Preparing dental models in MeshMixer for 3D printing

One of the biggest benefits of printing your own in-office aligners is having a digital 3D dental model on hand instead of an alginate impression that needs to be poured up with stone. Using an intraoral scan to generate an stl file provides not only a quick and comfortable service to the patient but also a permanent file that can be used for the patient’s records. Printing technology has evolved to the point where 3D scanning coupled with a slicer can produce hundreds of dental models with ease. #dental3dprinting #digitalorthodontics
