Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document is a user guide for the MK3 Implant Scanner, designed and manufactured in Oxford. It provides instructions for accurate scanning of dental implants, ensuring reliable and precise measurements.

Specifications
The scanner features a 14.2 x 9.1 x 11.4 cm size, weighs 650 g, and consumes 15W of power. It supports up to 25 scans per charge with a 2.5-hour battery life. Connectivity options include WiFi and USB, and it operates optimally between 18-28°C.

Setup and Calibration
Users must note the post set and calibration plate numbers for accurate scanning. Calibration is necessary before scanning and should be done with the scanner parallel to the calibration plate. The scanner should be moved slowly in a radial motion during calibration.

Scanning Procedure
Dot posts are screwed into the patient's abutments and tightened to a specific torque. The scanner is calibrated, and scanning is initiated. The process takes less than 2 minutes, and results are exported as STL files.

Precautions and Warnings
Users should avoid staring at LED lights and ensure the scanner does not get wet. The device should not be disassembled, and damaged scanners should not be used. Protective glasses are provided for patient safety.

Cleaning and Maintenance
The scanner and dot posts require regular cleaning with specific detergents and sterilization in an autoclave. The calibration plate should be cleaned with mild soap and water.

Software and Updates
Keeping the software and firmware updated is crucial for optimal performance. Updates can be checked and downloaded from the Tupel 3D website.

Technical Support
For any issues, users can send debug data to Tupel for diagnosis. Additional support and instructional videos are available on the company's website.

Please read and understand all of this instruction manual. It is IMPORTANT for making reliable and accurate scans • Do not stare at the LED lights; they may be harmful to the eyes. • Do not shine the LED light directly into your patient's eyes, protect your patient's eyes with the red glasses provided. • Do not use chemicals on the Dot Posts and Calibration Plate. • Do not allow the scanner to get damp or wet. • Do not drop the posts into the patient's mouth. (The post is made of anodized aluminum with titanium screw). • Note down the post set number. You won’t be able to scan with an incorrect...

You will be able to make supremely accurate measurements of your patients' abutments, and make comfortable passive fit restorations. • You'll screw in our dot posts. The posts are cylindrical so they can never face the wrong way. Each post has a unique dot pattern that the computer will recognize - so you can put any post anywhere. • You'll have to calibrate the scanner before the scan to get the best possible accuracy. Then scanning the posts should take less than 2 minutes. • Finally you will be able to export an STL file containing precisely positioned abutments that can be used in the next...

• Be sure to use the correct calibration plate number in the software. • Keep the scanner vertically parallel to the calibration plate to start calibration. • Make sure all 4 big dots are lined up in the middle of both cameras when calibrating the scanner and the small dots can go off screen. • Move the scanner slowly from side to side in a radial motion, not exceeding a 45° angle from the center of the plate. • The posts should be clean and dry while scanning. • The ambient light should be no brighter than 5000 lx,

• Hold the scanner about 10 ± 2.5 cm (4 ± 1 in.) away from the closest posts so that as many dot posts as possible are visible in the center of both camera views. • When the posts are in focus, multiple green dots should appear on them in both camera views. • Keep the scanner level and directly facing (head-on) toward the posts throughout the scan. • Hold down the trigger and move the scanner slowly and steadily from left to right, keeping the dot posts centered in both camera views. • After completing a scanning pass, release the trigger briefly to allow the computer to process the scan data....

• Make sure that the dots on the post are not obscured (by stitches for example). • Do not cross-thread the post, ensure it is screwed in straight. • Allow more than 1 minute between scans for the most accurate results. Temperature changes can cause slight accuracy loss. • Please check the Tupel 3D website (www.tupel3d.co.uk) for the latest information and instruction.
