Full Digital Lab
3SHAPE DENTAL SYSTEM
Our Vision - the Full Digital Dental Lab Why CAD/CAM will radically change the dental lab The age of the full digital lab is closer than most realize. For many years Zirconia copings and frameworks were the main drivers for CAD/CAM systems. But with the increased capabilities and improved manufacturing support of some CAD/CAM systems, a much wider number of profitable indications have been introduced. Spurred by such rapid developments, the extent of 3Shape Dental System’s capabilities in the next 3 to 5 years can only be imagined. Digitalization

D700 / D710 Scanner
3SHAPE DENTAL SYSTEM
D700 Scanner / D710 Scanner The foundation for digital quality and productivity The 3Shape D700 and D710 Dental Scanners are optimized for 3D scanning of both impression and gypsum models, and they surpass all performance norms for scan speed, precision and detail level. No other dental scanner on the market offers such an extensive range of predefined scan indications, and with Multi-Die Scanning on the D710 your lab’s efficiency will reach new levels.
The D700 and D710 scanners give you increased productivity plus enhanced customer satisfaction through faster delivery and superior clinical results. When teamed-up with 3Shape’s DentalDesigner™, these scanners bring unprecedented scan-to-completed-design time to your business. 3Shape’s advanced dental scanners are so easy to use that extra staff training is hardly required. Object fixation is quick, and a single click in the operator-friendly software starts the scan. 3Shape’s unique, 2-camera and 3-axis motion system results in unrivaled accuracy and effective scanning of impressions and deep inlays. All colors are captured as scanner parameters are automatically adjusted to the object’s material. Multi-Die Scanning on the D710 will provide your lab with ultra-efficient batch and multi-case processing capabilities. Dies for one or more cases are fixed to the Multi-Die plate, and scanning of the dies is automatic, freeing the technician to work with other tasks.

Flexible attachment design Freely add slide attachments, ball attachments, locators and retention holes anywhere on the bar and interactively rotate and translate them to fine-adjust their position and angles. Import your own CAD library of attachments into the system.
Create optimal designs for copy milling Scan an original wax-up bar-design for remodeling in a new material to create a digitized file that is perfect for copy milling. Adjustments to the digitized model can be applied to achieve the optimal copy milling result.

Flexible Interfacing
3SHAPE DENTAL SYSTEM
Flexible Interfacing & Advanced Indications Your access to emerging technologies and new indications Through constant attention to technology interfacing and manufacturing integration, the 3Shape Dental System™ provides the safest platform for your CAD/CAM investment.
Widest Manufacturing integration 3Shape offers the widest integration to manufacturing equipment among all CAD/CAM systems, ensuring 3Shape customers access to the latest and most competitive technology. In various configurations 3Shape Dental System™ integrates to essentially all machines including 3-5 axis milling machines, wax printers, laser sintering machines and digital model making machines. The actual interface is typically performed by customized output formats – not just STL – to achieve optimal performance. Examples of supported manufacturing equipment. Intra oral scan import Intra oral scanners are likely to become a key component in the future of digital dentistry. The 3Shape Dental System supports the import of scans, margin lines and order information from intra oral scanners such as Cadent iTero and 3M Lava. Imported scans can be used for restoration modeling using 3Shape’s DentalDesigner software. Full crown designed on intra oral scan. Post & core using impression scanning 3Shape’s adaptive impression scanning capabilities enable the scanning of post & core restorations, something which is impossible on traditional gypsum scanners due to the narrow core. Designing the post & core restoration takes place using the advanced 3Shape modeling functionality. Patent pending. Post & core scan and design.

Advanced Indications
3SHAPE DENTAL SYSTEM
Copy milling of wax-up bridges Enables high accuracy copy milling of complex and advanced wax designs by scanning the original wax-up design. The scan can be further modified e.g. overall reduction or using the sculpt toolkit, to make the most of the CAD/CAM investment.
Wax-up bridge scan. Combine all CAD modeling in one session The flexibility of DentalDesignerâ&#x201E;˘ allows the user to design all restorations in the same modeling session, thereby improving efficiency and clinical result. For example, it is possible to design a standard bridge, full anatomy crowns and implant bridge in the same modeling session.
Combined design. Telescopic crowns Enables the creation of individually-modeled primary telescopic crowns based on pre-defined geometrical shapes, user-defined angle and common insertion direction.
Telescopic crown case. Scanning of pre-preparation model and diagnostic wax-up The pre-preparation model and diagnostic waxup contain very valuable information for modeling of full anatomical crowns and general restorative work. Hence the pre-preparation model and diagnostic wax-up can now be scanned and aligned to the normal preparation scan and visualized during the design phase. Pre-preparation aligned to preparation scan.
