Planmeca Focus Concept
A Handheld 3D Scanner for Intraoral Dentistry
Envisioning Planmeca’s Brand in a Handheld Scale
In 2014 intraoral 3D imaging was Planmeca’s newest technology, and this concept development project was dedicated to envision Planmeca’s design DNA in a handheld scale.
3D Imaging devices are used to 3D scan dental patient’s mouth: the geometric data can be used to design near-perfect prosthetic teeth, made with a 3D printer. Planmeca Group is a world-leading dental unit and x-ray devices manufacturer.

Benefits of Intraoral 3D Scanning
3D Imaging is used to achieve quick prosthetic turnaround with minimal human errors. Accurate 3D data is captured from patient and then used in dental CAD software to design the prosthetic tooth or bridge. The final design will be produced with Planmeca 3D printer, providing a quick turnaround for a prosthetic.
