Implant Studio — Software updates

What's new: improvement and changes

3Shape Implant Studio 2026.1

3Shape Implant Studio 2026.1  creates more options for you to design advanced implant cases. The software now supports multi-unit abutment planning, and we have streamlined the screw-retained crown design process into a smooth, iterative one-step workflow for faster, more intuitive planning.  Download it here.

NEW Multi-unit abutment planning (MUA)

With Implant Studio 2026.1’s enhanced integration with 3Shape Dental System, labs and clinicians can now design restorative components directly in Dental System based on their implant and MUA planning done in Implant Studio. The smooth integration eliminates data transfer errors and ensures a fully digital workflow.

  • Streamlined Full-Arch Planning
    Workflows for treatments like All-on-4 and All-on-6 have been simplified with intuitive tools designed specifically for full-arch restorations.
  • Enhanced Implant Parallelism
    Easily align implant or restorative axes for optimal outcomes and prosthetic fit.

How MUA planning works

NEW Improved workflow for screw-retained crowns

Now you can design screw-retained crowns in a single, seamless iterative step—eliminating the need for time-consuming “copy and remove approval” workarounds. The optimized workflow simplifies complexity and saves you valuable time.
