This award is an impressive endorsement of the performance and competitiveness of the medium-sized sector in the medical technology industry and – in particular – of the skills and craft of the company’s dental engineers. During the recent upgrade, they placed particular emphasis on incorporating software features from the world of artificial intelligence – tailor-made for dental practices. The unit offers a number of exceptional features, including automatic detection if the wrong side of the image plate is being exposed, automatic image rotation, automatic tooth detection and automatic quality checks on the image plate.
Dental teams will also enjoy other advantages courtesy of the hardware, which is designed for ease of handling and speed of use. For example, the mechanism for feeding in the image plates is noticeably faster than on the predecessor models. VistaScan Mini Easy 2.0 features a colour display made of glass that shows important additional information for users and enables intuitive operation. For dental teams, VistaScan Mini View 2.0 is particularly easy to control thanks to the high-resolution glass touchscreen. In addition, this image plate scanner will also shine in a colour of choice thanks to its freely adjustable ambient light feature – allowing you to perfectly match it to the interior design of your practice for really eye-catching appeal.
In addition to these features, both products also focus on aspects relating to sustainability. For example, Dürr Dental has managed to reduce power consumption over the predecessor models by around 30 percent (“Mini Easy”) and 40 percent (“Mini View”) respectively. On top of this, production of the image plate scanners is already CO2 neutral.
The renowned awards have a long tradition and highlight products that stand out from the crowd with exceptional design. The Red Dot Design Award is bestowed once a year by Red Dot GmbH & Co. KG from Essen in Germany and not only recognises innovation, functionality and design aesthetics, but also considers ergonomics and eco friendliness. With its iF Product Design Award, the iF Industrie Forum Design e. V., Hanover, recognises products that combine function, comfort and aesthetics in a special way.
