Tools

Scan Upper, Lower, and Bite

Perform a full scan of the patient to capture their digital anatomy. Make sure there are no holes in your scan and do your best to capture as much of the surrounding tissue as possible. Complete the bite scan in a closed, resting position for best results.
Export the scans as an STL with the upper and lower arch in occlusion. This is the default export style for most scanners and eliminates the need for a bite scan.

Import into RayWare

Once the night guard design has been approved, the ‘Add To Print Job’ button on the Cloud Design treatment page will automatically generate a build platform in RayWare Cloud. If setting up the build platform manually, select the ‘Occlusal Guard’ print job type. Select the printer and resin you’ll be using. We recommend printing night guards at 100 microns.

Import your design. RayWare will automatically orient the model with the intaglio facing away from the build platform and with the model at an optimal 25-degree angle with supports.

Queue to Printer

Once you’re happy with the setup of your print, select the ‘Send to Queue’ button, then choose the printer you’d like to use for this print job.

You can also use the ‘Print Now’ button, but be sure to thoroughly inspect your printer before you start printing.
