Blender 2.93 LTS update available!

We're pleased to announce that all Blenderfordental modules are now in tune with the latest version of Blender 2.93 LTS (Long Term Support). Our pledge to keep the Blenderfordental modules up to date with the latest Blender version means that you get to work with the very best Blender has to offer.


This updated version of Blender may not work on Windows 7 or older Mac computers - check your system requirements with Blender before you start. https://www.blender.org/download/requirements/ We still support Blender 2.83 LTS - your current version.



The LTS program ensures a long lasting and stable Blender version which provides critical fixes for the next 2 years.


All Blenderfordental modules on Blender 2.93 LTS have been revisited to improve overall performance with some modules receiving new features. For example:

  • The Model Designer has a new one push button operation to speed up the installation process. This will install all required add-ons in one go.

  • A new masking tool has been included for speedy mesh editing and for tooth removal, and model bases can now be deleted after construction. Just in case you change your mind.

  • An impressive 'One Click Hollow' button will hollow all your dental models in one go.

  • You can now import your own hollowing affects so you get to customise your dental models. Model bases can be perforated for printing (to reduce suction) with a single click.

  • Designing automatic stepped dies gives you a new option to cone shaped dies, although these can be edited as you wish. Ditching of dies and deleting of teeth has also been improved.

  • The Tray Designer has seen several changes too. The tray material is instantly cut to the border and the 'Painted Holes' can now be easily adjusted in size and location.

  • The WaxUp module has seen some improvements with the making of thimbles. An offset for cement has been included when making thimbles which is ideal for crown & bridgework.


To update to the new Blender 2.93 LTS, head to the Blender website & download (don't download via Steam or Microsoft store). There is also a direct download link on the Blenderfordental website. https://www.blenderfordental.com/account/installingmodules


Once you've got the latest version of Blender, the new Blenderfordental module installers are ready for use. Please remember that the new Blender version is essentially a new piece of software, so therefore requires a brand new installation for all your modules. To save space on your computer, we recommend you delete the older version.


The installation follows the same procedure as always and is demonstrated in the tutorial videos. For existing users wanting to update, please send us a chat message through the website so we can clear your activation keys.


If you rather prefer a remote installation, please make an online booking by following the link. https://www.blenderfordental.com/book-online A small remote fee applies when updating to a newer Blender version.


We hope you enjoy the new Blender 2.93 LTS. It's absolutely Awesome!
