High-accuracy intraoral scanning without the premium price tag or ongoing subscription fees — the Shining 3D Aoralscan 3 is designed for practices that want proven digital capability without financial lock-in.
Scanning a single arch in 25 seconds with 30% improved accuracy and speed over the previous generation, the Aoralscan 3 handles general restorations, implants, orthodontics, and pediatric cases with equal ease. Two tip sizes — standard (16×12mm) and mini (12×9mm) — cover the full range of patient anatomy. AI-assisted soft tissue filtering and motion sensing reduce operating errors and minimize computer contact during scanning.
AoStation software ships with a perpetual license. No annual subscription. No per-case fees. Outputs in open STL, OBJ, and PLY — fully compatible with exocad and major lab workflows.
IDEAL FOR: General dentistry practices entering digital workflows, multi-location groups standardizing on an affordable scanner, and any practice that's been waiting for a reliable option at this price point.
