I wanted to do a surgical guide completely digital, from start to finish. I must premise this by I have never used any of this software.
Step 1. Doctor wants a surgical guide made, sent me an impression...poured impression
Step 2. Scanned the models using the Medit i500
Step 3. Took that digital file and uploaded to BlueSkyBioPlan
Step 4. Inputted the information BlueSkyBio asked for, moved the implant where it should be close (sure, would of been great with .dicom file...ctscan or conebeam but didn't get that).
Step 5. Sent the last pic below (which is the 3d file blueskybio produces) to the Roland
Step 6. Mill (took about two hours) the guide using the 50 clear puck from Axsys.
That BlueSkyBio is pretty slick, I like it. This took me about 15mins to do to get to Step 6. I used the free (you get two) BlueSkyBio to do this, I get one more free then you are charged $20 per 3d file you create/export. Total cost, stone, time, puck, and even if you add the $20 creation fee would be around $40. I don't know if their is a better software, simpler way, or even more cost effective digitally, feel free to share. And hey, this was my first one, don't hesitate to call it crap or give your criticism, it's all good.
