<translate>
= Recommended Systems = 


The Computers connected to our scanners have to meet specific requirements.


In order to simplify the choice, we recommend this reference system:


# Dell XPS (with Intel i7)

To grant the best system’s performances the Pc must be dedicated to the Scanner and daily work activities, set up to respect this specifications:

* the Windows installed version must be original;
* Windows must not be running shell customizations like Classic Theme Restore or Classic Menu;
* the chosen Cad Software must be original;
* the additional software installed on the computer must be relevant to allow tech support activities

== Minimum Requirements == 

=== Software === 


These are the minimum requirements our software needs:


{|
| ''Component''
|align="right" style="padding-left:50px;"| ''Requirement''
|-
| '''Operating System'''
|align="right" style="padding-left:50px;"| Windows 7/8/8.1/10 (64 bit)
|-
| '''CPU'''
|align="right" style="padding-left:50px;"| Intel® Quad Core ™ or Better
|-
| '''RAM'''
|align="right" style="padding-left:50px;"| 8Gb RAM or Better
|-
| '''Minimun required Video Card'''
|align="right" style="padding-left:50px;"| NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti or Better * NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or Better * NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 or Better *
|-
| '''Suggested Video Card'''
|align="right" style="padding-left:50px;"| NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 or Better * NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 or Better * 
|}


The Video Card has important additional requirements:


* Only NVIDIA GeForce cards are supported by the system
* The NVIDIA QUADRO line is not supported
* The name scheme for the NVIDIA cards is complex, as specified [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvidia_graphics_processing_units in this page]. To check if a card is better than another, check the ''''Core Config'''' column of the table. A card with less than 300:40:30 cores is not supported. Particular attention has to be given to the appendix of the card name. E.g. the GTX 560 Ti is good enough but the GTX 560M is not.

=== Scanner Connection === 


In order to work properly, the scanner needs to be correctly connected to the PC. Make sure to check here-below the necessary connections for your scanning system.


NeWay scanning system can be connected to a Computer through only 2 cables:


* '''1 USB 3.0 Port''' that has to be directly connected to the Computer's motherboard. Only '''Intel C220 or Better''' and '''Rensas USB 3.0''' are supported. Other USB chipsets could not properly work.
* 1 HDMI Port

Align

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Alignment Interface|noerror}}
<translate>

=General Alignment= 


The alignment is an intermediate step that often goes unnoticed since it is almost always automatic. In fact, when the automatic alignment succeeds, the user will only see an alignment check window.


{{Screenshot|Wizard-aligned-items.PNG}}


The alignment check window shows all the aligned items in different colors and a specific toolbar:


;{{List button|prevAction.png}} Previous: Goes back to the previous step. Icon not active during the first scanning step.
;{{List button|fixAlignAction.png}} Fix Alingment: Shows a list of the aligned items to allow the user to fix one of them, should it be incorrect.
;{{List button|nextAction.png}} Next: Goes forward one step in the project. This option is not available until all the items have been identified and separated.


When clicking on the {{Inline button|fixAlignAction.png}} button, the aligned items list is shown.


{{Screenshot|wizard-fix-alignment.PNG}}


By clicking on one of the aligned items, the manual alignment panel opens to allow the user to fix the automatically performed alignment.


{{Screenshot|aling_interface.png}}


In the manual alignment step are shown, in the center of the window, the fixed or reference element to which the detailed item will be aligned; in the upper right corner, the floating or moving item that will be matched with the reference; a specific toolbar.


;{{List button|cancel.png}} Exit : Exits the Options section.
;{{List button|bestFitAction.png}} Best Fit: Fixes the alignment between the two images. This action is usually automatic.
;{{List button|viewFloatAction.png}} View Floating: Shows or hides the image of the floating/ moving item.
;{{List button|BigpanelAction.jpg}} Big Panel: Shows the floating item in a bigger panel.
;{{List button|Ok.png}} Accept : Accepts the changes and closes the option section.


To perform the alignment, put the two images (fixed and moving) in the same position and mark one point on the same spot of both items. If necessary, due to difficult matches or lack of information, it is possible to place multiple points on the images.


