Scanners

smart optics mini, Vinyl Open Air, Vinyl High Resolution and Vinyl UXD are 3D scanners for the digitization of dentition models. Our 3D scanners convince with precision, speed, longevity and a huge range of functions. The combination of high-quality hardware and the clear and user-friendly dental scan 3 user software enables perfect digital preparation for further processing in a CAD system such as exocad^® DentalCAD.

Available as of August – the smart optics mini

You want to move a lot? We off er you the smart optics mini as an affordable alternative. The new fully automatic 3D desktop scanner made in Germany can precisely perform the common dental indications. It is ideal for all newcomers and professionals who want simple, fast and accurate in-house production at favourable conditions.

The open design allows the user to act quickly in the scan area, for example, to insert an articulator for a vestibular scan by removing the rotation axis. Another practical feature is the handy size, which allows dental digitization even where space is limited. However, the smart optics mini also contains a lot of “maxi”, because the basic module is already designed in such a way that the most important prosthetic and orthodontic indications are included. The smart optics mini is modular and can be expanded as needed.

Whatever you choose, its repeat accuracy of < 6μm and the 2-year warranty remain the same. Of course, the smart optics mini also has an interface to both exocad^® and OnyxCeph³™ software.
