"Working closely with industry leaders from around the world has helped 3Shape to simplify and create a more efficient, cost-effective and predictable workflow for dental lab professionals," says Flemming Thorup, President and CEO at 3Shape. "Their expert feedback has been essential in developing an even more powerful and intuitive 2016 version of our Dental System CAD solution."

Dental System 2016 introduces new features like ground-breaking impression scanning. The 2016 version of the impression scanning application eliminates a dental lab’s need for pouring gypsum models and other manual steps in the workflow.

All 3Shape dental lab scanners can now scan analog impressions and skip directly to CAD design: a workflow step-saver that can reduce crown turnaround time by nearly one day. The 3Shape D2000 and D1000 lab scanner models additionally feature multi-line scanning technology for a more detailed and optimal impression scanning.

"3Shape’s impression scanning is today's reality and the future. No waiting for models to set, no plaster inaccuracies and we reduce costs. Every lab should invest in this technology," says Carlo Backes, at Excent Tandtechniek BV in the Netherlands.

3Shape Dental System™ 2016 highlights:

• Updated impression scanning software-scan each side of a triple tray in less than 30 seconds and single trays in 75 seconds

• New functionality accelerates 3Shape D500, D1000 and D2000 lab scanners performance and speed

• Increased stability for large cases such as implant bridges

• Integration with TRIOS^® and third party IOS

• Robust crown design engine for fast and intuitive design
