Load Models

This is where the selected dental scan gets its 3D shape. You bring in the upper and lower arches — from a file on your computer or straight from your scanner's website — and you have two tools to clean and export them. Titan cleans and orients each arch automatically as it loads.

The Load Models panel: local import, scanner websites, and the Fix Model and Download tools

Open it

In the 3D View, the Dental Scan → Load Models step, right after you've selected (or created) the scan.

Import From Local File

Load each arch from a file on your computer:

  • Maxilla — opens a file picker for the upper arch.
  • Mandible — opens a file picker for the lower arch.

Titan reads .stl, .ply and .obj files. Each button shows a check once its arch is loaded. As it imports, Titan cleans the mesh (keeps the main piece, closes holes, removes a printed base) and orients it to the bite for you.

These buttons are turned off for an export treatment, and a printed or lab-owned case can't change its mesh.

Import from Scanner Website

If your scan lives in your scanner's cloud, import it without a file. Each button opens that scanner's import window, where you sign in and pick the case:

  • iTero
  • Runyes
  • 3Shape
  • Allied Star
  • Shining 3D
  • Medit
  • Panda

Tools

  • Fix Model — opens the scan-repair step so you can clean up the mesh (close holes, smooth rough spots) before moving on.
  • Download — saves the loaded arches as STL files to your printing folder. It turns on once at least one arch is loaded.
