A Dental lab scanner is a product that is used to convert conventional dental impression made on putty / any impression material into digital impression by scanning the dental impression or physical die stone model.
The dental lab scanner is based on 3D capturing techniques that switch all images while scanning and produce it on the system. Dental lab scanner can be used by both clinicians as well as dental lab operators for the purpose of scanning impressions.
The benefits of having a dental lab scanner are that the records of dental impression can be made digitally instead of physically storing, digital accuracy of cad production ( cad-cam crowns, etc)

Blue light-based
Multi blue LED line light-based
