Unlock the Full Power of 3Shape Dental System.
If you use a non-3Shape scanner (like Medit, iTero, or Carestream) but design in 3Shape, you know the frustration. Often, the software restricts certain modules like Model Builder or limits the “RealView” texture because it detects an “imported mesh.”
China Dental Labo solves this compatibility issue. Our STL to DCM Conversion Service repackages your open files into the native 3Shape format, allowing you to work as if the scan came directly from a TRIOS scanner.
Why Do You Need This Conversion?
Converting your generic STL files to DCM offers distinct advantages for high-end digital labs:
Technical Benefits
- Unlock Model Builder: Create hollow, sectioned, printable models easily. (3Shape often blocks this for imported STLs without an add-on license).
- Preserve Color (PLY to DCM): We map the color texture correctly so you can see the gingiva shade and margin lines clearly during design.
- Correct Coordinates: We ensure the Upper, Lower, and Bite registration are locked in the correct coordinate system to prevent occlusion errors.
Workflow Efficiency
- Project Creation: We create the “.3nz” or “.dcm” order file for you, pre-filling the patient info and tooth numbers.
- Archive Ready: Store your cases in a standardized format consistent with your native TRIOS cases.
Supported Input Devices
We can convert scans from almost any open intraoral scanner:
- Medit: i500, i700, i900 (STL/PLY).
- Align: iTero Element (Exported STL).
- Carestream: CS 3600/3700/3800.
- Shining 3D: Aoralscan.
- Desktop Scanners: DOF, Medit, Shining.
How It Works
- Upload: Zip your STL/PLY files (Upper, Lower, Bite) and send them via our portal or email.
- Processing: Our technicians import the data into our licensed 3Shape system and re-export it as a native order.
- Download: You receive a compressed 3Shape file (.3nz) ready to import directly into your Dental Manager.
