Cadent iTero Data Export Now Available for 3Shape Restoration Systems

CARLSTADT, N.J. - Oct. 20, 2008 - Cadent, the leading provider of 3-D digital solutions for the orthodontic and dental industries, today announced that iTero digital impression system case data can be exported to file formats supported by the 3Shape Dental System, an integrated solution for the creation of accurate customized dental restorations.

From within the iTero Lab Application, data from the original data file (not a third-generation analog copy) is exported into several STL, PTS and XML files, which provide the digital model required for in-lab milling of copings and full coverage restorations as well as margin line data. These files also allow for transfer of case-specific data, including: case identification, export time, lab technician, dentist, due date, manufacturer type for export, preparation type, and material.

“The iTero export function has been customized to ensure seamless compatibility with the 3Shape Dental System, reflecting our ongoing effort to extend the reach of iTero’s open-architecture design,” said Tim Mack, chief operating officer of Cadent. “Dental laboratories outfitted with 3Shape’s advanced technology can now integrate the iTero interface and accelerate the creation of customized restorations.”

“3Shape is happy to offer this flexibility to the users of our standard 3Shape Dental Restoration System and in this way facilitate the use of iTero,” said John Higgins, sales manager at 3Shape. “3Shape provides state of the art 3D scanning and software technology packed into a user-friendly dashboard both in standard versions and customized in partnership with major dental laboratory supply companies worldwide.”
