Clean Mesh. Hollowed Base. Perfect Fit.
Raw intraoral scans (IOS) are not printable. They have holes, artifacts, and open meshes. Our Digital Model Design Service transforms raw scan data into clean, water-tight, printable STL files.
We understand that resin cost is a major expense for labs. That is why we specialize in Hollow Models. We optimize the wall thickness (e.g., 2.5mm) and place strategic drain holes to prevent suction forces and minimize resin usage.
Technical Engineering Specs
We offer various model types depending on your restoration needs:
Model Configurations
- Geller Models (Sectioned): Removable dies with precision friction fit. Ideal for crown & bridge checking.
- Solid Models (Ditched): Margins are virtually ditched/trimmed for clear visibility. Ideal for contacts checking.
- Implant Models: Soft tissue mask (Gingiva) and Digital Analog holes (e.g., Elos, Dess, NT-Trading).
Print Optimization
- Mesh Repair: We close all holes and remove floating artifacts (“noise”) from the scan.
- Labeling: Case ID or Patient Name embossed/engraved on the side for easy identification.
- Base Design: Plateless (low profile) or Horseshoe shape to fit more models on the build plate.
Why Outsource Model Building?
“Model Builder” software modules are expensive and the process is tedious. It takes 15-20 minutes to clean up scans and design dies properly. By outsourcing to China Dental Designs, you save your technician’s time. Just download the STL, nest it in your slicer software, and hit print.
Submission Workflow
- Data: Upload Upper/Lower IOS scans and Bite.
- Specify: Type (Sectioned/Solid) and if you need Hollowing.
- Receive: Download the print-ready STL file by 8:00 AM EST.