[[File:manual.align.gif]]


Accept or cancel the changes to continue with the project.

=Implant Markers= 


When acquiring the data for a project on implants, acquiring the implant itself is problematic. It's not like a stump or a piece of stone model. The implant connections/interfaces are normally small and metallic.


Moreover, the fitting has to be mechanically perfect, with no margin of error.


To solve this problem, the implant connection is not directly scanned but a '''Implant Marker or Scan Body''' is used instead. A Scan Body is a specific object, designed to be scanned, which fits exactly over the implant.


The scan of the implant marker itself is not enough: its resulting data will be used to compute the exact position of the implant interface. In order to carry out this operation, an [[Implant_Library|Implant Library]] is needed.


The alignment to the implant library can be performed in the CAD software. However, using an implant library for Exocad's Platform, the user can perform this operation directly in the scanning software ScanWay, in order to get better results.

==Library Selection== 


The implant library selection is automatically shown when all the items of the project have been acquired.


{{Screenshot|select_library.png}}


The Panel is divided into 4 Sections:


;Library: For choosing the general connection and implant family, contains:
* A Filter box where it is possible to write part of the name of the needed implant. All the implants that match the name will be showed in the implant list
* An implant list with all the implants available in the current Implant Library
;Type and Sub Type :For Choosing the diameter and type of connection. There can be many of these types, in our libraries, for instance, there are:
* Engaging Connections : the connection can not rotate on the implant, suggested for abutments or single restorations
* Not-Engaging Connections : the connection can rotate on the implant, suggested for bars and bridges
* For Zirconia : connections with specific shapes, suited for zirconia restorations
;Preview :Shows the preview of the STL marker present in the library
;Info : If the library is correctly configured to work with our software, in this section it is possible to have a small overview of the libraries with additional information on the available diameters and implant types.
All our libraries are provided with this feature and, being connected to this wiki, the ''Open in browser'' button opens the wiki on the implant list page.


To accept the implant selection click on ''Select'', otherwise ''Cancel''.


'''If the CAD design is launched using a wrong connection it will be necessary to restart all the design from the beginning'''

==Marker Alignment== 


Once the library has been selected, the wizard shows the marker alignment step.


{{Screenshot|aling_marker_interface.png}}


The interface shows all the acquired markers; an image of the STL of the library with a premarked point; a teeth graphic showing the elements that need to be aligned; a specific toolbar.


The toolbar offers this options:
;{{List button|prevAction.png}} Previous: Goes back to the previous step. Icon not active during the first scanning step.
;{{List button|changeImplantLibAction.png}} Change implant library : Allows to change implant library, for instance, if in one case have been used different connections.
;{{List button|showJawAction.png}} Show model : Shows or hides the reference model underneath the markers.
;{{List button|resetAlignAction.png}} Reset: Restarts the alignment from the beginning.
;{{List button|nextAction.png}} Next: Goes forward one step in the project. This option is not available until all the items have been aligned.


To align it is simply necessary to move the scanned markers to mimic the position of the library STL shown in the upper right corner of the window. When the marker is in the correct position, mark one point as suggested in the library image. Repeat for all the acquired elements, not necessarily following any order.

The fifth and last icon of the project definition page opens the expert project page.


{{Screenshot|Newproject_expert.png}}


The Expert Project, is a bridge category between the free mode and all the other projects. In fact, it has no information when is created but, throughout the project, a structure builds up to aid the user to select the proper elements and details. The user will still be free to decide the scanning order of the elements in a safe wizard-like structure.


This project could be used as a training center to later start scanning in free mode.


As the project has no initial structure, in the definition phase almost nothing needs to be set. Practically the user only needs to input some '''General Information''' and select the CAD Type:


* Patient's name
* Doctor's name (Optional)
* Notes (Optional)
* A check box to decide whether or not to use the Reference Rim.


It is possible to write freely in the Doctor and Notes boxes. As for the Patient, it is possible to:


*Write freely in the box
*Create a new profile clicking on the ''Search/Create'' button
*Search the database for an already existing profile clicking on the ''Search/Create'' button


The '''Search/Create Button''' opens the following window:


[[File:search.PNG]]


This window allows searching the project database for already existing patients. A filter can be applied and, for those who use VDDS protocols, the research can be restricted to that specific database.


