Acquiring 3D Data
There are three ways to gather 3D data to use in Medit Splints:
1. Acquire scan data in Medit Scan for Clinics or Labs
Create a new case and complete the necessary scans in Medit Scan for Clinics or Labs.
Scan data will automatically be saved in the patient’s case in Medit Link.
2. Import local files through Medit Link
Before running the app, you can import data from local files and attach it to a Medit Link case in the Case Detail window.
3. Import local files through Medit Splints
After running the app, you can import 3D data from local files by clicking “Import Local
Files” in the Assign Data dialog window.
ℹ️Note
Supported file formats for imported data are meditMesh, OBJ, PLY, and STL.
ℹ️Note
To create a splint, use a single arch data or both maxilla and mandible data.
ℹ️Note
You can continue working on an existing project if you run Medit Splints from the same
case again.
