3Shape releases Dental System 2010

3Shape A/S has released its next generation Dental System 2010. This software for dental CAD/CAM solutions brings new indications never before seen in the digital arena, offering productivity and business gains for dental laboratories.

According to the company, the new Dental System 2010 features include simultaneous modelling on the upper and lower jaw, Dynamic Virtual Articulation, the market’s fastest digital design of removable partials, SmileComposer with mirror and clone functionality for designing esthetic full anatomy bridges, sophisticated design of implant bars, virtual addition of attachments for any indication and many more features.

Tais Clausen, CTO and 3Shape co-founder, has already demonstrated Dental System 2010 to hundreds of dental professionals at seven different locations in the United States.

“Attendees were very impressed with the many new features,” Clausen said, “but they were also very happy to see that 3Shape has improved and strengthened Dental System’s basic engine functionalities, such as copings, bridges and abutment design, making these essential indications even faster and easier to design.”

Selected dental laboratories have been using Dental System 2010 and evaluating its performance with actual customer cases. Kurt Reichel, founder and owner of Kurt Reichel Dental Lab, is already providing restorations using the latest Dental System 2010 features.

“It’s like driving a sleek vehicle with enormous engine power,” Reichel said. “Dental System 2010’s new SmileComposer and Dynamic Virtual Articulation have sped up our workflow significantly while ensuring new levels of esthetics and consistent results. The new partial design software has opened up a whole new profitable service area for my business.”

3Shape has released Dental System 2010 to its partners, who will be providing it to end-users in the course of the next few months.
