Good news about Digital Study models directly from the ABO website:
"Pretreatment/Interim digital models will be accepted in universal formats
For examinations conducted after January 2014 and for treatment initiated on or after June 1, 2013, digital pretreatment and allowable interim models will be acceptable only in universal file formats (PLY, STL, or OBJ) that are constructed according to ABO specifications."
Reserve Ortho Lab creates Digital Study Models that adhere to the ABO standards! We use the latest software available which allows our Digital Study Models to be within the ABO standard.
