The award-winning 3Shape TRIOS intraoral scanner and its supporting software have gotten significant updates. Besides improvements to functionality in the scanner, there are now specific scan workflows for dentures and many more exciting enhancements.
In terms of the 3Shape TRIOS 4, the IO scanner now comes with a smart cord so you can plug in the wireless scanner if you are concerned with your battery running low.
TRIOS 4 now also includes 2-in-1 simultaneous scanning. So, when you take a 3D color scan, you can, at the same time, use the fluorescent light scan to detect bacteria concentration and surface caries*.

Lastly, as an option when exporting your scan, you can choose PLY exports to send a combined 3D format that includes color (STL files do not include color or texture).
For tutorials, you can also check out the TRIOS scanning workflow playlist from the 3Shape Academy.
Labs can now customize the TRIOS order form to only show and promote the services and materials your lab provides. Using the order form “Editor” you can now easily personalize the form and upload it to 3Shape Communicate.
