Is it possible to print a model from an impression scan with a stone die in 3Shape

With scanning an impression in 3shape and using a stone check die, in model builder the models aren't meshed into one printable stl. How would you go about printing this?

I don't use 3shape, so take this with a grain of fermentable grains. 😃

Is it possible to take a scan of the stone die and match it to the scanned impression to make one solid mesh or close to it? Save that and run it through the model design?

If you are looking for a solid model with the die and a single analog check die, why not just use the solid model and ditch around the die? You'll have your good check die for margins and the solid as (if I understood your goal) working model.

I recently heard you will be able to print a model from an impression + Stone die scan in the next release.

I think they fixed it so you're able to in 2020 but for sure in 2021. We are in beta right now. Send me a case and i can run it through beta and let you know. Pm me for my email. Or post a dropbox link.

When you scan a impression in the margins are never clear, so you scan a poured single die in for the margins that have been hand trimmed. But to make a model from that file was hard previously cause of the gap between the die and model. Unless the impression scan has super clear margins or even readable ones, then you can do the standard IO workflow, marking and have model builder section the die for you. Impression scanning can have two different type of workflows.

I think it's possible with something like Meshmixer, just wondering if there is a workaround in 3shape

Of course. I know the process, and Exo lets me merge the single stone die in easily, but to clarify my previous post: the impression scan printed model would be used a solid contact and occlusion model. The single poured die would simply be the margin die.

hi after scanning the file modify to digital file and design your case and print model with removable die by selecting remove neighber

It fairly simple with mesh mixer. you could go always create a "ditched" model by combing the the stl file in meshmixer and then use that in modelbuilder. it will be easier than trying to wrestle with 3shape trying to combine them. Unless 3shape has some game changing fixes or features I always recommend learning meshmixer.