By clicking on the ''Create'' button, the following window opens:


[[File:create_patient.PNG]]


The patient creation panel allows to input general information regarding the patient and the treatment, such as:


*The patient's name
*The patient's birth date
*The patient's sex
*The doctor's name
*The patient's insurance ID, where applies
*Some notes


Once all the information has been filled in, select '''Ok''' to accept the data or '''Cancel''' to discard the changes and go back to the project definition page.


Then select the CAD in the available section, to choose one of the software integrated with our scanning system for automatic transmission of the STL information.


[[File:Cad_selection.PNG]]


*Exocad
*DWOS
*3Shape
*VDDS protocol (for orthodontics)
*Onyx Ceph (for orthodontics)


If '''No Cad''' is selected, the software will then ask the user to define an export path for the STL files.


To start the project accept the definition with the {{Inline button|Ok.png}} button.


To find specific information on how to scan in Expert mode, go to the [[ExamplesExpert|Expert Scanning Project]] example page.

The first icon in the [[NewPrj|Project Creation]] page opens the Prosthesis Project definition.

{{Screenshot|Newproject.PNG}}


The Project definition window is divided into 5 sections.

==Tooth Definition== 


The first window on the left ''Teeth'' allows to select the items that will be scanned, their options and accessory scans.


{{Screenshot|teeth.png}}


By clicking on a element, the tooth definition panel opens.


[[File:tooth selection.png]]


The possible choices are:


;{{List button|none.png}} None : Doesn't mark the tooth as part of the project and closes the tooth definition panel to go back to the previous step.
;{{List button|healthy.png}} Healthy : Marks the tooth as healthy element. This tooth is part of the main stone model, it can be acquired with the rest of the model. If used on a completely healthy oppposing jaw, it sets the project to scan an opposing stone model.
;{{List button|Die.png}} Die : Marks the tooth as a prepared die. This tooth is a removable die that has to be acquired alone or on the Multi-Die support.
;{{List button|Implant-def.png}} Implant : Signals that in the established position there is an implant, and a marker will be scanned.
;{{List button|Antagonist.png}} Bite Antagonist : Marks that the selected tooth is part of a silicon bite. To set a stone model as antagonist use '''healthy'''.
;{{List button|Pontic.png}} Pontic : Marks the tooth as pontic element of a bridge.


If an elements is marked as '''Die''', '''Implant''' or '''Pontic''', further options are made available:


[[File:opzionidente.PNG]]


;{{List button|waxupIcon.png}} Waxup : Indicates that on the selected tooth there is a Waxup element to be scanned.
;{{List button|situIcon.png}} Situ : Indicates that for the selected tooth there is a situ or pre operative model that has to be scanned.
;{{List button|gingivaIcon.png}} Gingiva : Indicates that the selected element also has a gingiva item that will be scanned separately.


Once the tooth category has been defined, and the options selected, accept with '''Ok''' or discard the changes with '''Cancel'''.


By holding {{Inline button|Key_ctrl.png}} when clicking on a tooth, the last defined element type will be copied to the selected tooth.


By holding {{Inline button|Key_shift.png}} when clicking on a tooth, the last set parameters will be copied to all the teeth between the last tooth and the selected one.


The connector dots become available when an item has a waxup as an accessory scan. Click on the dot to change its status: ''green'' = connected; ''grey'' = not connected.

==Project== 


{{Screenshot|prj-section.png}}


The Project section allows the user to input some '''General Information''':


* Patient's name
* Doctor's name (Optional)
* Notes (Optional)
* A check box to decide whether or not to use the Reference Rim.


It is possible to write freely in the Doctor and Notes boxes. As for the Patient, it is possible to:


*write freely in the box
*Create a new profile clicking on the ''Search/Create'' button
*Search the database for an already existing profile clicking on the ''Search/Create'' button


The '''Search/Create Button''' opens the following window:


[[File:search.PNG]]


This window allows to search the project database for already existing patients. A filter can be applied and, for those who use VDDS protocols, the research can be restricted to that specific database.


