The first step of any project that as has been set to have both jaws, is the Articulator Scan.

'''For Articulator scan it is not necessarily meant that an Articulaotr Articulator needs to be scanned; the required scan is the acquisition of the occlusion either using the articulator on its specific support or putting the two models in occlusion on the model holder'''

If the user needs to scan an articulator, we suggest to tilt it backwardsbackward, to be able to get as much information as possible. This is just a suggestion as not all articulators can be tilted.

In the live view of the scanning interface , you can actually see that if the articulator is standing straight it will be difficult to acquire the occlusion properly.

The first second step of any project that as has been set to have both jaws, is the Lower Model Scan. All steps, except for the articulator one, include two sub-steps: the actual scan and the edit of the acquired image.

This scan has been performed with the Reference Rim. Everytime Every time the user launches a scan for models, dies or markers and , if the software recognises recognizes that the reference rim has not been used the following message shows.

The user can , therefore , decide wether whether to cancel the scan, put the reference rim on the model holder and start a new scan, or to scan without using the reference rim. For information on the reference rim visit the [[Accessories|Accessories]] page.

This step allows to edit the aquired acquired image; for detailed information on all the available options in this step visit the [[Edit|Edit Tools]] page.

The image at this step can be both edited or trimmed. At this stage , it is actually important not to edit too much the image or cutting big chunks of information, since it would make it more difficult for the software to calculate the automatic alignment of the object to its reference.<br />In this case, to trim the object, the base cut tool has been used and accepted by double -clicking on the model.

The upper model can still be edited as shown for the lower model. This time, we will edit the image using a selection tool and cuttign wiith cut with the delete button on the keybordkeyboard.

To learn more on about the automatic alignment and the manual procedure visit our [[Align|Alignment Interface]] page.

At this point , the software immediately starts mesh generation. The meshes can be edited and exported individually or as a unique image. To learn more about mesh editing visit our [[Mesh|Mesh Tools]] page.
