A huge leap forward in efficiency and digital innovation for dental laboratories has been announced by CAD supplier 3Shape.
This year 3Shape celebrates 25 years of innovation by revolutionising dental lab workflows like never before.
It will soon be adding a free and fully integrated AI-driven crown design application and several workflow innovations to its 3Shape Dental System 2024 software to significantly enhance efficiency and digitisation for dental labs.
‘As the very first employee hired at 3Shape 25 years ago, I’ve witnessed CAD/CAM evolve from a bold vision into the industry standard. The rapid adoption of digital workflows by both labs and practices has been remarkable. That’s why it’s essential for lab technicians to experience the speed, automation, and convenience of our new Dental System 2024 software,’ says Rune Fisker, senior vice president of products at 3Shape.
At the recent LMT Lab Day and IDS in Germany, 3Shape introduced several new and innovative upgrades to its 3Shape Dental System software for labs that include integrated and free AI-driven design automation, faster case management, 3Shape LMS software updates and workflow integration, TruAbutment ioConnect partnership, and seamless cloud-based licensing.
Key highlights for 3Shape Dental System 2024:
1. AI powered design proposals – now free with 3Shape LabCare
- Labs will receive high-quality AI-powered editable design proposals for crowns, inlays and onlays direct from 3Shape Automate when opening cases or desktop scanning. The integrated workflow requires no manual setup
- AI design proposals are included free with a 3Shape LabCare subscription to maximise productivity for dental labs.
2. Enhanced efficiency with new Dental System 2024 software
- Ensure quicker turnaround times with up to 10 times faster case management
- Improve productivity with up to 20 times faster reopening of cases
- Free up time with AI-powered automation for routine tasks such as occlusal plane positioning, segmentation and annotation placement
- Eliminate common design issues with automated scan alignment and correction tools
- Streamline design processes and reduce manual adjustments post-production with new sculpt tools for RPD teeth.
3. New integrations for 3Shape LMS
- 3Shape LMS and Dental System now integrated to streamline every task – reduces admin work and double data entry between the two solutions
- 3Shape LMS delivers true digital customer experience – 3Shape LMS integration with 3Shape Unite Cloud for dental practices enables labs to collaborate and communicate with their clients via the cloud. The integration additionally provides the lab’s clients with a transparent overview of their cases 24/7.
4. TRIOS ioConnect workflow for all-on-X treatments
Labs can now take advantage of 3Shape’s seamless TRIOS ioConnect workflow for all-on-X full arch restoration cases. This innovative collaboration integrates the power of ioConnect’s elongated abutments with 3Shape’s Dental System software and TRIOS intraoral scanners, providing dental labs with an efficient solution for designing all-on-X treatments.
The company also expects to soon release a Straumann TRIOS workflow with Straumann’s new Exact scan bodies for all-on-X cases as well.
5. Cloud licensing: freedom from physical dongles
Physical software license dongles are being eliminated by 3Shape, moving instead to a cloud-based licensing system. The cloud license will connect to the 3Shape account and provide labs with a clear overview of all their purchased software.
Having the software license on the cloud will also simplify the updating of software. This ensures labs are always benefiting from the latest functionality and improvements to their software.

Dental System 2024 marks a new era in digital dentistry by providing labs with enhanced speed, automation and convenience. With AI-driven efficiency, intelligent integrations and software innovations, this latest release ensures that dental lab professionals can focus on what matters most – delivering exceptional service to their customers.
