FROM DIGITAL IMPRESSION TO ARTICULATED MODELS

From an intra-oral or impression scan, DWOS Model Builder allows to generate watertight models for several dental indications. Physical articulated models with cut, pinned and ditched dies can be mass-produced either in-house or through a service provider.

For implant cases, Model Builder enables precise repositioning of the implant locators on the digital impression. It then creates a hole in order for the analog to be easily snapped into the 3D printed model. A removable gingival area, along with its separate manufacturing file, can be defined.

To cover the various manufacturing processes and some specific practices, several types of models are available. Here are a few:

•  Geller
•  Hollowed
•  Offset: with uniform thickness
•  Monoblock model: the die is fixed to the model and also printed separately
•  Sawcut models: for Baumann and Dentona plates
