3Shape Dental System™ 2015 released with new features and third party integrations

Upgraded scanners and two new models – D2000 – D1000
3Shape has given its D-series of dental lab desktop scanners a major upgrade in addition to launching two new models, the D2000 and D1000. The upgraded D-series scanners and the two new models all feature increased accuracy and faster scanning speeds by upwards of 30%. The D2000’s larger interior has room for two models and can scan upper and lower models, bite and dies in one scan.*

Smile Composer™ 2.0 now integrated with Sculpt Toolkit
Dental System™ 2015 enables technicians to combine two steps in one. Choose from the full range of tools that were previously split between Smile Composer™ and the Sculpt Toolkit – and use them in any order. Smile Composer™ gives technicians the option to add/remove material and to automatically connect crowns to the margin line. A new smile library selector makes it easy to choose the best smile library for the clinical situation.

Design positioning guides for placing abutments
Create custom-designed positioning guides that can be milled and printed. Position guides are used to ensure accurate positioning during prosthetic placement.

Digital dentures
Denture Design™ is available as an add-on to Dental System™ 2015 and stand-alone module enables labs to create dentures digitally in fast and accurate workflows. Denture Design™ includes unique tools to improve denture occlusion and function. Initial clinical tests have confirmed the improved clinical performance and the possibility of reducing both chair time and the number of visits required for denture patients.

• Scanning optimized for dentures - Scan gypsum models (upper, lower, wax-rim) or impressions (centric, single trays).
• Model analysis for easy denture planning – Simply analyze the model ensuring optimal tooth selection and place-ment.
• Fast and easy placement with Smile Composer™ - Effortlessly set all teeth, adjust upper, lower, and selected blocks while preserving occlusion.
• Better dentures with new model analysis tools - Click on specific anatomical points directly on the 3D model and automatically get suggestions for optimal teeth libraries and placement.
• Flexible manufacturing methods - Extended support for a wide range of manufacturing methods including mono blocks for moulding. Create the gingiva base matched to the denture teeth and ready for 3D printing or milling including basal reduction.

Customized impression trays
Create customized impression trays using CAD/CAM that are shaped and matched to the clinical situation. The impression trays can be printed out on a wide range of 3D printers and materials.

Improved order form workflow - Change a case in the order form
Technicians can now change material and indications during designing without losing any case information. The upgraded Order Manager includes a simplified interface and combines all digital patient case information and efficiently organizes all lab orders for guided workflows and easy management.
