3Shape Unveils Revolutionary CAD Workflow Enhancements at LMT Lab Day 2025 Celebration

On February 20, 2025, at LMT® Lab Day®, 3Shape marked 25 years of pioneering innovations in dental technology by unveiling a groundbreaking shift in CAD workflows tailored for dental labs. This announcement is set to drastically redefine how dental laboratories operate, enhancing their efficiency and productivity with the introduction of several new features and integrations.

Celebrating a Quarter-Century of Innovation

Rune Fisker, Senior Vice President of Product Strategy at 3Shape, expressed the excitement within the company, stating, “As the very first employee hired at 3Shape 25 years ago, I've witnessed CAD/CAM evolve from a bold vision into the industry standard.” Over the years, the swift adoption of digital workflows within dental practices and labs has been extraordinary, necessitating tools that enhance automation and speed.

3Shape’s dedication to improving digital dentistry is encapsulated in its latest offering, the 3Shape Dental System 2024. This software suite integrates advanced AI capabilities that will automate design proposals and streamline workflow tasks, allowing technicians to focus on patient care rather than routine administrative work.

Key Innovations in the Dental System 2024

1. AI-Powered Design Proposals
3Shape has introduced a free, integrated AI-driven application for crown design that will provide high-quality editable proposals directly from the system. This means dental labs can expect faster setup times and reduced manual input as they open new cases or conduct desktop scans.

2. Enhanced Efficiency
With the new software, labs can benefit from up to 10x faster case management and can reopen cases 20x faster. Routine tasks, including occlusal plane positioning and segmentation, will be automated, resolving common design issues through new tools specifically designed for removable partial dentures (RPD).

3. Integration with 3Shape LMS
The integration of 3Shape LMS with the Dental System simplifies workflows and minimizes duplicate administrative tasks. This enhancement ensures that labs can deliver a streamlined digital customer experience, with clients able to track case progress around the clock.

4. TRIOS ioConnect Workflow for All-on-X Treatments
3Shape is also introducing a seamless workflow for All-on-X full arch restoration cases, emphasizing collaboration between their software and TruAbutment's products. This integration aims to enhance the design process for complex treatments.

5. Cloud Licensing Transition
In a move to simplify software management, 3Shape is eliminating physical license dongles in favor of a cloud-based licensing system. This will offer technicians a clearer oversight of their software usage and facilitate seamless updates, ensuring access to the latest features and tools, enhancing their operational capabilities.

A New Era in Digital Dentistry

The 3Shape Dental System 2024 represents a culmination of extensive market experience and technological advancement, moving toward an era marked by speed, automation, and significant reductions in manual work. The emphasis on improving the user experience for dental labs highlights 3Shape's commitment to fostering a more efficient and productive environment for dental technicians.

With AI integration and workflow enhancements, 3Shape's upcoming offerings are expected to transform the daily operations within dental laboratories, ensuring they can deliver exceptional services to both practitioners and patients.

The changes will be rolled out in select markets starting April 2025, with extended access available for 3Shape LabCare subscribers using the newest version of the Dental System. As the landscape of dental technology continues to evolve, 3Shape stands at the forefront of this transformation, affirming their legacy of innovation within the industry.
