Keystone KeyGuard

overview keystone keyguard™ by keystone industries® is a biocompatible photopolymer resin for the fabrication of custom made athletic mouth guards keystone keyguard™ is available in black, white, purple and green this course will cover digital prep of your splints and night guards to properly prepare them for printing this resin is not currently compatible with the docid\ iffh3q8 wlk liqr87bd5

instructions for use (ifu) https //keyprint keystoneindustries com/wp content/uploads/2023/11/4915193 ifu keyguard pdf general orientation & support information hide the platform use toggle platform (or press b ) to hide the platform before orienting parts this will make it easier to see overhangs and place supports use patch and fence tools to create supports patch tool the docid\ vubpoaitblm11am9 qj1p speeds up support creation by automatically supporting an area with just a few clicks it is useful for supporting larger areas of overhang that would take longer to support manually it is often useful to support your parts with this tool before manually adding supports fence tool docid\ vubpoaitblm11am9 qj1p are manually placed by the user and are best suited on linear overhangs or smaller areas fences provide stability while leaving smaller nubs than the default bars option review docid\ vubpoaitblm11am9 qj1p in docid\ oid4znztzyelttpvj984a course for more information orienting keyprint keyguard resin offers flexibility when orienting and supporting digital models carbon encourages experimentation within the provided guidelines to determine what works best for your lab the following information applies to all colors orient the mouth guard 1\ click on orient or shift + o in the top bar in the printer interface 2 in the lower right corner of the bottom bar, turn on overhang detection or v key and set to 40 degrees areas that need support will appear red 3\ orient the mouth guard so it is about parallel to the platform 4 rotate the model at least 75 degrees from horizontal with the anterior facing the platform 90 degrees (perpendicular to the platform) is the recommended orientation surfaces that have overhangs will require supports supported surfaces will require finishing to ensure proper seating supporting enter support mode click support in the dark gray bar at the top of screen under position , select above platform to lift parts off the platform click the manual tab and make sure patch is selected add supports under the patch tab, adjust the overhang to between 40 and 60 degrees select a value to ensure that the patch covers the red overhangs on the anterior surface in the primary support type dropdown menu, select bar or fence bars tend to provide a stronger connection to the platform fences are easier to remove and require less finishing than other support types enter a spacing value between 2 and 4 mm make sure the boundary fence checkbox is selected margin value should be 0 mm click generate all to create the supports example of well supported mouth guard nesting select the layout tab layout tab (shift + l) in the top menu bar under auto layout, select gen2 gen2 gen2 usually gives the most effecient packing for dental devices enter at least 1 mm 1 mm in padding padding models require a minimum of 1 mm of space between them leave optimize starting rotation unchecked this leaves your parts in their previous orientations leave allowed rotations at the default setting this gives the software maximum flexibility to fit the most possible parts on the build platform press the auto layout auto layout button to arrange your parts screen shot showing button locations if necessary, nesting can be changed manually click and drag parts to adjust their position modify z rotation by using the spin tool or manual rotations under the orient tab (shift + o) use the part list tab as needed to more easily select models and focus on them print preparation print controls click print controls print controls or shift + p shift + p in the top menu bar slicing slice thickness should be standard (100 µ) reducing the slice thickness by choosing the fine (50 µ) or super fine (25 µ) settings will increase print time and may reduce part quality and accuracy project analysis select the project analysis project analysis tab click start analysis and wait for the processing to complete note the required resin
