Description
D3Splint is a fully featured splint and night guard CAD application for learning to design occlusal guards. It is developed on the open source software platform Blender. The software has evolved since starting in late 2017 to be nearly complete in 2020. It has excellent control of the occlusal surface, a semi adjustable articulator and precise control over blockouts and offsets for appliances that fit the model with no internal adjustments. It has multi-threaded background processing which allow for the experienced user to work incredibly fast. The workflows are arranged in such a way that the initial setup of the case is easy enough to delegate to team members. Because this software is in late beta stages, and because we have no control over how any appliances might be manufactured after they leave the software, we cannot claim this product is for clinical use. This software was written by a dentist with a passion for 3D and streamlining complex workflows.
