If this is the first time view the 3D images on your computer, you will need to download the free 3D Viewer Software. It’s easiest to download the file onto the desktop. For this tutorial, we will use the desktop as our method.

A.) The patient’s file is downloaded onto your computer as a “zip” file. Right click on the patient’s file and select “open”.

B.) Right click on the “Setup3DViewer” and select “open”, select the button “Extract all” and the button “Extract”.

*Skip ahead to step 4 if you have already installed the software onto the computer that you are using.

Right click the “Setup3DViewer” and select “open”. Select a language and click the button “OK”.

*Skip ahead to step 4 if you have already installed the software onto the computer that you are using.

If you already have a software on your computer to unzip the file then use that software. Or you can use the method in this step. It doesn’t matter which method you choose.

A.) You will need to create a new file on your desktop. Right click on the desktop and select new folder. Name with your patient’s name.

B.) Right click the patient’s zip file on your computer’s desktop. Right click the “Vol_1” and select “open”.

C.) We now need to transfer all of the files from the zip file to the newly created file on the desktop. Go to the zip file and open. Select the first file and scroll down to the last file. Push the “shift” key and click with the mouse. This will highlight all files in the folder.

D. ) Drag the files to the new patient file.

Now it’s time to view the 3D images.

A.) Right click the “CS 3D Imaging” icon that is on your desktop and select “open”. The viewing software will open.

B.) A box will pop open to select the patient’s file to start with. Sometimes the last patient that you viewed will open. If you do not want that patient, simply select the other file on your desktop. When you’re in the right patient’s file, select the first slice of the scan (DCM file) to get started.

If you want to go through all of the 3D slices in the file, you will need to change the mouse settings in the software to “slide” instead of zoom. You do not have to manually open each slice, you only have to change the mouse settings in the software to “slide”.

The CS 3D Imaging Software Basic Video Tutorial (which is below) will walk you through how to quickly navigate in the software.

 

This is a quick video (under 10 minutes) that shows how to quickly navigate in the software. There are detailed lessons available on YouTube.

Unleash the power of 3D with CS 3D Imaging Software. Featuring advanced functions and applications, the user-friendly program is designed to improve diagnostic and treatment planning capabilities, and enhance patient communication.

This helpful demo discusses basic implant site evaluation and implant placement in the CS 3D imaging software. This will include preparation of the volume measurements, and implant manipulation.

This demonstrative gives an example of how a dentist uses the CS 3D imaging to virtually place and implant.
