Software Installation

To install the software, run the installation file with administrator rights. In the various phases of the installation process, it will be possible to choose the destination folder, whether or not to add an icon to our desktop, etc. See the image below which shows an installation step.

This operation takes a few minutes. At the end of the operation, the installation will have created two icons on the desktop

• Maestro 3D Dental Studio the CAD application;
• Maestro 3D Dental Studio Order Management the software for managing the customer database and creating a new case and opening an existing one.

First activation of the license

Before starting check:

• to have an Internet connection;
• to have added to the exceptions list of your firewall and antivirus the executable software Dental.Studio.exe and Dental.Studio.Order.Management.exe;

At the first run the software will show a window like this:

• 1 write the product code assigned and unique for your license;
• 2 write your email to receive confirmation of the activation;
• 3repeat your email;
• 4 write the name you prefer for the workstation;

Press Ok to activate the license.

Important notes on the license

The activation procedure, described above, activates the license on the workstation.

It is necessary to repeat the activation procedure each time the workstation is modified or changed. For this reason, it is recommended to keep the product code.

The maximum number of workstations that can be activated is 5. However, the license cannot work simultaneously in more than one workstation.

The license, after the first activation, can work offline. The workstation may therefore not be connected to the Internet.

Only for the first activation, it is necessary to use an Internet connection.

However, we recommend using the software on a workstation connected to the Internet to check for software updates or if you want to use the cloud interface.

Order Management

The Order Management application allows you to manage work cases.

• database management of clinics, doctors and patients and cases associated with patients;
• creating a new work case, importing files from disk, from cloud, or directly interfacing with the Maestro 3D scanner;
• opening of existing work cases;

• 1 Tab new case;
• 2 Tab open case;
• 3 Clinic, doctor and patient management;
• 4 Input file for the case.
• 5 Tab new pending case coming from cloud;
• 6 Tools to change local storage folder and backup all data.

TIP: make periodic backups of the work case folder.

Create a new (local) work case

Per creare un nuovo caso di lavoro:

• select tab 1 of the new cases;
• select tab 2 of the input file;

To achieve a work case, at least one arch (upper or lower) must be loaded.

Create a new work case (by importing a pending case from the cloud)

Pending cases are new work cases to process that have been uploaded to the cloud by a viewer user who is part of the workgroup via the cloud platform. The user of the viewer through the cloud platform enters the data of the patient, doctor, clinic and input files and waits for their processing.

• 1 Tab new case;
• 2 Tab new pending case coming from cloud;
• 3 Download the updated list of pending cases from the Cloud;
• 4 Table of pending cases;

To create a new work case starting from a pending case on the cloud, right-click on the selected case, activate the context menu and select the item1;

After the import phase and the download of the input files, the areas relating to the clinic, doctor and patient and the input files of the initial screen will be populated.

To start the new case press the Next button.

Open an existing (local) work case

The patient, doctor, or clinic item can be ticked if we want the research to have an effect on these 3 elements. For example, if we enter the name or part of a patient in the search string, all cases related to that patient will be displayed. To cancel the search, simply delete the search string and press the enter key on the keyboard;

Area di visualizzazione e di lavoro

L'area di visualizzazione e di lavoro è l'area della finestra dove i modelli 3D sono visualizzati e dove le operazioni di modifica sono consentite. Nell'area di visualizzazione è possibile visualizzare / creare le basi virtuali, visualizzare l'occlusione fra la mascella e la mandibola, visualizzare le misure dei denti, la lunghezza dell'arco e realizzare e mostrare il setup virtuale e tutte le altre fasi del lavoro.

Per esaminare i modelli visualizzati, i parametri della camera (posizione, scalatura, rotazione) possono essere settati attraverso uno strumento chiamato trackball. La trackball è uno strumento semplice da utilizzare per muovere ed interagire con la scena 3D.

• Premere e trascinare il tasto sinistro del mouse per ruotare intorno al modello;
• Ruotare la rotella centrale del mouse per effettuare lo zoom;
• Premere il tasto centrale del mouse o la rotella per cambiare il centro di rotazione della scena 3D;
• Premere e trascinare il tasto destro per muovere la camera.

Barra laterale

1 Viste canoniche; 2 Occlusioni salvate; 3 Vista a bocca aperta; 4 Visualizza solo il modello superiore; 5 Visualizza solo il modello inferiore; 6 Visualizza modello superiore ed inferiore; 7 Visualizza griglia.

• 4 Resetta la vista;
• 5 Cambia la proiezione della camera che inquadra la scena 3D: proiezione parallela [tasto O], proiezione prospettica [tasto P];
• 6 Cambia le proprietà di illuminazione dei modelli 3D: smooth shading [tasto S], flat shading [tasto F];
• 7 Abilita fotorealismo;
• 8 Abilita le ombre (solo se il fotorealismo è attivo);
• 9 Visualizza / nasconde il colore reale dei modelli 3D, se il colore reale è stato acquisito durante la scansione;
• 10 Visualizza / nasconde i triangoli;
• 11 Visualizza / nasconde i bordi dei triangoli [tasto E];
• 12 Visualizza / nasconde i punti [tasto V].

Un messaggio mostrerà se sono presenti o meno aggiornamenti.

Che caratteristiche devono avere i modelli di input?

I modelli di input devono essere file STL\PLY\OBJ registrati nella corretta occlusione;

• Non devono contenere tunnel;
• Non devono contenere maniglie;
• Devono essere manifold;
• Non devono avere buchi;
• Non devono avere triangoli degeneri (esempio triangoli con zero area);
• Non devono avere triangoli duplicati;
• Non devono avere vertici non riferiti;
• I triangoli devono avere tutti lo stesso orientamento;

CONSIGLIO: Utilizzando lo scanner Maestro 3D si ha la garanzia che i modelli di input siano perfettamente conformi alle richieste del software senza dover utilizzare programmi di terze parti per riparare i modelli.

Come posso cambiare la lingua del software?
