I industry news _ Sirona _Sirona Dental Systems, a pioneer in digi- tal dentistry and leading producer of dental CAD/CAM systems, has announced the launch of the inEos Blue desktop scanner. The advanced 3-D scanner allows dental technicians to scan dental models quickly, precisely and easily. InEos Blue is based on Sirona’s innovative blue light-emitting diode (LED), also know as Bluecam technology. Bluecam technology utilises short- wavelength visible blue light to facilitate flex- ible recording options, resulting in substantially faster scanning and precise 3-D digital models. The scanner affords dental technicians more control to determine what they want to record, allowing the design process of 3-D digital models to be per- formedwithprecision and speed. With inEos Blue,thetechniciancan now utilise an automatic image capture function (auto capture) that allows freemovementofthemodel in any direction, providing completecontroloftheangle of the scan. Thus, the user takes a digital impression only of the required treatment area with interactive control and increased flexibility. The inEos Blue scanner is available along with a computer and inLab 3D software. The scanner can be utilised as a stand-alone unit or in com- bination with the inLab milling unit for complete in-house production. In addition, inEos Blue can save and export scanning data in .STL format, thereby allowing the data to be processed using third-party software. “Our goal for inEos Blue was to create a scan- ner that provides superior optical precision, relia- bility, and speed, while providing the technician full control of the scanning process,” remarked Bart Doedens, Vice President of Dental CAD/CAM Systems. “Through our innovative Bluecam tech- nology, we are now able to bring the best digital dental scanning capabilities to our valued lab- oratory clients.”_ Sirona launches inEos Blue 42 I CAD/CAM 1_2010 Sirona Dental Systems 3030 47th Avenue,Suite 500 Long Island City,NY 11101 USA Tel.:+1 800 873 7683 E-mail:contact@sirona.com Website:www.sirona.com _contact CAD/CAM
