From CBCT to a 3D-printed surgical guide: the digital implant workflow
Voxel3Di Clinical Team · · Updated
A plain-English walk-through of the digital implant workflow — what files you need, what happens at each step, and what you get back.
“Digital implant workflow” covers everything between the scan and the surgical guide. It’s simpler than it sounds — here’s the whole path, and what’s required of you at each step.
What files you need
Two things: a CBCT (DICOM) for the bone and a surface scan (STL/PLY) of the teeth or denture from any intraoral or desktop scanner. No special export settings — your normal output is fine.
Planning is prosthesis-driven
We superimpose the surface scan on the CBCT and plan implants around the final restoration, not just available bone — with nerve tracing and depth checks. You review the plan in 3D and approve (or request changes) before anything is manufactured.
What you get back
A print-ready STL surgical guide for your own printer, or a guide printed in medical-grade, biocompatible resin and shipped to your clinic — ready to use. Transparent per-case pricing, no subscriptions.
