Zimmer Zfx Abutments and Compatible-with Products Now Available to 3Shape Dental System™ Users

Users of 3Shape Dental System™ will now be able to design implant cases using Zimmer Zfx abutments that include both original and compatible-with Zimmer Zfx products

Copenhagen, October 1st, 2014 – 3Shape, a global leader in 3D scanners and CAD/CAM software solutions and Zfx GmbH, a leading provider of dental oral rehabilitation products, today announced the addition of the Zimmer Zfx abutment library to 3Shape Dental System™, supported by new software capabilities within 3Shape’s Dental System™ solution.

3Shape users now gain access to the wide range of Zimmer Zfx prosthetic components including the option to connect to the Zfx milling center directly from the 3Shape Dental System™ interface. Technicians can now work locally with Zimmer Zfx titanium bases for making two-piece abutments, or choose to send designs to the Zfx Milling Center and receive single piece abutments in titanium.
