3Shape establishes new industry standard with launch of the D710 Multi Die™ 3D scanner

Copenhagen, February 26, 2010 - 3Shape A/S, a global leader in 3D scanners and CAD/CAM software solutions, proudly announces the release of its new D710 Multi Die^TM 3D scanner that brings remarkable scan, design and production speeds to the digital dentistry market.

"With our new D710 Multi Die^TM scanner, we are introducing a new industry standard for productivity.By giving dental labs a solution for organizing their workflows to produce cases in batches, labs can free up time for the scanner operator to accomplish other tasks," says Tais Clausen, CTO and Co-Founder of 3Shape A/S.
The D710 Multi Die^TM is based on 3Shape's user-acclaimed D700 3D scanner platform, with the added breakthrough ability to scan up to 6 dies in one batch using its robust die-feeder. The scanner automatically moves each die in turn into the center of the scanner for an obstacle-free camera angle, ensuring the sharpest focus, complete capture, and optimal precision for each individual scan in the batch. 3Shape supplies 2 Die Plates with the scanner for optimal efficiency.

The D710 Multi Die^TM is built with 3Shape's unique 2-camera and 3-axis motion system which, along with superior adaptive impression scanning, also intelligently detects incomplete areas and automatically rescans those areas to obtain full coverage.

Additionally, the D710 Multi Die^TM scanner features a vast, market-leading number of advanced scan indications, covering impression scanning, post & core, 14 unit bridges, articulated antagonist model, deep inlays, pre-preparation model aligned to preparation, model implant position and orientation detection, wax-up customized abutment, and wax-up implant bridges for copy milling."The new D710 Multi Die^TM is an addition to our existing D700 line of 3D scanners, and it targets medium-to-large dental labs where efficient production is a must and requires them to group orders into batches for maximum utilization of resources and time," states Henrik Vestermark, Vice-President of Business Development for North America.

The D710 Multi Die^TM 3D scanner integrates with 3Shape's Dental System^TM which also includes the intuitive DentalDesigner^TM CAD modeling software and the DentalManager^TM application for managing and exchanging production files. The first customer shipments are scheduled to begin April 1, 2010.
