Spinfire Troubleshooting Guide SpinFire Troubleshooting Guide Infrequently, a file may fail to open or SpinFire may stop operating. The following text provides information about possible causes and solutions. Reporting an issue to Actify Support File Failures To report a failure to Actify Support: 1. Gather your information: Occasionally, a file may fail to open in SpinFire Ultimate. a. Have a clear, concise description of the issue. Troubleshooting methods depend on the the file type: b. Document the steps to recreate the issue or steps taken leading up to the issue. c. Include any debugging files such as: SpinFire Ultimate can open .3D SpinFire files that were created using i. SpinFire.log SpinFire versions 10.0.0 and later. Files created using an earlier version ii. dxdiag.txt of SpinFire might not open — they are not supported by Actify. d. Include screenshots or video with the issue report. Possible Work Arounds e. When appropriate/possible, include relevant sample files (native CAD files, .3D, .ACT3D). 2. Log on to the support.actify.com site. 1. Open the .3D file using a recent version of SpinFire 10.x, and 3. Click Create Support Ticket. then save the file. 2. Attempt to reopen the file using SpinFire Ultimate. or 1. Open the original CAD file in SpinFire Ultimate. There are two reasons why a ACT3D file might not open in SpinFire Ultimate. 4. Fill out the form, including the items listed in Step 1. 1. The file is invalid or corrupt, or 5. Click Send Email. 2. The version of SpinFire Ultimate used to create the file is more recent than the version being used to open the file. For example: An attempt to use SpinFire Ultimate 11.0.0 to ope n a file that was created by SpinFire Ultimate 11.1.0, will fail.

This scenario poses additional problems because the 2. Apply the update. Anniversary update cannot be uninstalled after 10 days of installation. Also .NET 4.6.2 cannot individually uninstalled from the service pack. It is strongly advised not to install the Windows 10 Anniversary update. System Failures or Performance Issues If you experience a system failure while opening a file or when interacting with a 3D model, make sure that the latest graphics driver has been installed for your graphics card. It is not uncommon for older drivers to fail when working with 3D renderings. If system failure still occurs, change the Graphics Driver selection in the SpinFire 3D and/or 2D Viewer settings: 1. In SpinFire Ultimate, navigate to Options > 3D and/or 2D Viewer. 2. Under Rendering, select a different graphics driver. (We would recommend first trying DirectX9, then OpenGL2) 3. Click Apply Settings. 4. Open the File in a new workspace to check performance, Diagnostics SpinFire Ultimate maintains a log file which can be useful to Actify Support when issues are reported. Should you continue to experience SpinFire Ultimate system failure, follow the steps below: 1. Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Actify\SpinFire11\Logs. 2. Locate SpinFire.log and include the file in the report to Actify Support. Note On most systems, the C:\ProgramData folder is hidden. To change its visibility, see your system administrator or go to Organize > Folder and Search Options > Hidden Files and folders and select Show hidden files, folders and drives from the Windows Explorer options. DxDiag.txt If running DirectX, create a dxdiag.txt file to aid Actify's debugging efforts. 1. Click the Windows Start button. 2. In the Run/Search field, type dxdiag, then press Enter. 3. When the process is complete (it may take a few minutes), click Save All Information, located in the lower-right of the diagnostic tool's window. 4. The Windows Save as dialog box will open and prompt you to save the file. Systems with Multiple Graphics Cards Multi-graphic card systems can cause SpinFire Ultimate to crash or behave erratically. This is common to systems with a on-board graphics card and a slotted high performance graphics card. To resolve, select the high end graphics card to specifically use with SpinFire Ultimate. 1. Open the Windows Start Menu 2. Enter Nvidia control panel into the Search field and run it 3. Select Manage 3D Settings from the option in the left-hand panel 4. Select or browse for SpinFire Ultimate to change the graphics processor 5. Select your NVidia graphics card under preferred graphics processor.

Kubben1,2, Remir S. N. Sinlae3 1Departments of Neurosurgery, 2Medical Information Technology, Maastricht University Medical Center, Maastricht, 3Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands E‑mail: *Pieter L. Kubben ‑ [email protected]; Remir S. N. Sinlae ‑ [email protected] *Corresponding author Received: 07 July 18 Accepted: 13 December 18 Published: 28 February 19 Abstract Background: Augmented reality (AR) has great potential for improving image‑guided neurosurgical procedures, but until recently, hardware was mostly custom‑made and difficult to distribute. Currently, commercially available low‑cost AR devices offer great potential for neurosurgery, but reports on technical feasibility are lacking. The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of using a low‑cost commercially available head‑mounted holographic AR device (the Microsoft Hololens) in the operating room. The Hololens is operated by performing specific hand gestures, which are recognized by the built‑in camera of the device. This would allow the neurosurgeon to control the device “touch free” even while wearing a sterile surgical outfit. Methods: The Hololens was tested in an operating room under two lighting conditions (general background theatre lighting only; and general background theatre lighting and operating lights) and wearing different surgical gloves (both bright and dark). All required hand gestures were performed, and voice recognition was evaluated against background noise consisting of two nurses talking at conversational speech level.

  • CAD-CAM Workflow for the Fabrication of Bioscaffolds and Porous Auricular Constructs with Polycaprolactone Using Ultimaker 2+
    Abteilung für Hand-, Plastische und Ästhetische Chirurgie Abteilung der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Vorstand: Prof. Dr. Riccardo Giunta CAD-CAM workflow for the fabrication of Bioscaffolds and Porous Auricular Constructs with Polycaprolactone using Ultimaker 2+ Dissertation zum Erwerb des Doktorgrades der Medizin an der Medizinischen Fakultät der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität zu München Vorgelegt von Chenhao Ma aus Handan, Hebei Provinz, China 2021 Mit Genehmigung der Medizinischen Fakultät der Universität München Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. Thilo Schenck Mitberichterstatter: Prof. Dr. Matthias Pietschmann Dekan: Prof. Dr. med. dent Reinhard Hickel Tag der Mündlichen Prüfung: 19.05.2021 Abstract In recent years, the application of three-dimensional fabrication to fabricate customized porous scaffolds for cell culture has received much attention from the field of tissue engineering and plastic surgery. In this study, we applied a more publicly accessible 3D printer, Ultimaker 2+ with biodegradable polymer-polycaprolactone (PCL) to fabricate both three-dimensional bioscaffolds and auricular constructs (both solid and porous) prepared to fill the gap as potential solutions for both cartilage defects and microtia respectively by managing of the CAD-CAM workflow. As an overview, the modified CAD-CAM workflow was regarded as the uniform preparation fabricating types of scaffolds to identify the general printability of PCL with Ultimaker 2+. For bioscaffolds, limit test was performed on original scaffold, the resolution for printing scaffolds by PCL was identified as 600 microns by applying method of uniform scaling and limit approaching. For customized auricular constructs, we extract the model from MRI/CT scan and use its mirror image for the general shape of model building in a relatively customized way to fabricate solid auricular constructs.
