What are smart tools in Circle One?

Smart tools are the controls you use to refine the automatic proposal, from the overall shape down to a single point on the surface. They work in three levels, Global, Regional and Local, and Collaborative AI keeps each change smooth while respecting your manufacturing constraints.

From the whole tooth to a single point

Global

Global, the whole tooth

Set the base shape and the overall position. Smart Tools Global

Tools
  • Morphology: patient data or library
  • Anatomical detail: smooth to marked
  • Occlusal contacts: deformed to abraded
  • Manipulators: move, rotate, scale
Global, la dent entière
Regional

Regional, one area

Shape a specific area without touching the rest. Smart Tools Regional

Tools
  • Emergence profile: mesial, distal, buccal, lingual
  • Deform: move an area, a cusp for example
Régional, une zone
Local

Local, the surface

Finish point by point with sculpting brushes. Smart Tools Local

Tools
  • Smooth, Carve, Add
  • Pull: move an anatomical area
  • Brush size and intensity
Local, la surface
Elle propose. Vous décidez.
Collaborative AI

It proposes. You decide.

Every slider and brush stays under your control. With each refinement, elastic deformation keeps the surface smooth, and the minimum thickness zones stay displayed while you work.

  • Changes previewed in real time
  • Minimum thickness shown while brushing
  • Undo and redo at every step

Surface settings

Inner and outer surface, set once

Retention zone and width, cement gap, axial and incisal minimum thickness, compensation diameter for your tool. Save them in your profile and they apply to every case.

  • Inner surface: retention, cement gap, thickness
  • Outer surface: contacts with antagonist and proximal teeth

Smart tools FAQ

Do I need CAD experience to use the smart tools?

No. They work with sliders, manipulators and brushes, and every change is previewed in real time.

Yes. Refine it as you wish: start from the pre-op scan, the symmetric tooth or the proximal teeth, blend with a standard library, then adjust with the Regional and Local tools. Copy a tooth

The minimum thickness zones are displayed while you refine, based on your surface settings.
