3Shape Automate is geared towards dental technicians needing to cope with rush periods and overflow orders. 

3Shape introduced 3Shape Automate—a dental design service platform exclusively powered by AI technology. According to the company, the self-service design service is geared towards dental technicians needing to cope with rush periods and overflow orders. 

On the Automate website, dental technicians can setup an unlimited number of orders, add their customized design instructions, upload scans, and choose their desired turnaround time. 3Shape says that Automate AI technology then creates and returns all design proposals at the selected delivery time, regardless of the number of designs ordered. 

“AI technology is revolutionizing the world. At 3Shape, we began applying AI two years ago to make intraoral scanning with TRIOS effortless. We then used it with our dental software to make workflows much more efficient. Now with the launch of 3Shape Automate, dentistry takes a huge leap forward,” says Jakob Just-Bomholt, 3Shape CEO. “Automate is about making life easier for lab technicians. And in keeping with our open philosophy, it means that Automate is open to both 3Shape Dental System and Exocad users. It’s simply, a game changer!”

3Shape Automate pricing is based on design turnaround time. According to the company, users can review every design and only pay for designs they approve and download. 3Shape LabCare customers receive a 10% discount on Automate design costs.

Lab professionals can upload files from 3Shape Dental System, Exocad software, and directly from select scanners. The platform is available 24/7 in the United States and several European countries.
