Design your own All-on-X surgical guides — 43 lectures and walkthroughs with Nate Farley
Stop outsourcing your guide design: Advanced Surgical Guides – All on X teaches the full digital build across seven modules and 43 lectures, roughly five hours. Prosthodontist Nate Farley pairs each concept with a screen walkthrough, taking you from file alignment and bone segmentation to the finished pin guide, then through printing on several common resin printers.

Inside the course
Setup and software
The first modules get your workstation ready — installing Meshmixer, gathering program files, then aligning scans and segmenting bone inside the planning software.
Building the guide
Three design modules take a case from initial bone reduction through making and sectioning the guide, fixing mesh holes, creating the hybrid base, and adding supports, cylinders and pins.
Printing it out
A dedicated module reviews several desktop printers and walks through setup, printing and post-processing so your finished guide is ready for surgery.
