Load the pre-surgical scan, the wax-up and the photogrammetry scans. ArchConvert aligns them, locates every implant, and cuts the screw channels and interface seats into your wax-up — a print-ready provisional within minutes.
Convert and preview for free · $25 per finished case · no subscription, no seat license · ▶ PRESS START
Load, align, convert — the whole conversion runs in minutes on a laptop, and every step keeps the case on screen in a full 3D viewer: layers, opacity, five saved views, and a match heatmap whenever two scans meet.
Drop your STLs into six slots: the pre-surgical jaw with and without the fiducial, the wax-up, the post-op tissue scan with IOS scan bodies, the photogrammetry scan bodies, and the antagonist.
Pick three landmarks or position the scan by hand, then let ICP snap it home. A live 0–2 mm match heatmap shows exactly where the scans agree before you commit.
Press Convert: ArchConvert detects and aligns the scan bodies, builds the preview with emergence collars, then runs the finishing cut — screw channels at your kit's rated angulation and true interface seats. The heavy lifting — the boolean cuts — runs on our servers, not your laptop.
Sign up, load the demo case, run a conversion end to end — no card needed until you download.
The conversion is the starting point, not the end. Two tools most conversion workflows leave to the bench happen right in the viewer — and every change re-cuts for free.
Each implant gets a 3D handle rising from its seat: a translucent cone showing the screw's allowed range, a channel-width cylinder along the current direction, and a knob you drag to aim it. Bring a facial exit around to the palatal, clear an anterior incisal edge, avoid a contact — the tilt clamps to the cone, so you can't design a channel the screw can't deliver.
Press Edit Mesh and sculpt the converted wax-up with seven brushes — pull, push, smooth, inflate, deflate, flatten and clay — with adjustable size and strength, a paintable freeze mask, and unlimited undo. Relieve a flange, thin the palate, add bulk over a thin spot, soften a transition.
When two implant axes diverge past the kit's limit, the sites light up red in 3D so you see which MUA needs a swap before anything is printed.
Swapped an abutment chairside? Drop the fresh photogrammetry scan, place two landmarks, and re-convert — the original scans are never touched.
Load the antagonist and the converted arch's occlusal surface is scored against it as a heatmap — the same 0–2 mm ramp as tissue pressure — in review and while you sculpt, so a high spot is fixed before it is printed.
Angle a channel, sculpt a flange, re-cut for free. Then decide.
Real library geometry for every part — the scan body that's actually in the mouth and the screw that's actually going in the prosthesis. Don't see your system? Email contact@archconvert.com with the scan body, photogrammetry system or screw kit you use and we'll look at adding it.

Select the source and the pipeline adapts — same session or separate tissue scan.
Max angulation per kit; manufacturer torque shown in-app where published.
ArchConvert was built at Hope Dental Implant Center in conjunction with Hope Dental Lab, by a practicing dentist — Jared Gibby, DMD — and it runs on our own day-of-surgery cases. It does the one job well, and it does it in a browser tab.
A WebGL viewer with layers, opacity, saved views and heatmaps. Open it on the design station, the surgical suite laptop, or wherever the case lands.
Convert, inspect the cut, check tissue pressure and bite — all free. A credit is only spent the moment you download the finished STL.
Uploads travel over single-use, time-limited encrypted links. The finishing cut runs on our servers and the result comes straight back to you.
New scan bodies and screw kits are added as real library geometry, not approximations — MicronMapper and the latest angled-screw systems included.
One credit unlocks one case, forever. No subscription to justify on a slow week.
What a credit covers: the server-side finishing cut and the STL download for one case. Re-cuts after an alignment tweak and re-downloads are free on a paid case. Credits are bought in-app by card and never expire.
ArchConvert’s All-on-X implant-restoration design features are under development and have not been cleared or approved by the U.S. FDA. ArchConvert is a design aid intended for use by licensed dental professionals only; it does not diagnose, treat, or replace clinical judgment.
All output — alignments, screw-channel placement, interface seats, and any printed or milled result — must be verified by the treating clinician, who remains solely responsible for the prosthesis delivered to the patient. This same notice is shown in the app before every STL download.
STL exports of the pre-surgical jaw (with and without the fiducial), the wax-up, the post-op tissue scan with IOS scan bodies, and the photogrammetry scan-body export. The antagonist is optional but recommended for the bite check.
Both. Pick your source on the Load step — same-session systems like Shining Elite and ioConnect, or a separate tissue scan with MicronMapper or any other capture.
Yes. Each kit carries its manufacturer's maximum angulation, and channels are cut within it. The Convert step shows the exit of every channel on the wax-up before you commit.
Email contact@archconvert.com and tell us what you use. Libraries are added as real geometry, and MicronMapper's Output Shapes can also export your scan bodies as any shape ArchConvert already fits.
Your scans don't upload at all — they're processed in your browser. Only the aligned wax-up geometry and the cut settings go to our server for the finishing cut, into a private encrypted bucket under a random id, and they're deleted after 30 days. Nothing about the patient is ever sent. Details in Privacy & your data.
No. Buy a credit pack when you need one; unused credits never expire.
A CBCT + wax-up module is in development. The conversion module on this page is available today.
Open ArchConvert, drop in the demo case, and run a conversion end-to-end before you ever buy a credit.
