What ModelPro solves in the laboratory
The source materials are not presented as static images containing text. The key information has been rewritten and structured directly in HTML so that it is clear for users and readable by search engines.
Efficient workflow integration
Scan Abutment Replace helps align the connection with the IPD digital workflow, simplifies STL export and import, and supports continuity between scan bodies and digital analogs.
Fewer technical issues
Optimising the offset for IPD libraries helps reduce technical mismatches between CAD/CAM STL data and the printed model, particularly at digital-analog receptacles.
ModelPro in the IPD ecosystem
From scan to model without losing geometric logic
ModelPro connects with IPD digital components. The scan body captures the implant position, the library assigns the correct connection and the digital analog creates a stable reference point in the 3D-printed model.

Practical workflow
How to work in ModelPro with IPD libraries
The workflow uses Osstem TSIII NP 3.5 as an example, but the logic is general: import scans, select the correct marker, align the library, insert the digital analog, verify the offset and export the model STL.
Import and correctly label the scans
In CAD Project, use Import New Files and load the jaw STL as Upper Jaw or Lower Jaw. Import the separate STL containing the scan body as Upper Marker or Lower Marker.
- • check the relative position of the scans,
- • if orientation is incorrect, use Manage Scans and Scan Orientering,
- • import the antagonist as required.
At the import stage, it is important to distinguish the jaw, marker and any antagonist correctly.
Create the reconstruction and mark the implant positions
In Reconstruction Setup, select Add Reconstruction, choose ModelPro as the type and mark only the implant positions involved in the case on the odontogram.
- • continue with Next Step,
- • select Implant Marker for the implant position,
- • do not mark teeth or positions that are not part of the case.
A cleanly configured reconstruction saves time when selecting libraries and checking analogs.
Select the library for the scan body actually used
In Active Reconstruction, open Select Marker From Library and select the system, platform and exact scan-body reference. In the Osstem TSIII NP 3.5 example, distinguish IPD/OB-SN-00 for a crown and IPD/OB-SN-01 for bridgework.
- • do not confuse the scan body for a single crown with the one for bridgework,
- • do not select solely by visual similarity,
- • verify the system, platform and reference.

├── IPD/OB-SN-00
└── IPD/OB-SN-01The library must correspond to the scan body actually used.
Align the marker using clearly readable surfaces
During alignment, identify the top surface, lateral reference surfaces, rotational orientation and the overall outline of the scan body. If the library geometry does not overlap accurately, do not continue.
- • re-check the correct scan-body reference,
- • verify the implant platform,
- • if in doubt, send a screenshot for verification.
Accurate marker alignment determines how the software registers the prosthetic connection.
Select the digital analog and configure its receptacle
After registering the scan body, open 2-ModelPro Digital Analogs Library and select the digital analog for the same system and platform. Configure the analog receptacle according to the 3D printer, resin, printing accuracy and post-processing.
- • the analog should seat stably without lateral movement,
- • it must not rotate freely,
- • nor should it require excessive insertion force.
2-ModelPro Digital Analogs Library
└── implant system └── platform └── digital analogWith a new printer or resin, it is advisable to print a test model and verify the offset.
Complete the model and export the STL
Once the connection and digital analog have been assigned correctly, set the base height, solid or hollow model, wall thickness, removable gingival mask and sectional inspection. The result is an STL ready for 3D-printer software.
- • verify access to the digital analog,
- • inspect the model in section,
- • export the final STL for printing.
The 3-Modelpro package keeps the libraries, installer, sample models and user guide together in one place.

ModelPro works best as part of the complete IPD workflow
The software itself is only one part. Model accuracy depends on the correct scan, correct library, correct digital analog and a verified 3D-printing process.
Implant-system names and third-party trademarks are shown solely to identify compatibility. Clinical and laboratory use must always follow the manufacturer's current instructions and professional assessment of the individual case.
Common questions
Quick answers about ModelPro
Is ModelPro only software for creating a 3D model?
Its primary function is the creation of 3D models, but ModelPro also provides additional tools such as Stump Die 3D, digital-analog workflows, gingival-mask design and Scan Abutment Replace.
Why is the correct scan-body library important?
Because the library defines the geometry used to align the marker. If a reference other than the one actually used for scanning is selected, the prosthetic connection may be registered inaccurately and the digital-analog receptacle may also be incorrect.
What needs to be verified for the digital analog?
The digital analog must match the system and platform. After printing, it should seat stably, without free rotation or excessive insertion force.
What information should we send if there is an alignment problem?
Ideally, send a screenshot, the name of the selected library folder, the implant system and platform, and information about which scan body was physically used during scanning.
