Colour map of the deviation
Green within tolerance, yellow to red too much material, turquoise to blue missing material. The original can be overlaid semi-transparently.
DCAD-X QM: Does the printed model match the dataset? Check online, in minutes.
Upload the intraoral scan or the print file and the scan of the printed model. Both are aligned and compared automatically. That way you see whether the model matches the mouth before a splint or restoration is made on it.

Not just colour — numbers for every deviation.
Defect spots with numbers
Every spot outside tolerance numbered, with largest deviation, area in mm² and volume in mm³.
Deviation classes
How much area and volume lies in which range — separated into “missing” and “too much”.
Only the area that counts
Alignment and evaluation use only the marked surface. Base, underside or holder distort nothing.
Whole delivery at once
Several parts against the same reference part — sorted by largest deviation, as table and CSV.
Causes per manufacturing process
The findings break the deviation down into offset, scale per axis, warp and local spots and name the typical causes — for resin, FDM, powder and metal printing, injection moulding, milling, casting and thermoforming, with classification, tell-tale sign, remedy and source.
Archive and proof
Every inspection filed with date, batch, report and photos — the inspection report with header data and signature fields.
DCAD-X QM in one minute.
One intraoral scan, two printers: colour map and finding show which model fits and what to do. The model has to be right first, then the splint is made on it.
Dies that fit — in 3Shape and exocad.
With test specimens for your printer and your material we determine which gap between die and model you have to enter in the CAD software: dies seat fully, do not rock and can be pulled without tools. On request you receive the values as a ready-made file to import.

The program in the lab: check whole deliveries.
For labs that regularly inspect delivered parts or printed models: DCAD-X QM runs on your computer, the scans stay in house. Store the reference part once, then check every delivery in minutes — with an inspection report per delivery.
Store once, check every delivery in minutes.
- 1
Store the reference part
Scan the original once and file it in the library with name, article number, supplier and tolerance.
- 2
Define the evaluation area
Mark only the surface that matters — for example the functional side of a part without its base.
- 3
Scan the delivery
Scan the delivered parts and drag them in as STL — one or the whole batch at once.
- 4
Result and inspection report
Pass/fail per part, colour map, defect spots and tables — as an inspection report to print or as PDF.
Only the surface that matters.
Often only part of the surface counts — the functional side of a part, not base, underside or holder. You mark the area once in the 3D editor; it is saved with the reference part and used for alignment and evaluation on every delivery.
One inspection report per delivery.
Header data with reference part, article number, supplier and batch, the overall result “n of m pass”, the overview per part and for each part colour map, photos, deviation classes and defect spots. With fields for inspection and release — to print or as PDF.
Requirements for the program: lab scanner, computer, done.
- ✓Lab scanner with STL export (proven with the 3Shape D1000)
- ✓macOS or Windows 10/11, Python is set up during installation
- ✓Glossy or white plastic parts: matte them thinly with scan spray
- ✓The scans stay on your computer — no cloud

Request a demoFrequent questions
Which scanner do I need?+
A lab scanner that outputs STL — the 3Shape D1000 is proven. Handheld scanners are only sufficient for coarse deviations from about 0.1 mm.
How accurate is the comparison?+
As accurate as the scan. Scan the original twice and compare both scans: the scatter shows the measurement accuracy of your workflow. The tolerance should be at least three times as large.
What if only one side of the part counts?+
You mark the evaluation area in the 3D editor — by rectangle from a view, by click up to the edge or with the brush. Everything else is left out of alignment and evaluation.
Where is my data?+
With the program on your computer: scans, results and inspection reports never leave the lab. For the online analysis our server in Germany does the computing; the uploaded scans are deleted after the computation, the result stays in your account until you delete it.
See it on your own parts?
Upload dataset and scan in the online analysis — or send us the scan of an original and a few delivered parts and we show you the result and the inspection report of the program.
