導出
如果信息不能被發送到其他軟體,該採集,對齊與轉換的數據是沒用的.導出的功能可以被用來創建可被其他軟體導入的文件。
OpticalRevEng Dental 提供 2種不同的導出類型: 手動和自動.手動導出可以隨時使用在任何類型的專案,自動導出是具體到一個專案. 自動導出功能可配置在 選項對話框
格式
OpticalRevEng Dental 支援下列格式:
- 採集
- '掃描' : 這個導出功能將創建一個文件(.cri) 由掃描儀獲得的每一個3D圖像和其他文件 (.scan) 與數據描述. 它只能被OpticalRevEng Dental使用並且所有的文件需要放在一起。
- 'Z掃描' : 此導出功能與掃描導出功能保存相同的信息, 但在壓縮一切在單個文件
- 網格
- 'STL ASCII/Binary' : STL檔案格式是最常使用的. 大部分3D軟體都能讀取/儲存STL檔案. 它不能儲存所有3D物件的訊息, 例如它們的顏色或在每一個單一面之間的連接, 因此，兩種不同的軟件讀取相同的STL文件可能顯示不同的結果.
- 'OFF ASCII' : OFF 格式是一個非常簡單地檔案格式,如這裡所描述[OFF Format]. 它比STL格式保留更多訊息.
- 'PLY ASCII/Binary' : PLY 格式, 如同 OFF 格式, 能包含更多3D資料的訊息但其他軟體不是能很好的支援.
- 'OBJ' : OBJ 格式只有 ASCII, 它能保持最多的3D資料訊息,甚至顏色,並與大多數軟件兼容.
如果需要最大程度的兼容性,最好用的格式是STL.如果目標是保持最準確的三維數據,OBJ格式比較好.
手動導出
有兩種方式來保存採集和磁碟上的網格.
單一物件導出
To export a single element from the project:
- Right click on the element in the Project Tree
- Select Export.. from the Context Menu
- From the dialog that will pop up, select where to save the file, its name and format for the data.
Multi Object Export
To export more than one element of the project in the same file:
- Select from the Project Tree all the data that have to be exported together
- From the File menu, select the Export Visible function
- From the dialog that will pop up, select where to save the file, its name and format for the data.
Automatic Export
To use the automatic export function, click on the Export To CAD button in the Main Toolbar. The software will then export all the project data, according to the selected Exporter Profile.
Exporter Profile
An exporter profile is a set of parameters that tells the software how to export the data for a specific Cad system. There could be up to 4 different Default Exporting profiles, on for each type of module (Prosthesis, Orthodontic, Impression and Scheletric). To make an example, the Exporter profile for the Scheletric Module will have as default format for Export the OBJ. In the Deluxe model the OBJ will be in color, in all other scanners will be in gray-scale allowing the recognition of the drawn lines by third parties softwares like Digisteel.
It is possible to modify, add or rename exporter profiles in the Options panel.
If only one profile, called "default", is available, it will be used automatically when clicking the Export To CAD button.
If more than one profile are available, a pop up will ask to select what profile to use.
By holding 
the Export Dialog will open and it will be possible to change the export profile only for that specific export.
Formats
The software exports 3D shapes of the acquired data, 2D images to document the articulation, and can export a thumbnail for every 3D object.
In this section it is possible select which format to use.
Check with the cad system in use which of the formats is more appropriate.
Options
- Merge dies with healthy parts
- If this option is enabled the software will merge all the dies and the healthy parts and export only one file for the entire jaw; if it's disabled the software will export one file for every die and one file for the healthy parts of the jaw
- Export implantPosition files
- If this option is enabled the software will export a special "implantPosition" file with the information about the alignment of an implant marker that can be imported by Exocad.
Cad Integration
- Executable Path
- Select here the path to the Cad software to automatically launch it after exporting the data
- Cad project extension
- Input the extension of the Cad project so the software can invoke the cad with the right project file
- Auto Start Cad
- Check this box to start the Cad automatically after exporting the data
- Auto Close Software
- Check this box to automatically close the scan software after exporting the data
Export Path
This section allows to choose where the exported files will be saved. There are 3 different path selections
- Automatic
- The software will choose automatically the export folder. If a Cad project extension was selected, the file will be exported in the folder in which the cad project is stored, if available. If no cad project extension was selected, the file will be exported in the scan project folder
- Ask
- The software will ask to define the export folder for every project
- Fixed Folder
- The software will export to the same folder every time.
By checking "Auto Open Export Folder", the software will automatically open the export folder after exporting the data
File Name Generator
This section allows to choose how the software will name the exported files. There are 2 different generators
- Default
- This generator will use the "Exocad" name format "projec name-reference jaw-item name-teeth.extension"
- User Pattern
- This generator allows to use special tags to create file names. Each tag represents a different item.
An example of a user pattern is "%m/%p/%d/%j-%k-%t"
In a project with 2 stump on the lower jaw and an antagonist the exporter will:
- Create a folder with the name of the doctor
- Create a sub-folder with the name of the patient
- Create a sub-folder with the date
- Save the stumps as lowerjaw-stump-36.stl and lowerjaw-stump-35.stl
- Save the healthy parts as lowerjaw-healthy.stl
- Save the antagonist as upperjaw.stl
Available In
Each export profile can work in one or more different kinds of project.
The checkboxes allow to choose in which project this profile can be used.
Export Final Translation
In each system, a spacial reference for positioning of the objects is defined. Our system uses this reference:
- XY Plane as the Occlusion Plane.
- YZ plane as the Symmetric Plane.
Exocad uses this same reference system.
Many orthodontic software use the following reference:
- XZ Plane as the Occlusion Plane
- XY Plane as the Symmetric Plane
Here it is possible to select the reference system used by the CAD system in use, to shift the objects' positions in a correct view.
