3D scan STL file support

[mukesh]

For Invisalign there is a 3D scanner product that produces 3D STL file images and needs to be integrated with Open Dental.
1. How can I get the scanner exe to launch from Open Dental ?
2. Is Open Dental capable of storing the 3D STL files and also give an image preview from within Open Dental , can the same 3D STL image be edited too within Open Dental ?
Thanks

Hello mukesh. To launch the scanner exe, you could create a custom bridge: https://opendental.com/manual/bridgecustom.html. Open Dental's Images Module is not capable of displaying or editing 3D STL images. For that kind of advanced integration, you would have to develop a plugin: https://opendental.com/manual/plugins.html.