By clicking on the ''Create'' button, the following window opens:


[[File:create_patient.PNG]]


The patient creation panel allows to input general information regarding the patient and the treatment, such as:


*The patient's name
*The patient's birth date
*The patient's sex
*The doctor's name
*The patient's insurance ID, where applies
*Some notes


Once all the information has been filled in, select '''Ok''' to accept the data or '''Cancel''' to discard the changes and go back to the project definition page.

==Movement Marker== 


Select the '''Movement Marker''' box if you want to scan this kind of object for combining the CAD with a Digital Jaw Movement system like ZEBRIS.


{{Screenshot|movmark_section.png}}

==Model Types== 


This section allows to choose the kind of model that will be scanned.


{{Screenshot|model_section.png}}


By clicking on the model image, a model selection panel opens.


[[File:model_type.PNG]]


The available choices are:


; {{List button|unsectionedModel.png}} Unsectioned Model : enable this option if the model to be scanned is not sectioned, the scanner will not require a separate scan for every die.
; {{List button|normalModel.png}} Sectioned Model : default workflow, in which every element is acquired separately and all the information gets merged at the end.
; {{List button|quadrantModel.png}} Quadrant Model : if the ''Concept Quad Scan Module'' is enabled, it is possible to scan all the parts of a Quadrant Tray in just one step. Both sectioned and unsectioned quadrant models are supported.
; {{List button|impressionModel.png}} Impression Scan : check this option to scan an impression and not a stone model. It is also possible, choosing the right option, to scan an impression and stone dies.

==CAD Integration== 


When the project is started directly from Exocad, the STL files produced in the scanning process will be transmitted to Exocad in just one click. On the other end, if the project gets created in the scanning software, the automatic export to CAD will not be configured, unless it is selected in this section.


{{Screenshot|Cad_section.png}}


By clicking on the '''No CAD''' box the CAD selection window opens


[[File:Cad_selection.PNG]]


and it allows to choose one of the software integrated with our scanning system for automatic trasmission of the STL information.


*Exocad
*DWOS
*3Shape
*VDDS protocol (for orthodontics)
*Onyx Ceph (for orthodontics)


If '''No Cad''' is selected, the software will then ask the user to define an export path for the STL files.

==Articulators== 


The last section allows to select an articulator to use the ''Dynamic Articulation Module''.


{{Screenshot|Arti_section.png}}


'''If the Dynamic Articulation module is not active on the license this section will not be available'''


[[File:Articulator_selection.PNG]]


Remember that '''it is always possible to scan any kind of articulator''', this section is only to be used if you want to scan with the dynamic articulation module and pass the occlusion position in the Virtual Articulator of Exocad.


The Articulators available in Exocad and therefore in our software are:


; {{List button|artex.png}} Artex : to scan the Artex Articulator and to use the same in Exocad's Virtual Articulator
; {{List button|sam.png}} Sam/ Adesso : to scan the Sam Articulator or the Adesso splitcast and to use the same in Exocad's Virtual Articulator
; {{List button|a7.png}} Protar- Kavo : to scan the Kavo Articulator and to use the same in Exocad's Virtual Articulator
; {{List button|protar.png}} A7 - Bioart : to scan the Bioart Articulator and to use the same in Exocad's Virtual Articulator
; {{List button|denar.png}} Denar by Whipmix : to scan the Denar Articulator and to use the same in Exocad's Virtual Articulator


To start the project accept the definition with the {{Inline button|Ok.png}} button.

In this page will be explained how to scan a project in Expert mode. This kind of project has no wizard, so the only information required for creating the project is the general information section and the CAD selection.


{{Screenshot|prj-definition-expert.png}}


As no information has been provided, in this project there are no fixed steps, the user can scan any object in any order. In this demo project, an upper jaw, and two dies have been scanned, aligned and meshed.


'''It is not necessary to follow the order of operations of this demo; still, it is suggested to align the items before meshing them'''

==Upper Jaw== 


To start scanning click on the '''Scan Button'''{{Inline button|scanAction.png}}. The software will ask the user to select the type of object to be scanned and its position. It is also possible to add an extra element to this scan that will always be connected to it.

