How to get started with 3Shape Account
- Identify your 3Shape Account company role
Before you start your onboarding to 3Shape Account in Unite, get to know the Company concept, and define your company role using the following guide.
- Company in 3Shape Account represents your clinic/organization in the 3Shape world and will serve as your identification when working with labs.
- 3Shape Account user is a unique identity in the 3Shape ecosystem and represents each of your clinic’s employees who will be 3Shape users. A user can have different roles:
- System administrator/Company owner should log in first, assign their company to the system and invite all other users to join the company.
- Company members log in after the administrator and should accept or send a “request invite” to join the company and become an account user.
Note: If you are in doubt of your role, you can find more information here 3Shape Account profile.
- Get started with 3Shape Account by using your existing account
In case you already have a 3Shape Account, 3Shape Communicate Account or 3Shape ID, an administrator will be asked to go through the first sign-in after you update. A guide will take you through the initial sign in.
The administrator will be asked to connect the Unite installation to a Company registered with a 3Shape Account. Once this is done, the administrator can start inviting colleagues to the Company. Colleagues can then create their own personal 3Shape Accounts to gain access to the entire 3Shape ecosystem in a simple and safe manner.
- Get started with 3Shape Account by creating a new 3Shape Account
If you don’t have a 3Shape Account yet, you need to create one. You can do this by visiting 3Shape Account registration page here, add your information and click ‘Create my account’. Alternatively, you can create your 3Shape Account directly in 3Shape Unite after you have upgraded to version 23.1. A tutorial will guide you step-by-step. Start by clicking ‘Get started’ in the center of the Unite sign-in screen.

NEW TRIOS Shade Measurement selection in the Guided Order Form
With the new 3Shape Unite update, you no longer need to guess the shade of the indication you are ordering from a lab.
Step 1: Select ‘Measure with TRIOS’ in the Guided Order. The tooth shade will be measured in the scanning step, added to your case, and sent to your preferred lab via 3Shape Communicate.
Step 2: Once the patient is scanned, you can enable the shade measurement with the ‘Shades’ button and add as many shades as you want including, Crown shade, stump shade, and extra shades of the neighboring teeth to provide better context.
Step 3: The shade measurement tool, when used inside the TRIOS software, generates screenshots with the shades clearly marked. You can review the shade measurement screenshots on the ‘Send’ page.
Step 4: The shade screenshots and comments are added to the printable order form and sent via 3Shape Communicate. This way your lab will be able to easily identify the shade and the source of information without having to open the full case in the 3Shape lab software.
Step 5: Finally, review the added shades, case instructions, and send to the lab by pressing the ‘Send’ button in Unite. Your case is visible both on the 3Shape Communicate portal and 3Shape Communicate mobile app.

Improved visualization of scans on the ‘Send’ page
Now, you can view scans with the same visualization tools as in the scanning step before sending the case to the lab.
You can choose between the following tools:
- Upper and lower jaw (default slider choice)
- Pre-preparation (for upper and lower jaw)
- Abutment scan flags (for upper and lower jaw)
- Post and core (for upper and lower jaw)
Improved guidance for non-post processed scans in the Patient Media Library
If you forget to post process your scans, the software will remind you by highlighting the scan that needs post processing in monochrome color. A note will remind you to post process the scan before you can move on to the next step in the treatment process.
NEW Option to use Patient Specific Motion and Bite scan for follow-up actions
Patient Specific Motion and the bite can provide more context for labs to assess and design the order requested. When you include the Patient Specific Motion scan with your order, you can help your lab better understand the patient's jaw movements, which can improve design and patient satisfaction with the result.
Improved loading time of media thumbnails in the Patient Media Library
New improvements to the Unite software speed up the time it takes for the software to load media in the Patient Media Library. You will now experience loading time only the first-time new media is introduced in patient media library. Thereafter, you will have quick access to preview or review scans.

Improved user experience with auto-selection of newly generated scans in the Patient Media Library
Right after you have scanned and sent your case to the lab, when returning to the Patient Media Library, the newly generated scan will now be pre-selected, so that you can quickly repurpose it by just clicking on your preferred next action below – for instance, send it to the lab for a new case or go to TRIOS Patient Monitoring to engage your patient.
NEW Auto-generated screenshots of patient scans and shade measurements available in the Patient Media Library
View auto-generated screenshots of the upper, low, bite scans or the added shade measurements if you selected to measure shade with TRIOS. Having the auto-generated screenshots in the Patient Media Library, will strengthen the relation between the number of attachments for a given case that you plan on sending to a lab and what media you have kept on a patient in the Media Library, and even reuse them for future case creation.
