options to properly prepare your denture bases for printing manually automatically using automate automatic print preparation (app) docid\ rdxnuaghpa5gqfbl5qysb automatically using the auto nest dentures docid\ bznlvig8qrx2ipafwq1sc feature this guide provides instruction for manual preparation first so that the technician understands what a properly oriented and supported base looks like denture bases can be oriented two different ways anterior facing the platform posterior facing the platform both orientations result in good part quality so technicians can choose which option they prefer after describing manual preparation, this course will cover automatic preparation using the auto nest dentures tool please note that it is crucial that you read and understand the manual preparation method so that you evaluate the output of the auto nest tool to ensure proper orientation and supports before starting a build 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 overhang detection click overhang detection button (v key) to find areas that need support set the angle to 30 degrees use patch and fence tools to create supports patch tool the patch tool 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 use patches to create supports for the anterior facial region fence tool fence supports are manually placed by the user and are best suited where precision is required they are best used on linear overhangs or smaller areas fences provide stability while leaving smaller nubs than the default bars option fences are used along the lingual and buccal edges for lower dentures and along lingual edges on upper dentures in some cases, fences are needed on bars or the posterior edges of upper dentures error support couldn't be added sometimes an error will occur when you try to generate a new fence if this happens, the points will turn pink and an error message will appear try making multiple shorter fences or try adding the fence in a slightly different place review supports docid\

critical to achieve the required accuracy failure to orient denture bases according to these instructions may impact accuracy and part quality anterior at platform orientation is not valid for printing with the ao polishing cassette lower denture base 65 degree tilt with posterior rotated away from platform tissue side faces platform anterior touches the platform upper denture base 70 degree tilt with posterior rotated away from platform tissue side faces platform anterior touches the platform tip the lower denture base gets the lower angle step 1 lay dentures flat minimize footprint click orient orient or press shift + o in the main bar in the printer software click minimize footprint minimize footprint button this will orient the base roughly perpendicular to the platform manually lay the denture flat orient the denture base so that the tissue side is flat against the platform click on the denture to select it hover over the y axis loop it will turn green click and hold on the axis loop and rotate until the denture is roughly parallel to the platform change views as needed until the denture is positioned hold shift while rotating to move in 45 degree increments step 2 tilt into position make sure the denture is selected click on the axis loop and rotate the denture into place the anterior of each denture should be touching the platform for lower denture bases, rotate 65 degrees for upper denture bases, rotate 70 degrees your denture bases are now properly oriented and ready to be supported supporting do not put supports on intaglio surfaces setup before starting, optimize the interface for adding fences click toggle platform button in the lower tool bar or press the b key to hide the platform this will enable better visibility during fence creation click overhang detection button (v key) to find areas that need support set the angle to 30 degrees enter support mode click supports supports in the dark gray bar under part position , select above above to create room between the platform and the part click the manual manual tab and select fence fence leave the support attributes at the default values denture edges support the edges of the dentures with the fence tool add supports to the dark red areas on edges indicated by the overhang detection tool upper dentures outer/buccal edge posterior edge lower dentures inner/lingual outer/buccal edges on outer/buccal edges, support at least the width of the 6 anterior teeth upper denture outer edge click a series of points along the edge to define the fence add fences to the darkest red areas click esc key on keyboard to end a fence and begin another hold down the e key and click with the mouse to reposition points click generate all to create the fence geometry this may take a few minutes upper denture posterior edge although upper dentures do not have an inner edge, they may require supports along the posterior edge to ensure proper accuracy lower denture outer edge click a series of points along the edge to define the fence click esc key on keyboard to end a fence and begin another hold down the e key and click with the mouse to reposition points click generate all to create the fence geometry this may take a few minutes lower denture inner edge click a series of points along the edge to define the fence click esc key on keyboard to end

sometimes an error will occur when you try to generate a new fence if this happens, the points will turn pink and an error message will appear try making multiple shorter fences or try adding the fence in a slightly different place tooth pockets the areas below tooth pockets must be supported using the fence tool support both upper and lower dentures be sure to support the papillae (triangular area between teeth) support under all pockets that have overhangs indicated in red adding supports in tooth pockets is discouraged as it may require additional finishing and may affect tooth fit upper denture lower denture t bars click a series of points along the bottom surface of the bars to define the fence click esc key on keyboard to end a fence and begin another hold down the e key and click with the mouse to reposition points click generate all to create the fence geometry this may take a few minutes t bars will typically not need supports anterior area the outer anterior area is typically a large overhang that requires dense fence supports this area is best supported with the patch support tool this is required for both upper and lower dentures the example pictured below is an upper denture while in the supports menu, click the manual tab and select patch patch click in the large overhang on the anterior of the upper base click in the large overhang on the anterior of the upper base a green patch will appear under support attributes click primary support type and select fence fence in the spacing box, type 3 5 mm 3 5 mm scroll down to the bottom of the supports menu and turn boundary fence on boundary fence on adjust the overhang slider until the highlighted overhang areas are covered by the green patch typically this will be between 35 and 45 degrees click
