In this article, we will go over the aligner model options for Clear Aligners.
Please see the attached zipped folder at the bottom of this article. Inside the zip are the 4 STL model options that you can test print and then decide which is best for your workflow.
3Shape Design Services has 4 Model options:
1. Solid Models (default)
2. Solid Model with Support Bars
3. Hollow Models
4. Open Hollow Models with Support Bars
To set one of these options as a Design Preference, go to your "Location" tab and see the pictures below for reference:
