Scan to Model, a new feature in Formlabs' PreForm software, is designed to convert intraoral scans into easily 3D printable models. Dental professionals can use Scan to Model as an entrypoint into digital dentistry workflows without having prior experience with digital dental design software. Creating diagnostic, formed appliance and fit check models is simple, and takes less than an hour: users scan a patient's teeth with a 3D intraoral scanner, upload the raw model into PreForm's Scan to Model tool, and then print with a Formlabs Form 3B printer.
