Virtual Model Builder
The Virtual Model Builder module meets specific requirements associated with the development of intra-oral and impression scan technologies. The DWOS Virtual Model Builder offers a unique opportunity for laboratories to replace their current manual model-making processes with the software's ability to digitally generate the equivalent components from the scan data, which can later be used in the labs’ manufacturing process of choice.
This means the generation of articulated models with cut, pinned and ditched dies. The following is an outline of the procedure:
- Import scan files (both arches if available)
- Virtually clean or eliminate unnecessary scan surfaces and repair any imperfections (e.g. filling holes)
- Generate watertight models (both upper and lower) from the cleaned scan surfaces
- Define margin on prep(s)
- Virtually ditch the prep(s), cut and generated keyed pins
- Define and generate a single or dual pinned articulator on each end of the models to fit with respect to each other. Vertex articulator slots can also be generated at the model ends if desired
