3Shape has released a new software interface that enables restoration designs created with the 3Shape Dental System to be manufactured with 3M ESPE Lava materials and milling machines.

Dental labs and milling centers that employ 3Shape's scanners and CAD software can now expand their CAD/CAM services and satisfy the needs of customers requesting restorations manufactured with 3M ESPE materials, the company announced.

Last spring, 3Shape and 3M ESPE collaborated to release the first interface between their systems that enabled scans from Lava Chairside Oral Scanners to be modeled in 3Shape's Dental System design software. With this latest release, integration between 3M Lava and 3Shape dental systems encompasses the manufacturing aspect as well, the company noted.

The interface has been validated and approved for all 3Shape scanners, including D250, D640, D700, and D710.
