CAD Library

Exocad Manufacturer Replacement Libraries are the original implant manufacturer libraries adapted to work with Scan Ladder. Instead of matching the manufacturer’s standard scan body, Exocad matches the Scan Ladder common cylinder, while keeping the original manufacturer workflow, Ti-bases, analogues, screw options and restorative components.

This means you scan with Scan Ladder, but design using the familiar manufacturer system inside Exocad. Scan Ladder replaces the scan body matching geometry only; it does not replace the prosthetic components.

Because the Manufacturer Replacement Library already contains the manufacturer’s analogue and model workflow, you usually do not need a separate Scan Ladder Model Creator library. You continue using the manufacturer’s model creator/analogue options, just with Scan Ladder as the scan body.

Please watch the video above before installing, as the key point is that the Manufacturer Replacement Library must overwrite or replace the original manufacturer library. It should not sit side by side as a duplicate library, because duplicate original and replacement libraries can cause Exocad to load the wrong scan body geometry or create conflicts in the workflow.

So the lab can scan with Scan Ladder, but still design using the familiar manufacturer workflow inside Exocad. If you need any other libraries converted, please email the Exocad library file to support@scanladder.com for conversion.
