Create Step / Edit Step
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.
-
Example: Init > Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 > Layer 1
If 3 aligners are required to reach from Init to layer 1, 3 steps shall be automatically created.
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.
Show All Step
Show All Step
1. 2D
: Displays all steps in 2D images
-
Occlusal view of Mx and Md shall be displayed
2. 3D
: Displays all steps in 3D
Add Attachment
Add Attachment
: Function to add and edit attachments.
Attachment placement during the treatment.
Root control
Anterior and posterior alignment.
-
Left click any attachments from the Attachment list, and left click on a tooth to place it.
-
Use the control arrows to move and rotate.
-
Width and Height can be controlled with +/- button.
-
Delete: Delete selected attachment.
-
Delete all: Delete all attachments.
-
Select Layer of current step of the aligner to apply same attachments for further steps.
-
Use negative attachements.
-
Use Bite ramps for anterior, and molar bite lamps for posterior teeth.
Label
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.
Add(Text) : Displays entered texts only.
Edit : Edit texts.
Delete : Delete selected labels.
-
If changing step, the step number of label shall be automatically changed.
Cutting Line
Cutting Line
: Function to create cutting line for STL files.
User may edit control points to define the area.
-
Last step of each layers shall be automatically selected, and cutting line shall be created automatically.
-
If cutting line is modified in previous and subsequent steps,
the modified trimming line shall automatically reflected on other steps.
User may edit control points to define the area.
-
Edit point position: Left click and drag point to move.
-
Add point: Right click on the contour line to add point.
-
Delete point: Right click on the point to delete.
Tip 1: If creating cutting line moving from last to first step,
this process shall be finished easily and fast due to
apply automatically the modified cutting line information.
Create Auto-Line Location
-
The default position is 1mm below the gingival line
-
You can set the position relative to the gingival line in the settings.
-
If you want to modify the 'Cutting Line & Direct Aligner' value, you can do so in the 'Common Tap' of the settings.

Direct Aligner
Direct Aligner
: The function you are referring to is called direct printing of aligners without a model.
When the function is executed, the Direct Aligner line is automatically generated
-
The last step of the selected layer is automatically chosen, and the line corresponding to that step is automatically generated.
-
When you click the Export button after reviewing the line, the selected Direct Aligner of the chosen step will be exported.
Editing the line can be done by modifying the control points.
-
Point Position Modification: Click and drag the point.
-
Adding a Point: Right-click on the curve.
-
Deleting a Point: Right-click on the point.
Create Auto-Line Location
-
The default position is 1mm below the gingival line
-
You can set the position relative to the gingival line in the settings.
-
If you want to modify the 'Cutting Line & Direct Aligner' value, you can do so in the 'Common Tap' of the settings.
Export File
Export File
1. Export mode
: Export STL files of steps within the selected layer
2. Base cutting mode
: Trims unnecessary base parts of selected layer,
then export steps in STL format
Adjust the vertical control to set the plane
to cut
Set the plane to be cut so that it does not pass through the attachments or labels.
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.
