Post-processing might take a couple of minutes to complete.
Tip!
Post-processing will be done automatically during
if the post-process button was not
activated by the operator. However, it is
recommended to do post-processing at the Analyzing
step and inspect the result in order to avoid the risk of
overlooking changes introduced by post-processing.

Dentist should perform the following operations when scanning preparations:
Step 1:

Core, and Abutments.
