provide design recommendations for these indications carbon encourages users to follow the guidelines of your design software for splints and night guards for example, 3shape splint designer requires a 1 5 mm minimum wall thickness both single and double sided splints and night guards print well when following design software guidelines for the validated ema indication, docid\ x2gb7zibmyyrh2f5wcdjs to coordinate design print preparation orientation and supports varies by indication, part type, and orientation strategy splint and night guards all types | vertical orientation compatible with the ao polishing cassette single sided | tilted orientation double sided | tilted orientation ema (elastic mandibular advancement) for sleep apnea layout , print controls , and project analysis are the same for all indications orientation and supports select the indication type and orientation strategy (where applicabe) to expand the steps for orientation and supports splints and night guards | vertical orientation printing splints in a vertical orientation maximizes the amount of splints that can be printed at once orient click on orient (shift + o) in the top bar in the printer interface orient tab in top bar in the lower right corner of the bottom bar, turn on overhang detection (v) and set to 40 degrees areas that need support will appear red red orient the splints so they are about parallel to the platform orient splints parallel to the platform rotate the models 90 degrees with the anteriors facing the platform the models should be standing vertically, perpendicular to the platform rotate splints 90 degrees support click on supports (shift + s) in the top bar in the printer interface supports tab in top bar for the part position , select above to lift parts off the platform click the manual tab and select patch for supports generation method add supports click on the anterior surface of a splint to select a patch under the patch tab, adjust the overhang to between 40 and 60 degrees select a value to ensure that the patch covers the six anterior teeth in the primary support type dropdown menu, select fence fences are easier to remove and require less finishing than other support types enter a spacing value between 2 5 and 4 mm make sure the boundary fence checkbox is selected margin value should be 0 mm examples of well supported vertically oriented splints single sided splint double sided splint surfaces with supports will require finishing to ensure proper seating splints and night guards single sided | tilted orientation proper orientation of splints is critical to maximize yield by minimizing print defects achieve the required accuracy and surface quality single sided splint 40º tilt with anterior rotated away from platform intaglio surface facing platform orient click on orient (shift + o) in the top bar in the printer interface orient tab in top bar in the lower right corner of the bottom bar, turn on overhang detection (v) and set to 40 degrees areas that need support will appear red red orient the splint so that the intaglio surface is facing the platform adjust the splint so that it is mostly parallel with the platform rotate the splint so that it is at a 40 degree angle from the platform with the posterior close to the platform support carbon recommends using fences they are easy to remove and do not increase the footprint of the splint, enabling more to be fit onto the build platform 💡 toggle platform off ('b' keyboard shortcut) this will hide the platform and allow a clear view while you are adding supports click on supports (shift + s) in the top bar in the printer interface supports tab in top bar for the part position , select above to lift parts off the platform click the manual tab and select fence for supports generation method add supports click a series of points on the perimeter of the splint to define a fence click esc key on keyboard to end a fence and begin another carbon recommends making a series of small fences, rather than making a single continuous fence, to give greater flexibility to reposition points hold down the e key and click with the mouse to reposition points click generate to create the fence geometry this may take a few minutes continue steps 1 4 until the entire perimeter is supported click done in the upper left corner when finished support the entire perimeter entire perimeter of the platform side of the model avoid supporting areas that come in direct contact with teeth avoid supporting areas that come in direct contact with teeth as this can affect fit and function example of well supported tilted splint splints and night guards double sided | tilted orientation double sided splints are oriented similarly to single sided splints, but determining which side should be supported requires comparing both sides using overhang detection carbon recommends supporting the side that has the fewest overhangs and thus requires the fewest supports this has a number of benefits part accuracy resulting from fewer unsupported overhangs on intaglio surface minimizes time creating the supports in the software reduces resin usage reduces finishing time by minimizing support nubs each splint is evaluated by duplicating it, flipping the copy, turning on the overhang detection tool, and then seeing which part has the fewest overhangs (red area) if there is not a clear difference, then either side may be supported in this example, the maxillary side of the splint has fewer overhangs and should be the side that is supported proper orientation of splints is critical to maximize yield by minimizing print defects achieve the required accuracy and surface quality double sided splint 40º tilt with anterior rotated away from platform mandibular or maxillary surface facing platform to minimize supports orient click on orient (shift + o) in the top bar in the printer interface orient tab in top bar adjust the splint so that it is mostly parallel with the platform either side of the splint can face the platform duplicate and flip the splint click layout in the main bar in the printer software click the splint model to select it enter 1 in number of copies and click duplicate a duplicate of the model will appear click orient in the main bar type 180 in the y axis field and press enter click layout again move the models apart from each other so they do not overlap you now have 2 copies of the splint one with maxillary impression facing the platform one with mandibular impression facing the platform rotate double sided splints so that it is at a 40 degree angle from the platform with the posterior close to the platform select both models rotate the splints until the anterior portions are at 40 degrees from the platform the posterior of the splint should be touching the platform compare overhangs click toggle platform button in the lower toolbar or press the b key to hide the platform this will allow you to see the overhang areas clearly click overhang detection or press the v key and set to 30º to find areas that need support orient the camera so that you see the models from the bottom (platform side) and can clearly see the red overhang areas orbit around the models as needed to make sure you can see all overhang areas you may want to adjust the model tilt ±5º to reduce overhangs you can adjust the models independently after carefully comparing the models, delete the model that has the most overhangs if there is no clear difference in overhang area, either one is fine to select support carbon recommends using fences they are easy to remove and do not increase the footprint of the splint, enabling more to be fit onto the build platform 💡 keep platform off ('b' keyboard shortcut) this will hide the platform and allow a clear view while you are adding supports click on supports (shift + s) in the top bar in the printer interface supports tab in top bar for the part position , select

surfaces polished/cameo surfaces if the supports are attaching at a horizontal angle , they may detach during printing causing part deformation supports should attach to the surface of the part that is facing the platform creating vertically oriented support tips please reapply the supports and move the attachment points to address this issue if this problem occurs troubleshooting if the supports
