Bypass Mesh Restrictions. Unlock 3Shape’s Full Potential.

If your US laboratory receives scans from non-3Shape intraoral scanners (like Medit, iTero, or Carestream) but executes CAD designs natively in 3Shape, you already know the frustration. The software artificially restricts advanced modules like Model Builder or limits the “RealView” color texture simply because it detects an “imported third-party mesh.”

China Dental Design permanently solves this software compatibility bottleneck. Our premium STL to DCM Conversion Service seamlessly repackages your open STL/PLY files into the native 3Shape proprietary format, tricking the software and allowing your technicians to work as if the scan originated directly from a TRIOS scanner.

Why Do You Need This Digital Conversion?

Converting your generic STL files to native DCM offers massive operational advantages for high-volume digital labs:

Technical CAD Benefits

Unlock Model Builder: Instantly create hollow, sectioned, print-ready models directly in 3Shape. (3Shape strictly blocks this crucial feature for imported STLs without a highly expensive add-on license).
Preserve True Color (PLY to DCM): We digitally map the color texture perfectly so your ceramists can see the gingiva shade and draw margin lines effortlessly during the design phase.
Coordinate Lock & Bite: We ensure the Maxilla, Mandible, and Bite registrations are permanently locked into the correct coordinate system to prevent catastrophic clinical occlusion errors.

B2B Workflow Efficiency

Instant Project Creation: We completely bypass the tedious setup phase. We create the “.3nz” or “.dcm” order file for you, accurately pre-filling the patient info, tooth numbers, and indications.
Archive Ready: Store all your outsourced cases in a standardized digital format, keeping your server completely consistent with your native TRIOS cases.

Supported B2B Input Devices

Our digital technicians can execute the STL to DCM Conversion Service for scans from virtually any open intraoral scanner on the US market:

Medit: i500, i700, i900 (Supports full-color PLY and STL).
Align Technology: iTero Element (Exported STLs).
Carestream: CS 3600 / 3700 / 3800.
Shining 3D: Aoralscan 3.
