Use of open‐source software and photogrammetry in the fabrication of 3D‐printed custom trays for edentulous patients: A technical guide
A technique is described to obtain a 3D-printed custom tray for complete dentures through open-source, free software and additive manufacturing. This approach enables the production of custom trays in a cost-effective and optimized manner. A three-dimensional (3D) digital cast is obtained by photogrammetry and later used to design a digital custom tray. Then, the digital custom tray is manufactured by a 3D printer to be used in clinical procedures. This technique is a clean, rapid, and low-cost alternative to the traditional technique.
