If you will be submitting an entirely new case (or cases) by mail to complete the criteria for your examination, you must assemble a traditional notebook presentation.  Physical models (stone, plaster, or 3D printed stereolithic) are required for each level of evaluation and must meet the requirements outlined (starting on pg. 10) in ABO Digital Model Requirements.  Digital Models (.PLY, .STL, .OBJ, etc.) are no longer accepted by the ABO.
