.stl

I got an .stl impression scan file from a cerec user today....first one from a client.
so my question becomes (while my 3shape support is out of pocket),how can i put this .stl into my 3shape and get some crowns made....ideally model-less. if i need to get models printed, who can do that reasonably?
pardon my ignorance, there arent many cerec users here locally and even less that want/can send out the scans for fabrication. its the first exposure i have to it...and i spent way too long looking through old posts LOL

Create a order then import the scans, this should work.

don't you need all scans?

 

[sidesh0wb0b]

ok, 3shape isn't allowing me to import an .stl
.dcm or .hps only

thoughts? I know theres something I am missing.

I think $8000 worth of software.

It's called CAD points! Call you dealer and purchase some then you can use any module in the software without having to purchase the module. 12 cad point for all 3rd party IO scanner and 6 cad points for trois. No need to purchase the all scan model builder module.

 

[PearlZ]

indeed allscans isnt really necessary, but if he expends to take scans from other things like planscan, 3m, whatever else, it will be handy.

to pay working with an STL a joke ????

 

[Sevan P]

Call core3d and have them transfer your dongle to argen, you wont regret it. LOL

core3d

Switch dealers, call core3d and have them transfer the dongle to argen or another reputable dealer like C.A.P. and be done with it and never have a dealer problem again.

We had to pay an additional fee for "Any STL." This allowed us to import ANY stl... Maybe your missing that option?
Three dongle upgrades.
-Impression scanning
-Trios importing
-Any STL

okay, still no reply from core3d but that seems to be what I am missing. I have yet to check that exact page, but I am guessing the model builder stuff is what I need.
thanks everyone
