📖 [Design] Data Management

Acquiring 3D Data

There are three ways to gather 3D data to use in Medit Design:

1. Scan data in Medit Scan for Clinics or Labs

   After completing the necessary scans in Medit Scan for Clinics or Labs, the scan data will automatically be saved in the patient’s case in Medit Link.

   Then, you can import the data by clicking “Import Medit Link Files.”

2. Add 3D data to a Medit Link case

   To import 3D data that was not scanned using Medit Scan for Clinics or Labs, the 3D data should first be attached to a case in Medit Link, then imported to Medit Design by clicking "Import Medit Link Files.”

3. Import local data

   You can directly import 3D data (meditMesh, .OBJ, .PLY, .STL) stored on your computer by clicking “Import Local Files.”

Saving 3D Data

There are several different ways to save your files.

When you've made changes to the existing mesh, you will be able to complete the project by clicking "Complete.”

The "Save 3D Data" window will pop up after clicking “Complete.” You can choose to overwrite or export your files. You can also select "Advanced Options" to individually assign overwrite or export for each of your files.

Save 3D data options

Overwrite

If you choose to overwrite, this will overwrite the existing data in Medit Link and replace your existing files. If you've selected to overwrite a new file that does not have a pre-existing version, Medit Design will export the data as a new file instead.

Export

If you choose to export, this will export files to Medit Link, saving and creating the changes as new files.

Advanced Options

If you choose "Advanced Options," another window will appear, giving you overwrite and export options for each of the files.