Here is our scan definition:

Once the profile has been selected the upper model scan can be started as it were already an healthy part. Place the model on the model holder and click the '''Scan Button'''{{Inline button|scanAction.png}}. Once the scan is finished the result will be shown.


[[File: upper-expert-steps.png]]


Also in the Expert project, the steps are divided into different moments, by clicking the next button {{Inline button|nextAction.png}} the edit mode activates. Edit or trim the model using the available tools and click next. For detailed information on all the available options in this step visit the [[Edit|Edit Tools]] page.

To start another scan, click on the Scan button{{Inline button|scanAction.png}}.

== Dies == 


In the Expert project, it is possible to use the multi-die, since the user needs to tell the software which items will be scanned. To start the scan, select the items to be scanned and way you wish to scan them (with multi die or not):


[[File: scan-dies-expert.gif]]


At this point, the scan can be started. Place the dies on the chosen support and click the '''Scan Button'''{{Inline button|scanAction.png}}. Once the scan is finished the result will be shown.


[[File: stumps-expert-steps.png]]


As for the previous item, by clicking {{Inline button|nextAction.png}} the edit mode activates.


[[File:edit-dies-expert.gif]]


We've used the multi-die, so the dies will be separated automatically and can be aligned to their reference.

==Alignment== 


Since this project doesn't have a structure, the software cannot start the alignment automatically. The user needs to select the items to align and their reference.


[[File:align-expert1.gif]]


All the items are now in position and the user can start editing the images for mesh generation.

==Reference Editing== 


The reference editing is very important because it avoids exporting double surfaces to the CAD and consequential errors during design. In Structured projects this step is completely automatic.


To delete double surfaces using an automatic tool, select both dies in the list, holding control, right click on the list and select '''Remove From''' -> Healthy.

[[File:edit-helthy-expert2.gif]]


Once all reference images have been edited the mesh can be generated.

==Mesh Generation== 

Since the scanned items have been selected at the beginning of each scan, the meshing profile will be selected automatically.

[[File:mesh-gen-expert1.gif]]


To then Export the generated meshes, just click on the '''CAD''' button in the lower bar.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Calibrate your scanner|noerror}}
<translate>


To calibrate, access the '''service mode''' area from the welcome page, by clicking on '''Service'''.


{{Screenshot|welcome.png}}


The Service page allows the user to Check the scanner connection and to run all the calibrations the scanner needs to function correctly. To learn more about it go to the [[Service|Service]] page.


In this page, it will be explained how to calibrate the scanner.

== Recalibrate Head== 


To launch this tool, click on the Head Calibration {{Inline button|headCalibAction.png}} button;


{{Screenshot|calib-panel.png}}


There are 2 types of calibration:
; Recalibration : Fast procedure to update scanner's calibration periodically or to be performed if the scanner is moved to any other location
; Full Calibration : More complex procedure to be performed after a mechanical repair


This tool uses the [[Accessories|Calibration Kit]] to carry out a new calibration of the Optical Head of the scanner. The procedure is the following:


#Put the calibration kit inside the scanner in the correct position
#Select the calibration type from the drop-down menu
#In the calibration dialog, select from the drop-down menu the exact calibration kit name
#Click '''Start'''


If the calibration kit name is not available in the drop-down menu, the '''Load New Master XML''' button can be used to add a new calibration kit from the appropriate XML description file.


{{Screenshot|Service-master.png}}


The calibration procedure is automatic. Once finished, the software will show one of the following messages:


*'Scanner Already Calibrated' : the calibration is not necessary
*'Scanner Recalibrated Successfully' : the calibration has been completed
*'Scanner Recalibration Failed' : calibration has to be repeated


If the calibration was successful, the '''Axes Calibration''' starts automatically.

==Recalibrate Axes== 


This tool is used to check the movement system of the scanner. The scanner will scan an object, analyze it, and use this data to calibrate the movement system.


This tool will start automatically after a '''Head Recalibration''' or can be started manually with the {{Inline button|axisCalibAction.png}} button.


