3Shape A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark, entered a collaborative partnership with EnvisionTec, Gladbeck, Germany, and as a first result launched an automated interface enabling seamless integration between the standard 3Shape Dental System and EnvisionTec Printers.
 
The interface exists as an “stl” file interface or fully integrated into 3Shape CAMbridge®, enabling fully automated production. Existing and new 3Shape Scanner users should contact their supplier to confirm if the EnvisionTec interface is available for their particular version of the 3Shape system.
 
“We are very pleased with the integration between the 3Shape scanners and EnvisionTec printers making 3Shape customers able to seamlessly print high-quality wax patterns and virtual generated models created in the 3Shape software. Our customers are very excited by this opportunity, ” said Rune Fisker, vice president of product strategy for 3Shape, in an announcement from the company.
