Tex, do you perchance mean csV instead of csZ?
Jake when you were considering the different scanners, was Trios 3 mono (black and white upgradable to color later) taken into consideration? It is supposed to be a lot less expensive up front. But, your reservation about the trios was the annual subscriptions, so i assume the lower up front fee wouldn't have swayed your purchase?
Anyways, most of the dentists and technicians I have spoken with, love the technology and are eager to embrace it. What is the 1 or 2 reasons in your opinion that dentists will not make the commitment to purchase an io scanner? What are they waiting for and for how long will they wait? IF it is like a computer, once I spend $2000 for it, 6 months later I could buy the same one for 1200. They keep getting better and faster but the price hovers around that 1500 range for the latest and best.

if not, have you tried their app Mesh Converter? http://www.carestreamdental.com/us/en/support/Software Updates#CS-Solutions-Drivers
I supply the scanner .No fees,no problem.
Hey Partner! Nope......Carestream's proprietary file format is .csz. Now you can change that when the .stl converter license feature is set up right. BOY.....STL is very important!
Jake, the CSZ is the CareStream 'Raw Scan'. You need to finish going through the ACQ software (refinement and all the other checks) for it to pop out a DICOM file. That 'DCM' file is what you will run through the Mesh Converter app to get you STL and PLY files.
On a related note the DCM file that the software created is a proprietary CareStream DCM file, it is not compatible with 3shape.
