All removed and previously approved PC’s can be found in the Legacy PC Catalog here.


Before reading the PC catalog please complete reading all five points as they contain vital information about PC selection

 

The purpose of the PC catalog is to inform customers about which PCs can be used with different 3Shape products

1 The importance of the PC

The PC is an important part of the overall 3Shape system. It is the engine on which the software is run, and consequently the software puts some requirements on the PC. Selecting the correct PC will ensure a good user experience and effective workflow for the user. This document outlines how to determine which PC to use for a given 3Shape system or combination of systems. If a combination of 3Shape systems is used, make sure all systems installed on the PC, are updated to the latest version.
2 Selecting a PC
 
If the system includes TRIOS scanning, a PC from the “List of specific PCs” must be used in order to guarantee proper operation. PCs approved for TRIOS scanning will support the following scanners:  TRIOS standard, TRIOS color, TRIOS 3, TRIOS 3 Wireless, and TRIOS 4. 3Shape cannot guarantee proper operation of a TRIOS Scanner on PCs that are not listed in this PC list.

If the system does not include TRIOS scanning, it is also possible to select a PC that complies with the specifications listed in the section “Minimum PC requirements for 3Shape Software packages”.
3 Ordering a PC

For ordering information on the PCs delivered by 3Shape, locate the 3Shape item number under the PC name.
Not all PCs are available from 3Shape.


All PCs are subject to the local availability from the PC manufacturer.
Not all models may be available from the PC manufacturer in all regions. Not all models may be available from each reseller.
4 PC Configuration

Some PCs allow for variation of specific parameters within some certain limits. In these cases, the variations allowed
are denoted by the terms ‘or’/ ‘or more’.


The specific PC configuration available from 3Shape will depend on the availability from the PC manufacturers
at the date of order. 3Shape will, upon request, inform of the specific PC configuration as delivered by 3Shape.
5 Windows edition

3Shape develops and test the systems for Windows Pro version as this contains several benefits over the Home version. The Pro version will enable the PC to be part of a corporate domain, whereas the Home version will not. For Windows 10, only the Pro version will allow full control of Windows updates.  For full information please refer to the ‘PC setup guide for TRIOS’ document. 3Shape products will in general also work on Windows Home edition, but only the Windows Pro version is tested on a regular basis, why 3Shape clearly recommends Windows Pro.  Important note: TRIOS3 Wireless scanner requires Windows 8.1 or Windows 10.

Notes
1     TRIOS 3 Wireless scanners require Windows 10 OS.
2     Software (Studio/Clinic Apps or Dental System) will not be installed from factory. Reseller must install the software.
3     PC is approved for Dental System design station only. For Dental System scanning, we recommend stationary computers (P340/M720), but all laptop models can also be used.
4    In order to run 3Shape products on Apple computers, Windows need to be installed which therefore requires more setup for the reseller (requires Bootcamp, see instructions on Apple’s website).
5     This PC is sold together with E3, E4, and D/R 2000. Note that PCs for all refurbished models are subject to change and may not be the same as for new units.
6    This PC is sold together with E1 and E2. Note that PCs for all refurbished models are subject to change and may not be the same as for new units.
7     Please refer to the recommendation for Implant Studio when looking for specific PC for X1 Viewer.
8    Only recommended for use as a client in aof Client Server setup.

 

All systems including a TRIOS must be delivered to end users with a configured PC

 

3Shape provides fully functional computer with TRIOS software installed. Alternatively, Reseller purchases, configures and delivers fully functional computer with TRIOS software installed. Please note! Distributor may
be required to exchange some parts (e.g. RAM, disk, etc.), depending on the available configurations by the computer supplier. All specifications are subject to change without notice.

 

PC setup guide


The user experience (especially when using TRIOS) depends to a very large degree on the proper configuration of the PC used. To ensure proper setup of the PCs, 3Shape provides a document intended for distributors of TRIOS®. It describes all steps required to set up a new PC to enable fast and accurate scans with the TRIOS POD systems (cart systems are delivered fully configured). The document may be found on the 3Shape support site. The document is subject to change.

  1. The minimum PC requirements for Dental Desktop Server are for a setup with no more than 10 clients, and where the server will not be used as an active workstation. Please see “Network speed requirements” for requirements to network bandwidth and connection for the server PC. If the Dental Desktop Server PC will be used for TRIOS scanning, the PC needs to be selected from the List of approved PC’s. If the Dental Desktop Server PC will be used as a workstation for Implant- or Design Studio, the PC needs to fulfill the minimum PC requirements for the selected 3Shape product. For more information on client-server setup please refer to the TRIOS Info Pack: Client-Server setup.
  2. If you plan to connect to your own (existing) database instead of installing the included SQL Express Server, please check requirements for instance and database settings in the Dental Desktop SQL Server Guide.
