> I was blown away by how quick and accurate those scanner sticks are Damn, you weren't kidding - [this video] Very impressive indeed. Looks effortless and natural, but I'm sure that the processing engine is not exactly trivial.

Our company sells HW and SW for the dental sector. Our desktop scanners for dental labs and our intra-oral scanners for dentists generate 3D meshes of the patients oral situation. The UI of the intra-oral scanner is done with javaFX tool kit/libs. A little impression: [this video] Those meshes are the input data for the CAD/CAM Software my team builds. It is a desktop app for the digital design of dental restorations. The GUI is in javaFX and 3D visualization is done with OpenGL 4.5. Once the restorative Design is done, that app can generate many different output formats. Labs will feed the design files their local milling machine or 3D printer. Dentists can send it to centralized milling facilities of their choice to produce the crown or bridge or what have you. Some impressions of the CAD can be seen here: [link]
