AI Studio FAQ
Why did my scans fail to upload?
- AI Studio supports STL, OBJ, and PLY file formats.
- Each file must be at least 1 MB in size.
- Make sure your scans are in bite relation with both upper and lower arches
Why can’t I select multiple preps?
- AI Studio currently supports one prep per treatment.
- If multiple adjacent teeth are prepped, a separate treatment must be created for each restoration.
Margin detection looks wrong. What should I do?
Use control points to adjust the AI-generated line:
- Left-click to add points.
- Drag to reposition.
- Right-click to delete points.
If the AI struggles, you can draw manual line segments to define the margin more precisely.
My crown isn’t aligning with the occlusal plane.
- Use the 3D gimbal tool for large movements.
- Use the 2D gimbal tool to fine-tune alignment on each axis.
- Always confirm the crown completely covers the orange prep area before proceeding.
What do the heat map colors mean?
- Negative values (red) → surfaces are intersecting.
- Positive values (blue/green) → there are gaps or no contact.
-
Adjust contacts based on workflow:
- Polishing → leave 100–200 microns of intersection.
- Staining/Glazing → leave a slight gap for added material.
Minimum thickness check failed. What now?
AI Studio requires at least 1 mm thickness throughout the restoration.
Options:
- Accept the fixed design generated automatically.
- Return to sculpting and make adjustments manually.
- Proceed with the unfixed design (not recommended for clinical use).
Why do I see an error about undercuts for inlays/onlays?
AI Studio blocks insertion paths if the prep contains undercuts.
Solution:
- Adjust your margin line.
- If the undercut is part of the prep itself, additional preparation may be required.
My supports look wrong in Print Setup.
By default, AI Studio uses Autopilot mode for supports.
To adjust:
- Turn off Autopilot.
- Go to the Support section in Print Setup Tools.
- Add/remove supports manually before sending to the printer.

What is Scan Intersection?
Scan intersection happens when the upper and lower teeth scans overlap in an unnatural way—typically at the cusp tips—during bite registration. This indicates that the scan does not accurately reflect the patient’s true bite.
Why is Scan Intersection a Problem?
Inaccurate Occlusion: Teeth do not physically intersect in the mouth. If a patient scan shows intersections, the scan data is not an accurate representation of the real bite position.
Restoration Inaccuracy: Occlusal contact distances may be off, affecting fit and function of the restoration.
Design Issues: During the design process for nightguards, a virtual articulator simulates how the jaw opens and closes. If the scan includes intersection, the system miscalculates the hinge point.
Delivery Issues: Posterior intersection can cause early posterior contacts and an open gap in the anterior region when the nightguard is delivered.
Why Does It Happen?
Patient movement during bite scan capture
Capturing a partial bite (e.g., single-side window scan) instead of a full-arch bite or two opposing bite windows
How to Prevent Scan Intersection
For Restorations:
Always use a closed bite scan.
Instruct the patient to remain still during bite capture.
Review scan data before the patient leaves to ensure there’s no intersection.
For Nightguards:
Preferred method: Capture an open bite scan using a leaf gauge —this eliminates the risk of intersection.
If using a closed bite scan:
Minimize patient movement during capture.
Review the scan to confirm accuracy before dismissing the patient.
What are “In Occlusion” Scans?
Most Cloud Design treatments require three scans:
- Upper jaw
- Lower jaw
- Bite/occlusion
However, all of the information for these three data types is usually stored in the upper and lower scans, eliminating the need for separate bite scan files.
When the upper and lower scans are opened together, they can automatically align into bite relation, allowing our designers to create appliances with excellent accuracy.
These scans are in occlusion:
These scans are not in occlusion and are overlapping:
Do teeth need to be extracted before taking a CT for implant placement?
Yes! In order for our team to properly plan, all teeth must be extracted before you take the CT that you submit to Cloud Design.
If you do not have a CT scan taken after extraction to submit for design, we will not be able to fulfill your design request.
How to add a File to an Existing Treatment
- Log in to your SprintRay account and navigate to the desired treatment. Navigate to the Communications tab to reveal the file upload window.
- Click on Attach Files.
- Click Post to submit your file upload.
Your file is now upload and available for the designer to reference.
Troubleshooting
Incompatible printer error when sending designs to Print Setup
When sending a finished Cloud Design file to Print Setup, the printer type selected in the file must match the physical printer you plan to use. If these do not match, you may see an Incompatible Printer Error. This guide explains how to properly send your file to Print Setup and update the printer type if needed.
How to Send Cloud Design Files to Print Setup
- Once your Cloud Design file shows a Finished status, click Send to Print Setup.
-
Choose whether to:
- Add the file to an existing print job, or
- Click New Print Job to start a new one
- The printer settings will default to the last configuration you used in Print Setup.
- If the selected printer does not match the physical printer you're currently using, you will receive an Incompatible Printer Error.
How to Change Printer Type in Print Setup
- In Print Setup, click the Setup button near the top of the interface.
- Under Printer, select the correct printer model from the dropdown menu.
- Click Save to apply the new printer selection.
Once updated, you can proceed with preparing your print job as normal.
I received Error Code 202. What now?
Check your uploads
Go to the AI treatment in Cloud Design and check the upper and lower scans to make sure you didn’t upload the same scan file for both upper and lower jaws. If this is the case, simply upload the correct files and submit the treatment again.
Check your scans
This error happens most commonly with iTero users. Most scanners automatically export upper and lower scan files in occlusion, but iTero does not.
If you are using an iTero, re-export your scans from the scanner software, selecting the ‘file per arch (arches in occlusion)’ in the export settings window.
Upload the new scans and resubmit the treatment to continue.Accordion Body