The software will prompt the user to insert the reference rim on the model holder


'''NOTE THAT THE REFERENCE RIM IS A PRECISION OBJECT! OCCLUSAL AND WHITENING SPRAYS, AND CLEANING SOLVENTS, DAMAGE ITS SURFACE!'''
'''DO NOT SPRAY ANY SUBSTANCE ON THE RIM AS TO DO SO IT WILL NO LONGER BE USABLE FOR SCANNING NOR FOR CALIBRATING!'''


[[File:service-rim-message.png]]


'''When the '''Dynamic Articulation Module''' is enabled, calibrate the axis with the specific [[Accessories|Axis Calibration Object]]. From that moment on, any recalibration needs to be performed with the same object. Otherwise, axis recalibration will fail.'''


The software will show an image of the object needed to calibrate the scanner: either the calibration object (if the Dynamic articulation module is active on the license) or a stone model.


{{Screenshot|axes_cal.png}}


# Put the calibration object inside the scanner
# Click '''Recalibrate Axis'''
# Click '''Ok''' when prompted


The calibration procedure is automatic. Once it is finished, the software will show one of the following messages:


*'Axes Recalibration Successfull' : the calibration has been completed,
*'Axes Recalibration Successfull, Dynamic Articulation Calibration Failed' : the calibration has been completed, however, the dynamic articulation positioning will not work. This message shows when the dynamic articulation module is active on the license, but the scanner has been calibrated with a normal stone model.
*'Axes Recalibration Failed' : calibration has to be repeated

==Color Calibration== 


This last calibration, that can be opened by clicking on the icon {{Inline button|colorCalibAction.png}}, allows calibrating the acquired colors of the scanner to have realistic color results.


To calibrate the colors, hold a piece of paper in front of the cameras, as prompted by the message, and click OK.


{{Screenshot|service-colors-message.png}}


'''It is important that the whole field is covered by the white paper. Take a look at the following pictures to replicate a correct positioning of the white sheet.'''

In this page will be explained how to scan a project in Expert mode. This kind of project has no wizard, so the only information required for creating the project is the general information section and the CAD selection.


{{Screenshot|prj-definition-expert.png}}


As no information has been provided, in this project there are no fixed steps, the user can scan any object in any order. In this demo project, an upper jaw, and two dies have been scanned, aligned and meshed.


'''It is not necessary to follow the order of operations of this demo; still, it is suggested to align the items before meshing them'''

==Upper Jaw== 


To start scanning click on the '''Scan Button'''{{Inline button|scanAction.png}}. The software will ask the user to select the type of object to be scanned and its position. It is also possible to add an extra element to this scan that will always be connected to it.

Here is our scan definition:


[[File:start-scan-expert.gif]]


Once the profile has been selected the upper model scan can be started as it were already an healthy part. Place the model on the model holder and click the '''Scan Button'''{{Inline button|scanAction.png}}. Once the scan is finished the result will be shown.


[[File: upper-expert-steps.png]]


Also in the Expert project, the steps are divided into different moments, by clicking the next button {{Inline button|nextAction.png}} the edit mode activates. Edit or trim the model using the available tools and click next. For detailed information on all the available options in this step visit the [[Edit|Edit Tools]] page.

To start another scan, click on the Scan button{{Inline button|scanAction.png}}.

== Dies == 


In the Expert project, it is possible to use the multi-die, since the user needs to tell the software which items will be scanned. To start the scan, select the items to be scanned:


[[File: scan-dies-expert.gif]]


At this point, the scan can be started. Place the dies on the chosen support and click the '''Scan Button'''{{Inline button|scanAction.png}}. Once the scan is finished the result will be shown.


[[File: stumps-expert-steps.png]]


As for the previous item, by clicking {{Inline button|nextAction.png}} the edit mode activates.


[[File:edit-stups-expert.gif]]


Two dies have been scanned together and are therefore saved in the same image. To be able to use them in a design project it is needed to separate the two items and create two different images. To do so, right-click on the '''Stump''' image in the items' list and click '''Clone Item Action'''.


