    After setting the scanbody, it can be scanned.

    The material and shape of the scanbody (reflective metal and length, etc.) make it hard for the scanner to obtain the data of the whole scanbody. By aligning the scanned scanbody with scanbody model, the factory can have better design precision.

    6) After scanning, the scanned data and the standard scanbody will be aligned automatically.

    Manual alignment can be adopted if the effect of auto alignment is not good enough.

    1) Click to delete all alignment on the scanbody (only scanbody data on the tooth can be retained).

    2) Click to enter the Scan Body Matching window.

    3) Choose one type of scanbody and start matching. After matching, the standard scanbody data will be displayed on the right of the scan interface.
