Modeler

This tab allows users to create steps of clear aligners, add attachment & labels, and export STL files for manufacturing.

Create Step / Edit Step

Function to create steps.

  • If 3 aligners are required to reach from Init to layer 1, 3 steps shall be automatically created.
    (Example: Init > Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 > Layer 1)
  • It is possible to determine the aligner numbers with total movement value per step, or amount of movement value to determine the number of aligners to be produced.
  • If steps are created, it automatically changes to Edit Step mode.
  • User may verify the position of each tooth on every step and move them.

Attachment Application Range by Layer

When an Attachment is added, a notification dialog is displayed asking whether the changes should be applied to all Layers.
The application range varies depending on the Layer where the Attachment is added.

  • When selecting ‘Yes’

    1. If an Attachment is added to the first Layer

      • The Attachment is applied to all Layers.

    2. If an Attachment is added to a middle Layer

      • The Attachment is applied from the selected Layer to all subsequent Layers.

    3. If an Attachment is added to the last Layer

      • If no Attachment exists in the previous Layers : The Attachment is applied to all Layers.
      • If an Attachment already exists in the previous Layers : The Attachment is applied only to the last Layer.

  • When selecting ‘No’

    The Attachment is applied only to the current Layer.

Root control

  • Use negative attachements.
Anterior and posterior alignment

  • Use Bite ramps for anterior, and molar bite lamps for posterior teeth.

Label

: Function to add and edit labels.

  • Click Add(Number) or Add(Text), and enter texts and click on the desired position to place labels.
  • Use the control arrows to move and rotate.
  • Add (Number) : Step numbers shall be automatically generated next to entered texts.
    ※ If changing step, the step number of label shall be automatically changed.
  • Add(Text) : Displays entered texts only.
  • Edit : Edit texts.
  • Delete : Delete selected labels.

You can set the depth of the label in the settings.

Before applying Auto Depth (If the gum position changes, labels may be obscured by the gums)

After applying Auto Depth (When the gum position changes, the label positions are automatically adjusted)

Cutting Line

: This function automatically creates and edits lines for sheet cutting.

A line is created automatically when the function is executed

  • The last step of the selected layer is automatically selected and a line for that step is automatically created.
  • Lines for other steps are automatically created the moment you click on the step.
  • At this time, if there is line information in the previous or subsequent step, line information is automatically generated based on the corresponding line information.
Line editing can be done by modifying control points

  • Point move: Left click and drag the point.
  • Add point: Right click on the line.
  • Delete point: Right click on the point.
동영상 재생

Tip 1: If you create a line while moving from the last step to the previous step, this modified line information is automatically reflected, allowing you to quickly create a line.

Location of automatic line creation

  • The default position is 1mm below the gingival line.
  • Gingival line can be modified in Setting.
  • You can modify the “Cetting Line & Direct Aligner” value in the Common Tab of Setting.
    ※ Interlocking Products: ROBOT&DESIGN’s Products.

Direct Aligner

:This function directly prints the aligner without a model.

A Direct Aligner line is created automatically when the function is executed

  • The last step of the selected layer is automatically selected and a line for that step is automatically created.
  • If you select the Export button after checking the line, the Direct Aligner of the selected step is exported.
Line editing can be done by modifying control points

  • Point move: Left click and drag the point.
  • Add point: Right click on the line.
  • Delete point: Right click on the point.

Export File

1. Export

  • This function saves the selected layer as an STL file.

2. Base Cutting

: Trims unnecessary base parts of the selected layer, then exports steps in STL format.

  • Adjust the vertical control to set the cutting plane.
동영상 재생

※Notes

Set the plane to be cut so that it does not pass through the attachments or labels.

3. Hollow(beta)

: This function blanks the inner part of the selected layer and saves it as an STL file.

  • The appropriate well thickness is 2~3mm.
  • Adjust the vertical control to set the cutting plane.
  • You can tilt the plane you’re cutting on.

4. Step setting

: Added a feature to export only the selected step chosen by the user.

  • Select the Settings button at the bottom right of the Export screen.
  • Select the check button only for steps that need to be exported.
  • Function to select a step when exporting : Cutting Line / Default Export / Base Cutting / Hollow.

Tip 1: How to shorten export time.

Untick “Union Operations” in Settings to shorten export time dramatically only if it does not contains cutting line information.

Block out

Automatically fills deep undercut areas between teeth.
This feature is used when printing a model to prevent clear aligners from fitting too tightly or getting caught during fabrication.

  • Block Out can be added automatically or manually.
  • Use the control arrows to move and rotate.
  • The width, height and depth can be changed using the +/- buttons.
  • Delete : Delete selected Block Out.
  • Delete all : Delete all Block Outs.
Automatic Block Out Creation

Click Auto Add to automatically add Block Outs to all teeth.

  • Automatically added Block Outs will move automatically along with the tooth movements in subsequent Layers.
Manual Block Out Creation

Select the desired shape from the Block Out list, then click the location where you want to place it.

  • Manually added Block Outs must be repositioned manually in each subsequent Layer.
Block Out Application Range by Layer

When a Block Out is added, a notification dialog is displayed asking whether it should also be applied to other Layers. The application range varies depending on the Layer where the Block Out is added.

  • When selecting ‘Yes’

    1. If a Block Out is added to the first Layer

      • The Block Out is applied to all Layers.
        In this case, the position and size of the Block Out are automatically adjusted according to the tooth movements in each Layer.
        They can also be adjusted manually in each Layer.

    2. If a Block Out is added to a middle Layer

      • The Block Out is applied from the selected Layer to all subsequent Layers.

    3. If a Block Out is added to the last Layer

      • If no Block Out exists in the previous Layers : The Block Out is applied to all Layers.
      • If a Block Out already exists in the previous Layers : The Block Out is applied only to the last Layer.

  • When selecting ‘No’

    The Block Out is applied only to the current Layer, regardless of which Layer it is added to.

※ Notes

Initial Layer Required for Automatic Block Out Size and Position Adjustment

In general, the first Layer already reflects tooth movement. Therefore, a Block Out must exist at the initial tooth position so that its size and position can be automatically adjusted from the initial state to the first Layer. For this reason, an additional initial Layer must be created to define the starting position of the Block Out.

How to Create an Initial Layer

Go to 3D Setup Tab > Edit Setup > Init, then click Add Layer to create Layer 1.
※ To clearly distinguish this Layer from others, it is recommended to rename it to “Block Out Init Layer”.
