Axisthree 3D Face Scan Simulation Guide

I. Open Axis Three Software Icon

II. Select Patients to Open Patient database

If new Patient Select Add New Patient
If Existing Patient highlight patient thumbnail and choose New Face Scan

III. To capture a new scan of patient, position subject’s head at height on same plane as middle pole LED light, and at a depth of about 18 inches or close enough to the machine to have the patients’ ear’s in the view finder on screen.

It is recommended that the patient wear a headband to keep hair from falling in the picture, as hair will not be picked up in the picture and anything it is coving will be omitted from the scan.
NOTE- Make sure room is dark. Lights off and door closed

IV. Once the scan is taken, and the point cloud model has been successfully taken, the patients’ final scan will appear on screen. At this point plotting the necessary points will need to be done for simulations, for each facial aspect.

Currently Axis Three has Nose, Chin and Cheek capability with more to be added soon

Nose Points Plotted
Note: The plotted points may be edited for better results

V. Once the points are plotted, for each type of surgery, the simulation tools will become
available to the user.

VI. Nose Simulation Tools

Nose Tools

Width – Adjust the width of the nose.
Projection – simulates projection of nose in or out

Bridge Tools

Width – Using this tool, the Width may be edited on three separate levels. Upper, Middle and Lower
Projection – The projection may be edited on the same three levels. Upper, Middle and Lower
Position – This tool edits the side to side position of the nose (looking at the nose straight on), using the Upper, Middle and Lower tools.

Tip Simulation Tools

Width – This tool edits the Nose Tip width
Projection – Edits only the projection of the Nose Tip
Position – Two tools on associated with this allows the Nose Tip to be edited in Horizontal and Vertical positions
Size (not seen in example screen shot) – tool allows Nose Tip to be expanded or condensed

Nostrils

Width – (Not Pictured) adjusts the width of the left and right nostrils
Right and Left Position – Allows user to adjust, separately, the corresponding nostril
Columella – Adjust the Columella in or out accordingly

VII. Example of plotting points for the Chin Procedure and Tools

Chin Tools

Projection, Height, Width and Position– Follow Insert as guide

Jaw Line

Entire Jaw – Allows Adjustment to Entire Jaw using the Jawline, Height and Position tools
Left/Right Jaw – Allows adjustment, Jawline, Height and Position, of corresponding jaw selection

Submental Tools

Submental – Edit the Fill of complete submental portion of the chin
Right/Left Jowl – Adjust Fill in corresponding selection only

VIII. Cheek Plotted Points

Cheek Tools

Right Cheek

Projection – Adjust Projection of the Right Cheek
Height – Adjust, vertically, the position of cheek

Left Cheek

Projection – Adjust Projection of the Right Cheek
Height – Adjust, vertically, the position of cheek

IX. Skin – Deep Wrinkle Remover

To access Skin Tool Plot Points for at least 1 other procedure to access the Simulation Tab. The Skin tab will display once you enter the Simulation Tab
Step 1 is to choose the Skin Source to copy to Wrinkled Area
1. Hold “ALT” key and with mouse choose area and select. “X” will appear, this is area that will be copied
2. Once area is selected, hold “CTRL” key and with mouse pain over wrinkle area on patient.
Select Various size Brush sizes

Strength – For Deeper wrinkles enhance the Strength (recommended to leave as is)
Display Affected Areas – Choosing this option will show you the areas that have been affected to that point.
Reset All – This will erase all skin area’s affected and display original scan of patient.
