3Shape, Copenhagen, Denmark, recently unveiled new versions of its D-series desktop scanners and two new D-series models—D2000 and D1000. The D2000 and D1000 feature multi-line scanning technology, a new 3Shape proprietary feature designed to increase scanning speeds by 30%.
The D2000 benchtop scanner includes several new features, including all-in-one scanning and a large interior with room for two models, designed to enable clinicians to capture both the upper and lower models, all inserted dies, and occlusion information in a single scan.
