Making intraoral scanning mobile
The Dental Wings Portable Intraoral Scanner is said to be ideal for practices with limited space.
Based on the same innovative technology as the original Dental Wings Intraoral Scanner, the new Dental Wings Portable Intraoral Scanner is designed with the same performance yet in a small, portable form factor. It is said to be ideal for practices with limited space or multiple operatories.
Seamless connectivity between dental clinics and laboratories is enabled through an intuitive communication platform called DWOS Connect. Open export of STL file format is engineered to allow dentists immediate access to the scan data for chairside production or to collaborate with laboratory partners while the patient is still in the chair.
