3Shape’s new scanner, the D900L, features a larger interior for scanning fully articulated models and large impression trays. The optical system with 4 x 5.0 MP cameras ensures high scan speeds, powerful color capture, enhanced details and implant bar accuracy.

“During our 13-year history, 3Shape has had a strong and continuous focus on R&D. In fact, 40% of our staff members are involved in R&D. It’s our calling, our DNA,” said Flemming Thorup, President and CEO of 3Shape during his opening remarks at the company’s press conference in Chicago.

One of the latest developments is the D900L scanner featuring a larger interior for scanning fully articulated models and large impression trays. The company also launched the Dental System™ 2014 which is available to all 3Shape Dental System™ subscribers as part of their LABcare™ package. Among the new features:

  • Optimized CAD Design Workflow and a redesigned interface that offers greater user-friendliness. For instance, the redesigned workflow-progress bar guides you through each scanning step; it’s now easier to move back and forth between different workflow steps and to rescan individual dies if needed.
  • 3Shape Implant Studio™ brings together implant planning, prosthetics and drill guide design, enabling labs to provide complete treatment packages up front. In addition, the software can align CT and TRIOS scan data, providing a panoramic preview and enabling the user to place a virtual crown as guidance for optimal positioning of the implant.
  • A Splint Module optimized for fast and easy design of splints, nightguards and protectors.
  • Auto-crown functionality allows the design of full anatomical crowns.
  • Improved RealView Engine™ offers close to photo-realistic teeth texture; designs look even more realistic when superimposing an image of the patient’s face in the design process.
  • CAD Block integration allows you to virtually position multiple anatomy designs in one or more blocks before milling, maximizing material usage.
