You must choose a license type, although this is only really applicable if your file is shared as if it is private nobody will be able to download it. Specify whether you want the file to be private or shared, and whether this is a free file or a paid file that you wish to sell. In Section 3 fill out a filename and a short description of your uploaded NRRD file. Section 4 pertains to the generated STL file that democratiz3D will create. The section labeled 3 pertains to the file currently being uploaded, the NRRD file. While the file is uploading you can begin to fill out some of the required form fields. Step 4: Fill in basic information about your uploaded scan and generated model file This is shown in Figure 5.įigure 5: Dragging and dropping the CT scan NRRD file onto the democratiz3D application page. Make sure that the file you are adding is an NRRD file and corresponds to a dental CT scan. Once the online application opens, you will be asked to drag-and-drop your file onto the webpage. On the embodi3D website click on the democratiz3D navigation menu and Launch App, as shown in Figure 4.įigure 4: Launching the democratiz3D service. Now that we are happy with our NRRD source file, we can upload it to the democratiz3D service for conversion into a 3D printable STL file. Step 3: Upload your dental CT scan NRRD file to the democratiz3D online service. You can see as shown in Figure 3 that the file appears to be quite good, without any dental fillings that cause streak artifact.įigure 3: Viewing the dental CT scan in Slicer. Once you have installed and opened Slicer, you can drag-and-drop the downloaded NRRD file onto the slicer window and it will open for you to view. If you don't know about 3D Slicer, it is a free open source medical image viewing software package that can be downloaded from. Once you've downloaded the file you can inspect the CT scan using 3D Slicer. Click on the link below to go to the file download page. This particular scan is a good one to choose because the patient does not have metallic fillings which can create streak artifact which can lower the quality of the model. For this tutorial we will use the file openbiteupdated by member gcross, although you can use any source CT scan.
Many of the scans in this section are perfect for 3D printing dental models. This section contains anonymized CT scans of the teeth and face.
Click on the section within that that says Dental, Orthodontic, Maxillofacial, as shown in Figure 2.įigure 2: Viewing the medical scan library on the embodi3D website Look for the category along the right side of the page that says Medical Scan Files. This will take you to the download section of the website, which has a very large and extensive library of 3D printable anatomy files and source medical scan files.
Go to the navigation bar on the website and click on the Download menu. Step 1: Download the CT scan file for dental 3D printing.
