3Shape F8

LAB SCANNER

The 3Shape F8 lab scanner is the latest high-end model in the 3Shape portfolio, developed specifically to meet the needs of modern dental laboratories. With its innovative, open design and ability to scan two models simultaneously, the F8 sets new standards in efficiency and ease of use.

Operation is virtually touch-free: magnetic scan plates and an Autostart function automatically initiate the scanning process as soon as the models are placed in the scanner. The scanning software intelligently recognizes and processes the models, minimizing the need for manual intervention.

The F8 supports a wide range of applications, from complete articulator scans and triple-tray impressions to single abutments, while delivering ISO-certified accuracy of 4 μm. Its open, doorless design speeds up the workflow and enables a quick, seamless transition from scanning to design.
