01 / INTRODUCING ALIGN

Set the orientation.
Prepare the next step.

One focused tool for scan alignment
and virtual articulator mounting.

01

SUHFORM
Align

In development

Bring your scans into
a consistent frame of reference.

Orient dental 3D models, define reference points, and prepare their placement on a virtual articulator.

  • Scan orientation
  • Reference points
  • Virtual mounting

Align is being developed around STL, PLY, and OBJ dental models. The final feature set, file support, and system requirements will be confirmed at launch.

What Align is being built to do
  1. Automatic front alignment

    Orient upper and lower scans using the occlusal plane and midline.

  2. Flexible origin and axes

    Choose an origin and prepare models in Y-up or Z-up coordinates.

  3. Articulator placement

    Position models relative to an articulator reference layout.

  4. Hinge-axis opening

    Adjust model opening around a hinge-axis reference.

  5. Export for the next step

    Prepare transformed STL models and accompanying transform data.

Align is not yet available for public use. Release details will follow.

02 / PRODUCT FAMILY

A focused tool
for each step.

Align and Crown are in development.
Model and CT are planned. Release dates are not yet set.

In development

SUHFORM Crown

Dental crown design, supported by a tooth library. A dedicated app for the restorative design step.

Not yet available for public use.

Planned · Development not started

SUHFORM Model

Mesh repair and model preparation for dental practices, labs, and model printing. Clean up scans before Align or Crown, or prepare printing models as a standalone workflow.

Explore the planned Model features
Planned

SUHFORM CT

CBCT and DICOM processing, scan registration, and bone reference points. Planned as a separate app connected to Align through file exchange.

SUHFORM MODEL / PLANNED SCOPE

Prepare the mesh.
Shape the model.

A standalone tool for scan cleanup
and printing-model preparation.

Inspect & repair

Highlight holes, flipped or overlapping faces, disconnected fragments, and non-manifold edges. Fill defects while preserving designated margin regions.

Remesh

Create more uniform triangles with a target edge length, while preserving sharp features and protected regions.

Make solid

Combine overlapping meshes into one connected, closed solid and remove internal overlapping faces and shells.

Hollow

Create a hollow model with a defined wall thickness to reduce printing resin use. Drain-hole options are under consideration.

Boolean & extrude

Union, subtract, or intersect meshes. Extend boundaries to support model bases and thickness creation.

Register & compare

Start with corresponding points, refine the surface match, and inspect differences with a color-coded deviation map.

Planned file workflow
STL / PLY / OBJ input. STL output with original coordinates preserved, plus a JSON operation history.

Local processing by design
Planned to process scan files in your browser without uploading patient files to a server.

Model is planned and is not available yet. Protection controls, hollowing defaults, extrusion options, and registration export behavior remain to be finalized.

Long-term vision

SUHFORM Studio

A future workspace bringing SUHFORM tools together.
Individual tools first. A connected workspace over time.

03 / BUILT FROM PRACTICE

Developed by a clinician.
Shaped by real work.

SUHFORM is an independent software brand developed by Sangjin Suh. Each tool begins with a practical need encountered in digital dental workflows, then develops around a focused modeling task.

01

Practical purpose

Reference setting, repetitive tasks, and connected data. Practical problems guide what we build.

02

Local processing by design

Our aim is to process patient files on your device, in the browser. Each product’s data handling will be documented before release.

03

Focused tools, connected steps

Clear roles for each app, with file-based exchange where workflows meet.

04 / ACCESS

Preparing for the web.

SUHFORM Align will be the first product introduced.
Pricing and availability will be announced later.

General access

Web-based access

We plan to offer paid access to SUHFORM tools through this website. Plans, included features, and support terms will be published before launch.

Pricing and subscriptions are being prepared
Implant Master Class members

Member access

A complimentary access channel is planned for eligible Implant Master Class members. Verification, included products, and access periods will be announced separately.

Member access is being prepared

Sign-in, checkout, and app access are not available on this site yet.
