Choosing the right export options to print fast, accurately, and save resin.

Export options adjust how models get created when exported from the treatment planning software.

‍Preset

You can select the pre-determined common configurations in the Preset Options dropdown menu.

Orientation

There are 4 options for export orientation:

• Horizontal: Lays the model flat on the printing bed to print horizontally. It prints the models the fastest.
• Vertical: Extrudes support on the base of the end of the model for printing vertically. More models can fit on the build plate at a time but take longer to print. You can setup the vertical tilt angle by entering the degree of tilt for vertical models at Vertical Tilt Angle(deg).
• Vertical (Baseplate): Creates a baseplate that joins the two supports of the model for vertical printing. Adding a baseplate helps prevent models from falling off the build plate and increases the rigidity of the model for removal from the build plate.
• Occlusion: Keeps the models in their original occlusion.

Hollow Mode

You can select a hollow mode from the dropdown menu and set the thickness of the walls for hollow models by entering a amount at Wall Thickness(mm).

There are 4 options for hollow mode:

• Solid: Keeps the model solid. Simple and avoids the mess of having to drain models.
• Hollow (Open): Creates an open cavity in the rear of the model. Saves a lot on resin, but make sure the walls are thick enough to avoid deforming during vacuum forming.
• Hollow (2D Infill): Fills the cavity with a 2D geometric pattern for support.
• Hollow (3D Infill): Fills the cavity with a 3D geometric pattern for support. These supports give the right combination of the resin savings of a hollow model and the increased print reliability and dimensional accuracy of solid models.

Infill Style

You can select the infill style from the dropdown menu. There are 3 infill patterns: Hexagonal, Triangular, Rectangular. Infill style is available only when Hollow (3D Infill) or Hollow (2D Infill) is selected.

Label

Labels get automatically created for your models. They are an abbreviated version of the first and last name of your patient, followed by the model number out of the series.

There are 3 options for label mode:

A. Bottom: Places the label on the bottom of the model. You cannot use the gum label placement if exporting hollow models.

B. Gum: Places the label on the side of the model. You can pick between placing the label on the inside or outside, left or right side of the model. Use this option for hollow or horizontal models.

C. No Label: Not placing labels on the model.

You can choose where the label should be printed on the model: Inside Left, Inside Right, Outside Left, Outside Right.
