1. Introduction

This operation manual details the inspection standards, assessment methods, and decision-making processes for dental restorative STL models, aiming to ensure that all received oral scan STL files meet the requirements for high-quality dental restorations. As a bridge connecting global dentists with mainland China’s dental prosthetic manufacturers, Austin Eco Connect needs to strictly control the quality of each model file to ensure the accuracy and functionality of the final prosthesis.

This manual applies to all technical personnel responsible for STL model initial inspection, quality control, and repair, providing unified inspection standards and scoring systems to ensure the consistency and repeatability of the inspection process.

2. Basic File Information Inspection
