3Shape announces launch of TRIOS for sales in North America

Oct. 18, 2012
Following TRIOS’ growing success in Europe, dentists in the U.S. and Canada can now order their own TRIOS system
Copenhagen — 3Shape, a leader in 3-D scanning technologies and CAD/CAM software for dental applications, declares “all systems go” for nationwide sales of its TRIOS solution in the United States and Canada. The announcement will be made at the ADA Annual Session in San Francisco. But already, TRIOS resellers are taking orders for delivery next month. "We are very excited to bring state-of-the-art intraoral scanner technology to the largest dental market in the world,” says Flemming Thorup, 3Shape’s CEO. “The many North American labs that are using 3Shape Dental System, or those who order our TRIOS InBox separately, will be able to connect with clinics using TRIOS. We believe that 3Shape will soon become a strong brand in clinics – just as it has in labs.”

Strong network of reselling partners and supporters
3Shape has signed up a wide network of national and local resellers to distribute TRIOS throughout North America to dentists, dental specialists, dental schools, and more. 3Shape’s strong distribution foundation has been carefully constructed to ensure optimal geographical coverage and fulfillment of 3Shape’s high standards for customer service and support of its products.

Certification and full regulatory compliance in place
The TRIOS system, as a medical device, is continuously developed under the strict regulations of the FDA and ISO 13485 requirements. 3Shape has passed all final safety tests and production inspections required for authorized sales and marketing of the TRIOS system in the U.S.

Closing in on complete digital workflows between clinic and lab
TRIOS enables dentists to rapidly capture the complete intraoral situation and send the 3-D model directly to the lab. It does not require prespraying of the teeth. The system clinically validates the impression, and includes flexible tools that allow dentists to edit their scans. Labs and dentists can communicate about the case using 3-D design visualizations, annotations, and messages.

In order to further strengthen support and services and closely backup its partners, 3Shape established a new office near Los Angeles, ensuring business-hour coverage throughout the country.
