The ability of 3D printing to allow users to create highly accurate, fully customizable appliances is crucial in a sector like dental<\/a> where perfectly fitted parts are necessary due to the vast differences between individuals. For this reason, 3D scanners<\/a> made specifically for the dental industry are becoming increasingly popular. Generally, these scanners come in two types, intraoral scanners<\/a> which allow dentists to scan directly into a patient\u2019s mouth and lab scanners which are designed to scan impressions of a patient\u2019s mouth. There are advantages to both as they are used in different ways, however for 3D printing, lab 3D scanners are often the ones used. We present in alphabetical order the top lab 3D scanners<\/a> used in the dental industry to help users to understand the available products currently on the market.<\/p>\n

AnySCAN VINYL HR Dental Scanner From Reitel<\/h3>\n

German company REITEL has developed AnySCAN VINYL HR, a dental 3D scanner designed for labs. With a fully automated Z-axis, users can save time when scanning, which can be done in color or not. Its touchscreen and 23-kilogram weight make this 3D scanner easy to handle, and it also incorporates a virtual articulator for easy digitization of jaw models. Users can choose whether to work in open or closed hood mode, and can select the scan mode they prefer to suit their parts. It’s a dental 3D scanner that offers a certain degree of freedom and a faster workflow.<\/p>\n

AutoScan-DS-EX from SHINING 3D<\/h3>\n

Chinese manufacturer SHINING 3D is known for its research and development of 3D scanning and additive manufacturing technologies. Its dental solutions include laboratory scanners, such as its AutoScan-DS-EX Pro(H) model. This tool uses blue structured light 3D scanning and can scan a model at high speed. It has relatively large dimensions of 260 mm x 270 mm x 420 mm and weighs only 5kg. According to the manufacturer, this scanner features a high level of accuracy and detail, a flexible workflow and several versatile scanning modes. Finally, in terms of dental applications, the AutoScan-DS-EX Pro(H) supports multiple dental scanning applications, such as wax-up, die, plaster model, impression, and texture, among others.<\/p>

CARES\u00ae <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>3 and 7 Series Dental Scanners\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Swiss company Straumann manufactures the CARES\u00ae 3 Series and 7 Series dental scanners. Both, according to the manufacturer, provide high scanning accuracy thanks to the latest generation of Blue Laser illumination system. The 7 Series comes with a slightly larger footprint and speed (up to 30 copings in 15 minutes, compared to the 3 Series with 12 copings in 10 minutes). Accuracy is 15 microns and the output format is STL. The fully integrated CARES\u00ae Visual software allows the user to design a wide range of prosthetics, followed by direct transfer to the chosen production solution, either in the laboratory or at another specialized facility.<\/p>\n

Ceramill Map 600+ from AmannGirrbach<\/h3>\n

The Ceramill map 600+ from the manufacturer Amann Girrbach is a high-performance scanner with three axes and an open installation space, which enables easy handling with an integrated universal carrier plate. The scanner uses blue light technology and a 3D sensor to produce an HD scan with an accuracy of 4\u03bcm. Thanks to intelligent DNA speed scanning, a full jaw scan is created in 18 seconds as an STL or PLY file. The Ceramill map 600 weighs about 55lbs (25 kg) and has a size of 16.3″ x 16.9″ x 18.5″ (415 x 424 x 469 mm).<\/p>\n

CS.Neo2 from CADstar<\/h3>\n

CADstar, an Austrian manufacturer, has developed a series of 3D scanners specifically designed to meet the needs of the dental sector. These include the CS.Neo2, a professional solution that uses structured light 3D scanning technology. This scanner is capable of capturing a complete model with a precision of up to 5 microns. Depending on the scanning mode selected, the CS.Neo2 can scan a dental prosthesis in just 12 seconds. Equipped with two 12 MP cameras, it ensures high resolution for sharp contours and precise details. The scanner is fully compatible with Exocad design software, and offers five export formats: 3Shape, Gamma, Onyx Ceph, STL and PLY. In addition to this solution, CADstar has also launched two other variants, the CS.Neo2 Pro and the CS.Neo2 Max, which retain the fundamental functionality of the CS.Neo2 while incorporating additional features to optimize the scanning process. These additions include additional color cameras with enhanced resolution and the ability to scan two models simultaneously.<\/p>\n
