Yes, it all depends on how the abutment library is set up. I have a one piece internal hex I can upload later. It's definitely possible but the kit needs to be set up that way in the control panel.

I hate the 3Shape scanner. Plastic gears, just too much plastic in general, and not in the top Three for accuracy. Too long to calibrate.

The only plastic part on the 3Shape scanners is the front face and the one rotational gear on the inside, visible by opening the door.

Yes ,I would really like to see a bridge scan and design video. Perhaps you could include the cutback technique?

In my discussions with users, I'm finding that the mirroring feature is one that many people are aware of, but aren't sure how to get to it. It's not very obvious, so I put together a video on using the mirror feature to copy a tooth from the existing anatomy.

Here it is:

Enjoy! As alway, let me, Yuri, and Bob know what other topics you'd like us to cover.

Dear Rob!

I like to ask are you planning to make some video about partial design with dentaldesigner???

 

[robnazzal]

Hi stumpf,

We are honestly not experts with the removables module at this point, but if anyone else out there would like to help contribute content on this topic, I will be happy to work with them to post it on the site.

Thanks,
Rob
