Abstract

The paper aims to analyze the InfiniteFocus system for the capability to measure macrogeometry of tooth models manufactured using two material extrusion techniques, i.e. MEM and FFF, and analyze the accuracy of manufacturing the said models. To achieve the goals it was needed to carry out two studies. The first one focused on estimating the measurement error of the microscope in the course of digitalizing geometry with the use of a rotary table. The research involved samples of cylindrical and spherical geometries. In the result further measurements of tooth model in the second stage were decided to be performed using vertical resolution 10 µm and overlap 70 %. For these settings, the absolute values of the mean measurement error for the MEM and FFF samples were about 0.01 mm. From 95 % to 98 % of points measured for all the tooth models were contained in the assumed tolerance range of ±0.25 mm for dental models.
