3Shape recently rebranded its FullCounter Design Servicer to 3Shape Design Service, making it part of the company’s portfolio of digital workflow solutions for dental labs that includes 3Shape CAD-CAM design software, dental lab scanners and LabCare services.
The change allows 3Shape to bring the former FullContour’s design services into its innovation and research and development tracks, according to a press release.
It also makes it easier for labs to take advantage of the service as an integrated 3Shape digital dentistry solution.
3Shape Design Service will offer designs from dental professionals as well as AI driven design through 3Shape Automate, creating a service with two options that cater to different needs.
With the design service, which is open to scans from any brand, professionals can expand treatment capacity during busy periods and offer new indications without the cost and complication of adding new technology, software or specific design expertise. The full 3Shape software integration and integrated manufacturers allows for more efficient workflows.
The FullContour service produced more than five million dental designs worldwide since it opened in 2010. 3Shape will retain the design service’s offices in three countries and continue to provide customer support in five languages.
The more than 200 FullCounter designers, management and staff will remain with 3Shape Design Service. Product prices and services won’t be affected.
The service provides designs for copings, veneers, anatomical copings, cutbacks, split files, full contour crowns, clear aligner and splint designs, tooth borne surgical guides, and removable partials and full dentures.
