Hey all, I'm looking to move back east. I've been doing this a along time. About 17 years. Experience with 3shape and other CAD/CAM systems, implants, crown and bridge, many other aspects of dental lab business and management. I'm comfortable on the phone with clients or working hands...

Does anyone know if it's possible to install a different version of 3shape as a stand alone on the same PC as your regular 3shape network/client set up? I'm looking to install 2019 to test but when I run the installer it wants to "update" my dongle. That sounds like it will screw up my 2018...

So, this is happening. A handfull of times a day dental manager will freak out and reset all the columns and stop working right. Also, the whole system gets a spinning "thinking" cursor every 30 seconds or so for about 5 seconds. There is an increase in other weird errors as well. Things not...

I must be missing something...I have one implant system in my 3shape software that will not allow me to un-select the use screw hole option. It's grayed out. Any idea how to enable the ability to not place a screw hole? Is this determined by the implant vendor?

I'm trying to go from 17.3 to 2018.2 and I'm having an issue with the client workstations. They hang on the connecting to database step. I'm not sure what I'm missing. Any ideas?

I've got a friend that's having issues with chipping. He's got one of the early vhf mini mills from Jensen. Sounds like after reinstalling the software, for some computer related reason, they've started to see chipping. Changed spindle, collet, new burs, even milling on a loaner machine and...

does anyone know if there's a way to just make a surgical guide without having to have a ct scan and actually plan implant placement. Trying to make something like the one tooth guides that gp's like so they aren't completely freehanding it. and yes, I know actually planning the surgery would...

is this possible. I sure can't figure it out. Please help...I'm so tired...

for the last few days 3shape has been doing a weird thing. In dental manager, it will stall and give me the spinning circle every few minutes. Super annoying. I'm backing stuff up now in preparation for possible re-installation. Anybody else seen this and have a fix?

I'm having some weird behavior with our artex trasfer plates in our D2000. Things work as intended most of the time, but, more often then is acceptable, the software will close the bite weirdly even if we don't tell it to optimize. It should just transfer the location without interpreting...

So, I'm new to denture design in 3shape. Design seems pretty straight forward, but I'm missing something in order entry or something. I'm looking to output a base and separate teeth files. I can get a base, but not teeth. I may need a different artificial teeth library, but I'm not sure...

are there any alternative trays people are using in these furnaces? Looking for something large enough in diameter to take advantage of the space available. The original trays are developing large cracks. Any thoughts? Better? Cheaper?

I'm having an issue getting the gingva function to work in 3shape. I gave up in the 2014 version and would just sculpt everything in the final bridge design step. We just upgraded to 2017 and I was looking forward to trying the gingiva design on prettau style bridges but I get the same...

that's pretty much my question. We end up scanning a lot of titanium inserts, for a variety of reasons, instead of scan bodies. The results have been good but scan and design is a little trickier working from scanned inserts. I don't remember the last one that we were able to used scan bodies...

So, I know how to do all the basic cleaning but, we're starting to get some build up in our emax mill that seems like it may need something more powerful. Anyone tried to run anything through their mill for the purpose of de-scaling / decalcification (or whatever the buildup is)? I thought...

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to more effectively clean printed models? Specifically analog holes and small die holes. We follow Stratasys' directions but still end up with a little support gunk in there.

I'm looking to possibly add Exocad to my arsenal. We're all 3Shape currently. Any recommendations for a Exocad reseller? Any advice greatly appreciated.

we're looking for someone in the Portland, OR area to either join the team or be an outside contractor (contract work needs to be local - no shipping back and forth). PM me if interested and I'll get you in touch with our hiring manager.

Anyone ever had this error on their mihm vogt ht speed?

So, I installed the 64 bit version of 2.9.9.5 on a new computer that is to be our new server. With the 64 bit the client stations could not connect to the database. After screwing around for too long, I installed the 32 bit version of the server install and everything worked. I'd rather be...
