Concurrent Engineering Manager

Over the past 10 years, 3Shape has successfully launched several revolutionary optical 3D scanner products, serving the audiological and dental restoration industries. 3Shape Dental Lab scanners enable efficient digital workflows by scanning dental impressions and gypsum models, in order to facilitate CAD design of dental restorations. The TRIOS scanners enable high-definition, digital workflows directly in the dental clinic, and are disrupting the traditional dental workflows by eliminating the need for physical impressions of patient teeth. A new and innovative Dental X-ray scanner product, 3Shape X1, will complete the 3Shape scanner product range by providing the necessary data for advanced dental implant planning.
