Making in-house aligners possible with CS Model+ V5 and Formlabs

When practitioners combine the latest version of CS Model+ v5.2 with Formlabs’ validated Form 3B printer, they can design and print affordable clear aligners in practice with ease, helping them meet patient demand and respond to industry needs.
With advanced algorithms and cutting-edge artificial intelligence, CS Model+ v5.2, is now even more intuitive and boasts new features such as automatically generated intermediate treatment steps, IPR suggestions and a library of attachments. The software can also directly export to Formlabs PreForm for immediate printing on the Form 3B, streamlining aligner treatment for all.
The workflow using CS Model+ and the Form 3B is designed to be easy to use in the dental practice. By expanding the accessibility of digital technology in dentistry, Carestream Dental and Formlabs are providing a platform for clinicians to incorporate 3D printing into their daily practice and enable advancements in precise, customised patient care.
After a base scan is captured with either a CS 3800 wireless, CS 3700 or CS 3600 intraoral scanner, CS Model+ v5.2 automatically generates a degree of difficulty rating with a simple colour code system. Since patients don’t always understand why they wouldn’t be a good candidate for aligners, the color-coded teeth on the virtual model—from green for simple to red for complex—makes it easier for clinicians to explain why more traditional treatment methods may be necessary.
What makes this latest version of CS Model+ unique is its ability to automate much of the case, reducing manual input from the professional. For example, the software can automatically manage the first step of interproximal reduction (IPR) if it is below 0.2 mm per side.
