SensAble
Technologies, Inc®, a leading provider of touch-enabled 3D modeling
systems, dental CAD/CAM solutions and haptic devices, has announced
Release 3 of the SensAble
Dental Lab System (SDLS), with significant enhancements to this
integrated system for creating dental restorations efficiently and more
cost-effectively.
“The SensAble Dental Lab System has been a huge productivity plus to our
lab since day one, and it just keeps getting better and better”
Release 3 dramatically speeds the scan, design and fabrication processes
for partial
dentures as well as crowns and bridges; provides support for
milling; adds support for impression scanning and the SensAble OpenScan™
interface; and expands SensAble’s unique software intelligence, called
Intelli-Fit™, that automatically compensates for inaccuracies inherent
in both digital and manual processes such as scanning artifacts and
physical distortions introduced during fabrication processes. With
analysts predicting a significant increase in CAD/CAM-created dental
prosthetic devices through 2015, Release 3 lets labs gain
optimal value from their technology investment and achieve sought-after
efficiencies throughout their workflow.
In related news today, SensAble
announced its first two Authorized Milling Centers and introduced its
dental impression scanner (see press releases). The company will preview
Release 3 enhancements at the Cal-Lab and LAB DAY events in Chicago this
week.
"The SensAble Dental Lab System has been a huge productivity plus to our
lab since day one, and it just keeps getting better and better," said
Kristine Van Cleve, president of Dental Prosthetic Services (DPS). "In
our business, every minute saved goes directly to the bottom line. As a
beta partner, we're already appreciating the new release’s dramatic
speed improvements, and the many software enhancements that are allowing
us to complete even more types of restorations than before. Release 3 is
a perfect example of how SensAble continues to expand the versatility of
their system as well as their commitment to helping dental labs grow."
“Dental labs either have to get more efficient, or they face a
diminished role as digital methods transform the industry and demand for
dental restorations increases,” said Bob Steingart, president of
SensAble Dental Products. “But, speed isn’t enough – labs need to
produce accurate, consistent products on a repeatable basis, or their
dentists will go elsewhere. Release 3 of the SensAble Dental Lab System
continues to extend SensAble’s built-in advantage of total integration
from A-to-Z. We sweat the hundreds of details involved in digital design
and production so that lab technicians can focus on what they do best –
designing precise, esthetically pleasing and great fitting restorations.”
