At IDS 2013, 3Shape unveiled to the market its new TRIOS® Color digital impression taking solution.

3Shape invited dental-industry journalists to the exciting unveiling event that included a thorough presentation of the new product. The audience witnessed first-hand how TRIOS® Color can scan and capture the intraoral situation in realistic-looking color without compromising 3Shape TRIOS® recognized high standards for scanning speed and accuracy.

3Shape’s new RealColor™ Technology in the TRIOS® Color digital impression-taking solution facilitates the creation of scan images in the appearance of real teeth and gingiva. The natural looking colors provide an excellent scanning experience, and make it easy for dentists to distinguish between the different types of restorative materials (metals, enamel, composite, etc.), recognize bleeding areas, see color transitions on teeth, and easily identify margin lines with enhanced detail.

In combination with 3Shape’s established TRIOS® Ultrafast Optical Sectioning Technology, TRIOS® Color represents a high performance color scanning solution that is very fast, very accurate, and very easy-to-use.

3Shape’s new TRIOS® Pod is a new configuration solution and an alternative to the TRIOS® cart. It enables scanning with the TRIOS® handheld scanner and software using selected laptop PCs.
