I have a doctor that is sending me STLs for his anterior cases and he has a model printed for us to use. I have 3Shape, but no model builder software and we do not have a 3D Printer, yet. The model he sends us does not come with a removable die. When I design the case in 3Shape, I mark the margins manually, but many times they aren't well defined. We have had no remakes so far. Can I take the STLs he sends me and send them to a lab with a 3D Printer to have another model made so that I can manually split the new model and and trim the prep/preps? I assume I can not have a separate die made with the new model unless I had model builder and was able to include margin information with the STLs. Thanks
