COLOGNE, Germany: This year at the International Dental Show (IDS), 3Shape is celebrating 25 years in CAD/CAM. However, it was first in 2005 that 3Shape launched its prototype dental laboratory scanner and software at IDS, a milestone which signalled the company’s shift from audiology to digital dentistry.

Twenty years later, 3Shape unveiled 3Shape Dental System 2024, the latest version of its CAD/CAM software for dental laboratories. A leading CAD/CAM solution for laboratories around the world, 3Shape Dental System 2024 introduces several innovations, including automation driven by artificial intelligence (AI).

Some highlights include up to ten times faster case management and a new, seamless integration with 3Shape Lab Management Software, which means laboratories no longer need to enter data twice between their 3Shape Lab Management Software and Dental System when designing cases.

Most importantly, the software now adds AI-generated crown design proposals for laboratories receiving 3Shape TRIOS scans, 3Shape laboratory scans and integrated third-party intra-oral scans. AI-generated design proposal is free for subscribers to 3Shape’s LabCare service package.

In addition, 3Shape is converting its software licensing for Dental System from dongle-based to cloud-based licensing.

Speaking to an enthusiastic crowd of engaged professionals at IDS 2025, Dr Rune Fisker, 3Shape’s senior vice president of product strategy, stated that “With TRIOS 6, we have changed how you practice state-of-the-art dentistry. This is redefining patient care, in terms of communication, in terms of clinical results and I think this is, truly, dentistry redefined.”

Visitors to IDS can explore 3Shape’s range of innovative products in Hall 4.2 at Booths K100 and J098/K099. More information about the company can be found at www.3shape.com.
