In Die Creation, you can create individual dies that are detachable from the base model. Customize your dies easily using the numerous options provided, such as die gap, pin height, extra gap from margin, etc.
There are also additional ways to create dies, such as “Cutout Dies” and “Extra Dies.”
If needed, adjust the area by moving the “Expand Selection” slider at the bottom of the screen.
🔎Note
Note that working in this step is optional.

If you turn on the “Bevel” and “Create Drain Holes” options in the Base Creation step, they will be automatically applied to dies in this step. Your created dies will be beveled and have drain holes near the bottom of the slots.

Die Creation: Margin Line
Use the Margin Line Imported from Medit Scan for Clinics
Once you are in “Die Creation,” dies will be created automatically if you already have a margin line for the prepared teeth in Medit Scan for Clinics. The margin line will be displayed on the scan data straightaway.
Examine the margin line.
Add or delete points using your mouse. Left-click to add points, right-click to delete points.
When completed, click "Next." You will see the restoration ready.
Create a Margin Line in Medit Model Builder
If you have not created a margin line for the prepared tooth in Medit Scan for Clinics, you can draw it manually in Medit Model Builder.
In the Die Creation step, click “Margin Line” at the bottom of the screen.
You can then choose between “Auto Creation” or “Manual Creation.”
You can edit or delete the margin line.
View Curvature
Select the area to specify the margin line. Then check the curvature by turning on the function at the bottom of the screen. The surface curvature of the scan data is displayed in various colors.
If the color is redder, it is more embossed and if the color is bluer, it is more engraved. You can use the color expression interval slider to adjust the color radius.
View Cross Section
When creating or editing the margin line, this feature shows you the cross-sectional display based on your mouse location; this feature can be turned on and off. It prevents any areas from being hidden when zoomed in closely and allows you to check the magnified margin more carefully.
