3Shape digital workflow
TRIOS scan → design → integrated production.
What is it?
3Shape is a digital dentistry company whose software and scanners support chairside scanning, CAD design, and transfer to compatible milling or production systems for restorations including veneers.
What problem does it solve?
Connects the digital model, the design, and the production step so fewer manual transfers are needed between scan, plan, and fabrication.
Who might benefit?
Patients interested in digitally designed veneers, crowns, and implant restorations.
What are the limitations?
The provider's workflow and laboratory partnerships determine what is actually produced. 3Shape provides the digital pipeline; the final restoration is still fabricated by an approved production system.
