    Appended CAD Design Moved?

    Hello Wannabe! The way I went about it: 1. Download Meshmixer. It's free, and relatively easy to use. 2. Find your case, right click and advanced -> explore order. Inside the CAD folder you'll find the teeth you designed in DCM format. Open all of those and they'll pop up in the 3Shape model...

    Digital Facebow

    So I've been tasked with figuring out how we could do a digital facebow in 3Shape. I've looked around... I usually only ever see the idea of it being talked about, and one or two mysterious videos on Facebook club that indicate that it's been done, but with no explanations on how. I've been...

    For sure. One smudge in the wrong place equals a misprint.

    Margin Viewing from CEREC

    Gotta love how "open and and flexible" Sirona's addition of .stl export supposedly made working with Cerec scans, while still somehow making a sensible workflow impossible between dr and lab without us getting f@%*ing inLab and a $50k paperweight.

    It's worth it imo, but it's the only one I have hands-on experience with. It's a bit like 3shape; it has errors sometimes and there's no good reason for them, but once you know its quirks, it'll do what you need it to do as long as you keep it clean.

    Designing Implant direct legacy case with 3 shape.

    I made a dummy-case to test this and didn't end up having any issues. I imagine this is long-resolved and you guys don't need help anymore, but here's my guess. Once when I had this problem with a different abutment case, the issue turned out to be the fact that the "customer" in the order...

    Cerec Scan Body DME for 3Shape

    I should take a shot every time I hear that inLab is the only apparent solution to the problems I keep having with this one doctor. Then I wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore.

    Cerec Scan Body DME for 3Shape

    Agreed. We just got a demo for Exocad. As soon as we have the spare time to practice with it more and learn the interface, I sense we'll end up having a bit of a transition. Exocad doesn't seem to have these sorts of problems anywhere near as often as 3Shape does.

    Cerec Scan Body DME for 3Shape

    Hey all. We received stls from a Dr using a Cerec scanner. The case wasn't imported into 3Shape from Sirona, we just took the stls he exported and plugged them into a new case manually. This usually works fine, except we got a scan with this scan body: From what I can see, this is specifically...

    New Implant Tech Training

    Amen. Ain't nothin' to it but to do it, honestly. And just when you start to get comfortable, some doc gets suckered by some reseller into buying some POS implant system that isn't even compatible with CAD/3Shape. Those are fun to deal with! Intermediate tip from experience, you see a zimmer...

    3shape work order form for uni-lateral partial

    I'll play with some ideas... it seems like you should just be able to add gingiva but 3Shape is complaining about it.

    Keystone Scan Bodies

    Thanks for the suggestions, guys! This particular part was specifically for Core3D's scan flag/dme. I'm not sure if that might make a difference, cuz I had no trouble finding a standard Keystone analog on Keystone's website. It was the Core3D-specific one I was having trouble with, because the...

    printing denture teeth

    Boy does it... Usually if I know I'm going to be modifying a case a lot, I export it as a 3Shape folder before I change anything just so I have an original to re-import if I need to.

    Itero Delays?

    Interesting to hear I'm not the only one... we don't often get iTero cases, but it's been two days now and the one we received the other day still hasn't moved past the modelling stage.

    Appended CAD Design Moved?

    I found a pretty backwards solution to this, but if this worked for you, I'd love to see some pictures of exactly what you're talking about if you don't mind! If there's something easier than converting stls of the teeth and stitching things together in another software, I'd love to know! I...

    Appended CAD Design Moved?

    Was able to pull a few tricks with Meshmixer.... it was unsectioned and I did try to copy and append a number of times after trying different things. But! I got it to work. It was aggravating, but it worked. Thanks for the tips, everyone!

    Appended CAD Design Moved?

    Update: Tried everything I know to try. Messed with the anatomy for reuse, adjusted the vertical back down to 0 in the original design file, added model work to it... nothing is working. The design is crooked every time. Either that, or it won't spit out model work and instead just spits out the...
