• starts the scan process.
• Alternatively, you can use the function button on the device.

 Stop scan

 Delete

• deletes all scan data acquired in or related to the current stage.

 Face data alignment

• manually aligns selected scan data using matching points.

 Import 3D face data

• imports face data from an external source.

 Import 3D bone data

• imports 3D images taken by a CT scan.
• DICOM files are not compatible.

 Undo

• Undo the previous action.

 Redo

• Restores any actions that have been previously undone by undo.

 

❏ Align face data with teeth data

1. In the face scan stage, complete the scan by scanning nose, mouth, and teeth.

• Be careful not to point the scanner light towards the patient's eyes.

2. Click the alignment icon, and select one of the following pairs of data. It is recommended to align the maxilla scan data with the face scan data.

• Maxilla + face scan data (recommended)
• Mandible + face scan data

3. Mark matching points on both scan data. At least, one point is required on each scan data for the system to automatically align scan data. You can use as many points as you need.

4. After the alignment is done, click Exit.

 

❏  Align imported 3D face data with teeth data

1.  Click the Import 3D face data button, and import 3D face data.

• Supported file formats: OBJ, PLY, STL

2. Remove the teeth from the imported data using the trimming tools.

3. Click the alignment icon. Select the face data and the imported 3D face data.

4. Mark matching points on both scan data. At least, one point is required on each scan data for the system to automatically align scan data. You can use as many points as you need.

5. After the alignment is done, click Exit.

 

❏ Align imported 3D bone data with teeth data

1.  Click the Import 3D bone data button to import the 3D bone data.

• Supported file formats: OBJ, PLY, STL (DICOM files are not supported.)

2. Click the alignment icon, and select one of the following pairs of data.

• Maxilla + Imported 3D bone data
• Mandible + Imported 3D bone data

3. Mark matching points on both scan data. At least, one point is required on each scan data for the system to automatically align scan data. You can use as many points as you need.

4. After the alignment is done, click Exit.
