27.10.2 Design Printable Aligners

This step is intended to be used for drawing and editing the curve for the aligner fabrication. The aligner curve will be generated automatically based on the settings of the "Curve Shape" and "Trim Margin" parameters in Preferences. Both parameters can be adjusted as well and regenerate directly on the Orthodontics panel. These changes are saved in the project. If the parameters are changed in this process, it is necessary to regenerate the curve by clicking the "Reset Curve" button. The generation of aligners is a part of the transition to the STL model export step.


Designing printable aligners curve in Blue Sky Plan

The production of aligners may be ordered at Blue Sky Bio. You must send the STL files containing the models with the 3D profile on them to identify the patient and stage number to Blue Sky Bio. Blue Sky Bio will make the aligners and ship them to you. If at any stage the patient no longer matches your model for that stage (making the aligner not fit) then edit the models and re-order the aligners. More detailed instructions for use are available in Footnotes 31.1.
