3Shape.

3Shape's about page says Nikolaj Deichmann and Tais Clausen met in 1999, Clausen with an engineering thesis on 3D imaging and Deichmann from business studies, and opened the company in 2000. For about five years the work was with hearing-aid companies. In 2005 the company released its first dental lab design and CAM software, opened a developer office in Kyiv, and started a manufacturing site in Poland that the page says soon produced one thousand scanners a year. The page prints 3Shape A/S at Niels Juels Gade 13, 1059 Copenhagen K, and a corporate address at Holmens Kanal 7, both with telephone +45 7027 2620, and says people work in 28 countries with headquarters in Copenhagen.

The same page dates the first TRIOS intraoral scanner to 2011 and says it was the first scanner to scan without powder, which is 3Shape's claim. TRIOS 3 is dated 2015. TRIOS 3 Wireless is dated 2017 and called the first wireless intraoral scanner, again the company's wording. TRIOS 5 Wireless is dated to the end of 2022 and described as the smallest and lightest scanner to that point. TRIOS Core and a single-use Ready Tip are 2024 releases on that page. TRIOS 6, with hyperspectral imaging and Dx Plus software, is dated to IDS 2025.

3Shape Unite, dated 2021, is the platform the page says lets a clinic send a TRIOS scan to a treatment, a partner, or a lab. Lab scanners, including an F8 model mentioned with a 2023 design award, are a different device from the intraoral wand. A powder-free claim from 2011 does not describe every setting on a 2025 scanner. Read the current IFU for tip sterilization, including whether the tip is the single-use Ready Tip or a reusable tip.

Awards listed for 2023, including a Red Dot award, are design and trade prizes named by the company. They are not a clinical accuracy number. Ask the dealer for the accuracy and speed sheet for the TRIOS generation on the quote, and for which CAD software accepts the file.

3Shape suits a clinic that wants a TRIOS scanner and a lab that wants the company's design software or a lab scanner. Intraoral scanners are compared on the intraoral scanner guide.

The scan still has to reach a design system. Confirm the export before you drop polyvinyl siloxane from the schedule.

TRIOS is the intraoral line. The 2005 lab software and the Poland-built scanners are the laboratory line. Unite connects them. Buying a wand does not include a mill.

The 2011 powder-free claim and the 2017 wireless claim are 3Shape's wording about those launch years. A TRIOS 6 specification is newer and should be read on its own sheet.

Use Niels Juels Gade 13, 1059 Copenhagen K, or the corporate address Holmens Kanal 7, and +45 7027 2620, as printed on the about page. Ask which office supports your country.

A Kyiv developer office and a Polish factory are history on that page. They do not tell you where a replacement tip ships from today.
