July 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Bologna, 15th July 2011

EGSolutions, a leading developer of cutting-edge solutions for processing digital models from data captured with 3D scanners, launches DScan.

DScan is a 3D scanner designed specifically for the dental market. EGSolutions offers a complete solution for dental professionals by seamlessly integrating DScan with DentalCAD 2012, a computer-aided design (CAD) program to model crowns, bridges, anatomic prostheses and customized implants.

DScan key features include:
•   High precision and reproducibility: accuracy as high as 15 microns, tested in a metrology environment;
•   Customizable acquisition strategies: arc jaws, stumps, bridges, antagonists and wax-ups;
•   Impressions acquisition;
•   Maximum reliability: high-quality mechanical and electronic components;
•   Compact size: fits in any laboratory due to DScan's reduced size and weight;
•   Tailored configuration: users are able to completely customize acquisition parameters and options;
•   Open system: datasets are exported in common formats, including STL, PLY and ASC, which can be read in any CAD/CAM system.

EGSolutions relied on its extensive expertise in electronic and mechanical design in order to create DScan. DScan is also a testament to its location in Bologna, which is a world-renowned centre for precision mechanics, particularly in the packaging and automotive fields.

EGSolutions’ partners are designers and producers of high-quality components for multinational companies, such as GD, Marchesini Group and IMA as well as the exemplary carmakers Ferrari, Ducati, Lamborghini and Maserati.

“DScan is produced entirely in Italy (Bologna) near EGSolutions' headquarters. This allows us to ensure high production standards and excellent quality—all at a very competitive price,” said Gabriele Canella, Chief Executive Officer of EGSolutions. “We are able to oversee the entire process by applying our vast knowledge of software development and mechanical and electronic design. The result is a complete solution to interface with milling and rapid prototyping machines: DScan and DentalCAD 2012.”

DScan has an actual and reproducible precision of 15 microns. It is an open system, thus allowing exporting data in the most common formats used by CAD/CAM applications. The scanning process is completely automated and is based on two synchronized axes driven by an industrial PLC. Users can customize acquisition parameters and options.

The high precision and robust technical features of DScan enables professionals to acquire complete arc jaws, stumps and impressions, thanks to a unique design of the optics.

The DScan scanner is a perfect companion to DentalCad 2012. Available from EGSolutions, the DScan + DentalCad 2012 bundle represents a complete and proprietary solution for the dental market.
