This article describes a digital technique for acquiring a 3-dimensional (3D) diagnostic cast with authentic tooth shade and translucency using an open source nondental computer-aided design (CAD) software program detailing the operational methods and parameters. The resultant 3D diagnostic cast can be transmitted to a dental laboratory for the fabrication of definitive prostheses.
