How to export scans in STL or PLY format from Dental Manager

Dental System allows you to export scans in STL and PLY formats from Dental Manager for scanned and designed orders.

Step 1. Right-click the order and proceed to Advanced -> Export scan:
  
* If the Export Scan button is missing, contact your reseller to obtain the TRIOS Scan STL Export option for your dongle.

Step 2. In the subsequent windows select the following: 

•    Y-axis (Save model with Y-axis or Z-axis up?)
•    No (Decimate scan?
•    Yes (Save Scan as separate files?)

*  These options are recommended, but you can export scans with customized parameters.

Step 3. In the pop-up window, navigate to the folder where you want to save your STLs:

Step 4. Under the Save as type drop-down menu, select the desired format (STL or PLY): 

Step 5. Press Save. This window will pop up for each scan in the order.
