Collecting Anonymous Statistics

Medit is striving to constantly improve the product and user experience by collecting certain information such as:

  • Hardware and software configurations, such as OS, graphics card, etc.
  • Patterns and trends in how our software is used, such as frequency and performance.
  • Diagnostic information.

The usage statistics will help the development team better understand user requirements and make improvements in future releases. We will never collect personal information, such as your name, company name, MAC address, or any other information related to personal identification. We cannot and will not reverse-engineer any collected data to find specific details concerning your projects.

Practice ModeProvide scanning training for users using a practice model.
When this option is enabled, the "Practice Mode" banner is displayed on the full screen when there is no acquired scan data.
* Unavailable with i500

Interface

Use Simple UIWhen on, the program switches from the default interface to the simple interface.
The simple interface provides minimum features to acquire and process scan data.
Show Info Box AutomaticallyWhen on, the program automatically shows the information box in the top left corner of the window while working with the program.
Show Scanning InformationScan TimeDisplay the scan time for each stage or the total scan time.
Number of FramesDisplay the number of images taken by the scanner for each stage or the total number.
Scan SpeedDisplay the current scan speed.
Expand Model Control IconsWhen on, the 3D model control icons of panning, rotating, zooming, and zoom fit are added to the side toolbar.

Data Display

Adjust Color TextureAdjust the brightness of the 3D model.
The color of the 3D model will be optimized for the image acquisition software.
When viewing data using other software, the resulting colors may be slightly different from the image acquisition software.
Advanced RenderingDisplay vivid 3D data with advanced technology applied.
Reliability Map Color SchemeSet the color of reliable data between Green, Blue, and Green/Yellow.
Use Auto ZoomWhen on, the zoom magnification is automatically set according to the size of the current scan data.
Zoom MagnificationSet the zoom magnification manually when the "Use Auto Zoom" is disabled.


Scanning Assistance

Smart Scan GuideIdentify any unusual actions during the scanning and provide relevant guidance.
Smart ArrowShow blue arrows to demonstrate low-reliability areas based on the gathered scan data.
Warning for External Light (Beta)Display a warning when an external light source affects the scan.
* Unavailable with i900
Warning for Occlusal DataWhen the user clicks "Complete" after scanning the data, the program checks the data and its alignment status acquired during the occlusion scan stage.
Enable Audio FeedbackIndicate the status of the scanner through different sounds.
Sound LibrarySelect the sound file for audio feedback indicating the device status.
Audio files in various formats, including .wav, .mp3, and .wma, can be added to the sound list.

For the scanning sound, additional options such as "Shuffle" and "Volume For Lost Tracking" are provided.

Live View Image StabilizationWhen on, automatic image stabilization is applied in the Live View during scanning to provide users with stabilized images with improved clarity and stability.
* i900 only
Live View Window PresetDefine the default settings for the Live View window options, such as window size, detach/reset window, and show/hide masking.
Once you change the settings in the preset window, the changes are applied to the Live View window that appears while you are acquiring the scan data.


Scanning Performance

Use GPUUtilize this option to Improve overall computing performance using the GPU (graphics processing unit).
Prevent Scan Data MisalignmentAlign scan data using additional information when acquiring scan data with the Smart Scan Filtering option on.
Extend Dynamic RangeUse peripheral data to assist in scanning difficult-to-scan areas.
Smart Stitching IntervalAdjusts the interval to acquire new scan data for Smart Stitching.
When the Smart Stitching feature is on, you can acquire and save non-continuous areas as separate data, and the continuous areas will later be aligned as you acquire more data in between.
A shorter smart stitching interval will start scanning for discontinuous data sooner.

At the same time, a longer smart stitching interval will wait a bit longer for the user to acquire contiguous data before accepting discontinuous data.

Use Glitch Filtering in Live View (Beta)Filter glitching image acquired while scanning.
The results can be affected by the strength of the scanner connection signal.
* i700W only
Global Soft Tissue FilteringDelete soft tissue and noise data.
Global soft tissue filtering is conducted during scanning, when you move to another scan stage, and when you complete.
Active Noise Filtering (Beta)Effectively remove noisy data acquired during scanning.
Prevent Occlusion Misalignment (Beta)Check the direction of occlusion and mandibular data to prevent misalignment while acquiring occlusion data.
Metal ScanTurn this option on to automatically apply parameters optimized for metal scans when metal prostheses, such as crowns, occupy more than a certain amount of scan area.


Post-Processing

Set File Size AutomaticallyTurn this option on to apply optimal file size for the scan data automatically.
File SizeAdjust the size of the result file.
Setting the slider bar to the left makes the calculation faster and produces a smaller output.
Users can determine the file size based on the intended use of the result file. Smaller result files are suitable for orthodontic cases.
Optimize Occlusion AlignmentWhen on, the program optimizes the occlusion alignment data.
Set the slider bar to the left to loosen the bite alignment of the maxilla and mandible, while setting the slider bar to the right tightens the bite alignment of the maxilla and mandible.
Use Neighboring Colors for Filled HolesTurn this option on if you want to fill in the empty spaces in scan data with the color of the adjacent data.
Clean Out Data Layering (Beta)Identify and remove double-layering or multiple-layering areas automatically while optimizing scan data.
Use Background ProcessingProcess data in the background for stages where no data is acquired or manipulated.
Optimize After Occlusion AlignmentAutomatically optimize the maxillary and mandibular data when occlusion alignment is complete.
The optimized occlusal relationships allow you to preview the occlusal state of the final result data.
Optimize Scan Data AutomaticallyOptimize automatically during the process of obtaining scan data.

High-Resolution Data Processing

Apply toBoth SD and HD Scan DataApply high-resolution data processing to all the SD and HD scan data if HD data exists.
HD Scan Data OnlyApply high-resolution data processing to HD data only.
Apply to Prepared Teeth Data (Beta)Turn this option on to let the program automatically detect the prepared teeth data and apply high-resolution data processing to the prepared teeth data.
When this option is on, the tooth area for tooth numbers registered from Medit Link can be selected in the Smart Scan Review feature.
Also, if margin lines are specified, the teeth with margins are processed as high-resolution data.
