The complete iBar workflow from software installation to STL export. Step by step. No prior CAD experience required.
Introduction by Antonello Croce
Master the iBar Workflow
From Setup to Export Master the iBar Workflow: From Installation to Export Your first complete iBar design — start to finish. You'll install BlenderForDental, import STL files, create tubes and cones, design and extrude bars, manage undercuts, apply safety zones, and export clean files ready for fabrication. Every step recorded in DualView Player™ and indexed for DACY™, so you can come back and ask questions anytime.

about
Is this course right for you?
This course is for dental technicians and CAD designers who want to start designing iBar restorations in BlenderForDental — from zero. You'll work through three real modules:
Model Designer (file import and alignment);
the iBar module (tube creation, bar design, extrusion, safety zones);
the Block Out module (undercut detection and management).
By the end, you'll design both standard and angled screw channel cases and export clean files for milling.
And here's what makes this different: every step is indexed by StepLock™ Intelligence.
Months from now, when you're working on a real case and can't remember how to handle a specific undercut — ask DACY™. You'll land on the exact second where that step is shown and explained. This course doesn't expire. It answers you back.
