New Feature: Selecting the Scan Type
What Has Changed
We've introduced a new dropdown list feature, enabling you to specify the type of scan you've either uploaded or performed.
How It Affects You
This addition helps in clearly identifying the type of scan you've submitted. It is beneficial for both you and us, as it informs about the potential modifications that might be applicable to your scan.
How to Use It
After uploading your scan, you can select the scan type from the dropdown menu located just below the 'scan' option, as shown in the image above.
Vapor Smoothing Option for MJF Products
Vapor smoothing, a method often referred to as chemical vapor smoothing, is a post-processing technique where printed parts are exposed to vaporized solvents. This process transforms parts with a 'sugar cube' finish or visible layer lines into objects with smooth, glossy surfaces.
What Has Changed:Previously, vapor smoothing wasn't an available choice. However, now you have the flexibility to select the degree of post-processing finish you desire for your products.
How It Affects You: Incorporating vapor smoothing into the production process can extend the lead time of your orders. Despite this, it ensures that your final printed items possess a significantly finer and more polished finish.
How to Use It: When you choose MJF (Multi Jet Fusion) printing as your preferred technology through Spentys, you'll now have the opportunity to select not only the material and color but also whether you want vapor smoothing applied to your print.
Change from "Alveoli" to "Holes"
What Changed: We've replaced the term "alveoli" with "holes" in our descriptions to enhance clarity. Additionally, we've introduced the option to select designs without any holes.
How It Affects You:This change offers you more flexibility and control over your design preferences, allowing for a more customized experience.
How to Use It:For details on how to make your selection, please refer to the options shown in the images provided below.
New Product Announcement: Introduction of A5
What Has Changed:
We are excited to announce the addition of a new carpal tunnel splint, named A5, to our product line. The A5 is designed for the Left/Right upper limb. This splint can be modeled exclusively using the Spentys designer tool.
The A5 is available in a range of materials and technologies, including FDM-PP, MJF-TPU, MJF-PA11, MJF-PA12, DLP-ST45, and DLP-IND405.
How It Affects You:
The A5 provides a new solution for immobilizing the wrist segment, offering support in managing carpal tunnel compression.
How to Use It:
To utilize this new option, select segment BCD in the tool and choose the A5 model.
New Thumb reconstruction Level
What Has Changed
Our user interface (UI) for thumb reconstruction has undergone significant improvements, now boasting an advanced circumference editor. Moreover, the system is designed to automatically compare the circumference you enter at the start of the workflow against the scan dimensions, and it will alert you with a warning if the two do not match.
How It Affects You
Following an in-depth analysis of user feedback regarding the previous thumb correction steps, we have implemented these feature updates. Our aim with these refinements is to minimize the error margin in scans and ensure the orthosis fits perfectly.
How to Use It
As part of the enhanced process, this feature is the second step that follows the placement of landmarks. It is accessible when you are working on modeling devices that cover the thumb, including but not limited to the A2 device.
New Note Editor
What Has Changed
We've recognized the need for more comprehensive information regarding design requirements, which has led us to introduce the new note editor within the iOS app.
How It Affects You
With this update, you can bypass the back-and-forth of messages or emails. Feel free to detail all the necessary specifications for your order directly in the app; these details will be conveniently saved to your dashboard for each order.
How to Use It
This feature is accessible from the top right corner of the patient section, as illustrated in the image above.
New: Fill in pathology as part of patient details
What Has Changed
We have updated the 'notes' feature within our system. The previous notes section found below the patient details has been rebranded as 'Pathology' to better capture the specifics of the patient's condition and the intended use of the device for treatment management.
How It Affects You
This change allows you to meticulously record and review the cases where 3D-printed devices were deemed the most effective. It aids in maintaining a clear record of patient diagnoses and the corresponding device applications.
How to Use It
In the patient details step, where you previously found the note section, you will now see 'Pathology Note'. While completing this section is optional, we strongly encourage you to utilize it to ensure comprehensive patient records.
Pose Level Transparency
What has changed: We have introduced a new feature in the Pose Level during the scan step that enables users to change the opacity of scans, making them transparent. Additionally, this transparency feature can be used simultaneously with grid lines for better reference.
How it affects you: This enhancement empowers users to edit poses with an elevated level of accuracy by utilizing the grid as a reference point. Tasks such as adjusting abduction, adduction, extension, and flexion angles are now more intuitive and streamlined.
How to use it: Within the Pose Level, select ‘Appearance’ and then choose from three options: Normal, Transparent, or Neutral Ghost to adjust the opacity of the scans as per your preference. Use Transparent mode alongside grid lines for precision editing.
Sculpt Max Height Adjustment
What has changed: We have refined the maximum limit within the Sculpt Level to 10mm. This allows users to either add or remove material from a scan up to a maximum of 10mm.
How it affects you: With this adjustment, you now have the capability to make more precise modifications, which is particularly beneficial for creating pressure relief areas as well as pressure-bearing areas.
How to use it: Within the Sculpt Level, manipulate the maximum height by adjusting the slider, as depicted in the image above, to add or remove material up to 10mm as per your requirements.
Cleanup Level Manual Alignment and UI Simplification
What has changed: We have reintegrated the manual alignment step into the Cleanup Level, along with a simplified User Interface (UI). This decision came from the realization that relying solely on landmark placements might not suffice for aligning certain scans accurately. However, this reintroduced step is less cumbersome and functions as an effortless additional step.
How it affects you: The reintroduction of manual alignment, in combination with a streamlined UI, significantly enhances the alignment quality of your scans. This, in turn, facilitates the more precise modeling of devices.
How to use it: There is no need for any specific action on your part. The manual alignment step has been seamlessly integrated into the workflow and automatically follows the cleanup step.
