About The Project

Molars is a crossplatform webapp aimed to help dental professionals analyse various scanned patient cavity models and then mould them to their whims before obtaining 3-D printable .stls.

How it works?

The webapp works by rendering the given models on a HTML canvas using Three.js v75. Then it allows the user to select individual teeth and then deform it to there whim using FFD. Then once the modeling is done the user can export the new configuration as .stl files.

Functionalities

• Selection

  Clicking on a tooth selects it,then clicking on one of the control points (blue) selects it which then allows easy 
  deformation using the arrows. Unselection works in a stacked manner, just double click and the app will unselect the
  last selected item, successive double clicks can be used to unselect everything
  

  selection.mp4

• Opacity

  Control the Opacity of the jaw model
  

• Wireframe

  Wireframe material on the models to show the intricracies of the model geometry
  

• Deformation Point Multiplier

  Changes the DPM to 2X, 3X or 4X
  

• Export

   Export the modified models as .stls. Currently only exporting as base64 strings
  

Built With

• Vanilla HTML+CSS+JS
• ffd.js
• Three.js v75

  The code is very sphagetti at some places and missing some features. Feel free to take on any issue 
  and even create new ones for things you consider this project lacks. Check out the links above if 
  you want a brief overview of tech used here and don't hesitate to ping me in case you get stuck.

Warning: There are numerous differences between Threejs v75 and latest. So cross compatibality may be a problem at some places.
