Introduction

Simple diagnostic models can be used for visualizing patient anatomy, case planning, presentation, and more. With PreForm’s Scan to Model feature, there’s no need for a standalone dental design software—you can turn digital impressions directly into diagnostic models for printing on Formlabs 3D printers.

Formlabs offers multiple material options which have all been validated to produce accurate dental models. Use Draft Resin for fast printing, Model Resin for stone-colored models, or White Resin for bright white models.

1. Scan

Every 3D print starts with a digital impression. A 3D intraoral scanner is the quickest and easiest way to acquire this data. Any scanner that can export the scan as an STL file will be compatible with Formlabs’ software.