{{Screenshot|clone-stumps.png}}


Now edit and rename the two images, leaving only one element per image.


[[File:separate-stumps-expert.gif]]


When all the items are in separate images, they can be aligned to their reference.

==Alignment== 


Since this project doesn't have a structure, the software cannot start the alignment automatically. The user needs to select the items to align and their reference.


[[File:align-expert.gif]]


All the items are now in position and the user can start editing the images for mesh generation.

==Reference Editing== 


The reference editing is very important because it avoids exporting double surfaces to the CAD and consequential errors during design. In Structured projects this step is completely automatic.


To delete double surfaces, click on the reference image (in this case the upper model) in the items' list and edit out the parts that were scanned separately.


[[File:edit-helthy-expert.gif]]


Once all reference images have been edited the mesh can be generated.

==Mesh Generation== 

As for the scans, different items get meshed in different ways. The user has to select a meshing profile for each item.


[[File:mesh-gen-expert.gif]]


To then Export the generated meshes, right click on the meshed elements in the items' list and select '''Export Items'''. The software will ask the user to select the folder for the export.

Also in the Expert project, the steps are divided into different moments, by clicking the next button {{Inline button|nextAction.png}} the edit mode activates. Edit or trim the model using the available tools and click next. For detailed information on all the available options in this step visit the [[Edit|Edit Tools]] page.

To start another scan, click on the Scan button{{Inline button|scanAction.png}}.

== Dies == 


In the Free project, it is not possible to use the multi-die, since the software doesn't know which items will be scanned. Therefore the dies can be scanned in any possible way and combination. In our demo project, we have two dies, and we'll proceed to scan them both on the model holder. To start the scan, the profile needs to be selected:


[[File: scan-stups-expert.gif]]


At this point, the scan can be started. Place the dies on the chosen support and click the '''Scan Button'''{{Inline button|scanAction.png}}. Once the scan is finished the result will be shown.


[[File: stumps-expert-steps.png]]


As for the previous item, by clicking {{Inline button|nextAction.png}} the edit mode activates.


[[File:edit-stups-expert.gif]]


Two dies have been scanned together and are therefore saved in the same image. To be able to use them in a design project it is needed to separate the two items and create two different images. To do so, right-click on the '''Stump''' image in the items' list and click '''Clone Item Action'''.


{{Screenshot|clone-stumps.png}}


Now edit and rename the two images, leaving only one element per image.


[[File:separate-stumps-expert.gif]]


When all the items are in separate images, they can be aligned to their reference.

==Alignment== 


Since this project doesn't have a structure, the software cannot start the alignment automatically. The user needs to select the items to align and their reference.


[[File:align-expert.gif]]


All the items are now in position and the user can start editing the images for mesh generation.

==Reference Editing== 


The reference editing is very important because it avoids exporting double surfaces to the CAD and consequential errors during design. In Structured projects this step is completely automatic.


To delete double surfaces, click on the reference image (in this case the upper model) in the items' list and edit out the parts that were scanned separately.


[[File:edit-helthy-expert.gif]]


Once all reference images have been edited the mesh can be generated.

==Mesh Generation== 

As for the scans, different items get meshed in different ways. The user has to select a meshing profile for each item.


[[File:mesh-gen-expert.gif]]


To then Export the generated meshes, right click on the meshed elements in the items' list and select '''Export Items'''. The software will ask the user to select the folder for the export.

In this page will be explained how to scan a project in Free mode. This kind of project has no wizard, so the only information required for creating the project is the general information section.


{{Screenshot|prj-definition-free.png}}


As no information has been provided, in this project there are no fixed steps, the user can scan any object in any order. In this demo project, an upper jaw, and two dies have been scanned, aligned and meshed.


'''It is not necessary to follow the order of operations of this demo; still, it is suggested to align the items before meshing them'''

==Upper Jaw== 


To start scanning click on the '''Scan Button'''{{Inline button|scanAction.png}}. Since there are no indications on the object to be scanned, the software will ask the user to select a scanning profile and, if needed, some advanced options. To learn more on the advanced parameters, go to the [[Scan|Scan Interface]] '''page -paragraph Advanced parameters'''.
