3Shape E4 Dental Lab Scanner
The 3Shape E4 is a high-speed desktop lab scanner engineered for full-service dental laboratories that need to scale production without sacrificing precision. Built as the successor to the widely used 3Shape E3, the E4 doubles both scanning speed and accuracy while adding a second pair of cameras for more efficient die and impression capture.
Key Advantages
Industry-leading accuracy: 4-micron precision certified to ISO 12836, suitable for implant-level case work.
Fast full-arch scanning: Captures a complete arch in as little as 9 seconds, letting technicians process more cases per shift.
Die-in-model scanning: Four 5MP cameras allow dies to be scanned directly in the model, eliminating the need to remove and scan them individually.
Impression scanning: Scan physical impressions directly, skipping the gypsum model production step entirely.
Full color texture capture: Supports shade communication and case documentation.
Backward-compatible feature set: Includes auto-start scanning and articulator holder support carried over from the E1, E2, and E3.
Who It's For
The E4 fits labs of any size looking to modernize their CAD/CAM workflow: smaller labs upgrading from an older 3Shape scanner, and high-volume labs that need a leaner, faster production line for crowns, bridges, implants, and clear aligner cases.
Software Compatibility
The E4 works with 3Shape Dental System software and supports optional add-ons such as Abutment Designer and Implant Studio for expanded treatment workflows.
