Delivers Advanced 3D Solutions tor Dental Labs and
Clinics
LAKE MARY, Fla., March 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
FARO® (NASDAQ: FARO), the world's most
trusted source for imaging for 3D measurement and imaging
solutions for 3D Design, announces the FARO Optor Series
platform, specifically designed and developed for dentists, dental
clinics and dental laboratories. With Optor, FARO is introducing
the exacting 3D industrial measurement standards and accuracy into
the dental industry derived from 20 years of proven expertise
in the manufacturing industry. Accordingly, users can be
supremely confident that their digital copy is an exceptionally
accurate representation of reality.
The Optor Series is a tightly integrated, one stop solution that
includes both structured light 3D scanner hardware with infrared
technology and the most advanced and powerful 3D scanning software.
The portfolio includes two unique digital dental scanners, Optor
Lab and Optor Clinic. Each scanner includes its own software which
ensures a seamless, optimized, workflow even as software or
hardware gets updated over time. Optor software ranges from an
Expert user mode to Guided procedure functionality where users can
be directed through a series of steps, so even beginner technicians
are able to easily and effectively drive the hardware to best in
class outcomes.
Optor Lab
(https://www.faro.com/faro-optor-lab/)
Optor Lab is specifically geared to dental laboratories and
dental technicians for use cases that include prosthesis, removable
frameworks, impressions and orthodontics. It can be seamlessly
downloaded into the most popular digital dentistry CAD solutions in
the industry for a confident and unbroken workflow. The dedicated
OptorL™ software package is designed to be
modular, so customers can selectively purchase the feature
package/packages that best meet their combined financial and
outcome requirements. Options range from accelerated scanning speed
up to 50% faster, enhanced scanning accuracy up to 5 micrometers
and/or color scanning, and/or single camera acquisition that allows
for increased completeness of the data e.g. more in-depth data
about holes or geometric nuances that a scan cannot provide.
Optor Clinic
(https://www.faro.com/faro-optor-clinic/)
Optor Clinic is specifically directed to dentists and dental
clinics for use cases that include implantology, impressions and
prosthesis. It is fully automated and able to scan up to three
impressions simultaneously. The operator simply has to put the
impression in the scanner and, with just a few clicks, can scan the
impression. The user does not have to move or manually rotate the
object.
"3D dentistry is not the future, it is the present," stated Thorsten Brecht Senior
Director 3D Design. "Optor delivers the highest level of
accuracy, precision and data completeness so there is no logical
reason that the industry should not rush headlong into 3D
digitization and away from manual processes. Time is money and,
since digitization results in fewer errors and better results in
significantly less time, it not only increases customer
satisfaction but also significantly enhances bottom lines across
the dental industry".
Optor Lab and Optor Clinic will be available for delivery in
July 2019. A potential future
addition to the portfolio, Optor Body, is currently showcased in
the FARO Early Adopter Program https://early-adopter.faro.com/.
It acquires the face and tracks the movements of the lower
jaw under different conditions and is geared to dentists and dental
clinics for smile design and ethical prosthesis applications.
