COPENHAGEN, Denmark: Well known for its quality products and a global leader in 3-D scanners and dental software solutions, 3Shape has recently released the newest version of its CAD/CAM software for dental laboratories, Dental System 2018. The new system now has increased flexibility and functionality, making scanning, design and production workflows more efficient and dependable for dental technicians.

The increased flexibility of Dental System 2018 gives technicians the ability to combine many types of scans, as well as save and access designs during any step in the workflow. According to 3Shape, this makes the design of cases, especially complicated indications, simpler, more efficient and more predictable.

During development of the latest version of its CAD/CAM software, 3Shape worked closely with dental technicians, and the company said it has been able to make significant gains in all the right areas. “Dental System 2018 is a great leap forward. It opens new possibilities and brings us the much-needed freedom to import, export and align scans freely. The solution’s stability has been improved and the workflows are optimised. I love it!” said Przemek Seweryniak, CEO of Cosmodent laboratory in Sweden.

The Danish company boasts an open ecosystem, offering a range of treatment workflows, integrated libraries, design service partnerships and interfaces to virtually all manufacturing equipment and materials. With over 80 sleeve and implant libraries, integrated mills, 3-D printers and materials, laboratories can take advantage of open digital dentistry to serve the needs of their dentists and patients.

“This new 3Shape Dental System version received exceptionally positive feedback from the dental technicians taking part in the beta testing. Higher reliability and solid improvements have made Dental System 2018 a fantastic release! I really look forward to our users across the world benefitting from the new version,” said Rune Fisker, Vice President of Dental Lab at 3Shape.
