3Shape, Copenhagen, Denmark, has released Dental System 2016—the latest version of its CAD software for dental professionals. The latest version includes new and updated applications and workflows, as well as completely rewritten software for impression scanning to eliminate steps in the dental lab workflow, according to the company.

Dental System 2016’s impression scanning application now eliminates a dental lab’s need for pouring gypsum models and other manual steps in the workflow.

All 3Shape dental lab scanners can now scan analog impressions and skip directly to CAD design, while 3Shape D2000 and D1000 lab scanner models feature multi-line scanning technology for more detailed impression scanning. According to the company, the new Dental System 2016 allows for scans of each side of a triple tray in less than 30 seconds and single trays in 75 seconds.

Dental System 2016 can be integrated with TRIOS® and third-party IOS and includes RealView with 2D Overlay.

3Shape includes LABcare with all Dental System subscriptions. LABcare includes annual software releases, including Dental System 2016. In addition, LABcare includes access to the 3Shape support network, as well as the company’s training channels such as webinars and videos.

Dental System 2016 is available through 3Shape resellers.
