What is Signature Design?

And Why Do you Need it?

Signature Design is a new render-only project type in Smilecloud that allows you to create before-and-after photo and video simulations and 3D review scenes from a single STL surface file.

*Available with the Business Plan

✅ Input - Any type of Model as STL file

Mockups
Setups
Scanned Waxups

✅ Output

A Before & After Simulation Video rendered on the patient’s face
A 3D Review Scene for dentists, lab technicians, or collaborators to inspect

✅ Key Benefits

Flexible Workflows: Use any models, created in any software or even scanned physical wax-ups.
Fast Results: Generate videos and 3D scenes in minutes — no need for complex setups.
Improved Communication: Share simulations easily with patients or collaborators.

🔧 What You Need

To create a Signature Design project, simply prepare:

A facial photo of the patient
A corresponding intraoral scan

And a single surface STL file from:

A digital wax-up
A physical wax-up (scanned)
Any aesthetic setup exported as STL

🎬 What You Get

A Before & After Simulation Video rendered on the patient’s face
A 3D Review Scene for dentists, lab technicians, or collaborators to inspect

Smilecloud automatically generates these and are viewable on the platform.

💡 Best for:

Labs showcasing design outcomes to their dentists
Clinics illustrating proposed smile concepts to clients
Technicians working across external CAD tools
Educational demos and case presentations
