DentaBuild picks up every scan your team exports, builds the model base, and opens it in your slicer ready to print — hands-off, end to end. Want to build one yourself? The cloud studio is a drag-and-drop away.
How it works
Once the watcher is on your print station, basing models stops being anyone's job. That's the whole point — and the part nobody else does.
Exactly like they always do — same scanner software, same button, nothing new to learn.
Real machine-learning models trim the scan junk and keep the anatomy: oriented, cleaned, based, bevelled, name engraved — in seconds.
The finished model appears in your slicer, ready to print. Nobody touched anything.
Prefer to drive? The cloud studio builds the same base from a drag-and-drop in the browser — one click, or fully by hand with a slider and brush.
The watcher — desktop app
Install the DentaBuild watcher on the print station and the whole job disappears. Anyone on the team exports a scan like they always do — the base builds itself and the finished model opens in the slicer, ready to print. No training, no new steps, nothing to remember. Machine was off when scans were exported? It catches up the moment it starts.
Slicer hand-off currently supports Asiga Composer. Use a different slicer? Request it and we'll build it. Scans are processed on your own PC and never leave the practice.
Features
Built by a dentist who was tired of basing scans by hand — with real machine-learning cleanup, not brittle one-size-fits-all rules.
Whatever you scan with, it works — we read the 3D geometry itself, not a brand's file format. STL, OBJ or PLY.
Machine-learning cleanup removes flaps, spikes and scan junk and keeps every tooth — automatically, with nobody babysitting it.
Every model is sealed, solid and checked before it reaches you — so the slicer never complains and prints don't fail on bad files.
Patient name engraved automatically from the scan file, solid or resin-saving hollow bases, and an edge bevel so prints pop off the plate.
Away from the print station? Drag a scan into the browser and build one-click there too — or paint the keep-area by hand.
Cloud scans are processed and deleted — never stored. Or run the desktop watcher and nothing leaves your practice at all.

FAQ
Any scanner that exports STL, OBJ or PLY — Medit, iTero, Shining, 3Shape and others. DentaBuild reads the mesh geometry itself, so it doesn't depend on brand-specific file naming or formats.
Cloud uploads are processed and then deleted — we don't keep them. If you prefer that scans never leave your practice at all, the desktop watcher processes everything locally on your own PC.
It catches up the moment it starts. The watcher keeps a local record of every scan it has ever based — by the scan's content, not its filename — so on startup it quietly checks the export folder, bases anything it's never seen, and skips what's already done without using an export. Re-exports and renamed copies are recognised too, so the same scan never counts twice.
Hit Adjust by hand — the AI pre-paints what to keep, and a slider and brush let you touch it up, then it rebuilds in seconds. Failed builds never count toward your daily exports.
Automatic slicer hand-off currently supports Asiga Composer — the finished model opens ready to print. Any slicer can open the output STL manually, and you can request yours — slicer requests go straight on the roadmap.
