Blue Sky Plan Manual

It is possible to fabricate surgical guides in the program on the basis of imported STL models or a so-called scan appliance. It is also possible to edit the surgical guide fabricated. Surgical guides are fabricated using the functions located on the "Guide" panel (1), which can be opened by clicking on the "File (or Panels) > Guide Fabrication" (2) menu item (while "Normal" or "Advanced" mode is active (3)). The tools are divided into groups according to their purpose. The first group (4) combines elements used jointly for both model types. The second (5) contains a button for fabricating surgical guides on the basis of a scan appliance model. The third (6) contains a function that creates the undercut model. The fourth (7) contains all elements for fabricating an offset surgical guide from a surface model. The fifth (8) contains tools for creating label text. These are followed by panels for creating labels. The method of fabrication differs according to the type of model being processed.
