3Shape announced that the TRIOS 6 intraoral scanner has been honored with the European Product Design Award (EPDA) 2025 in the category Industrial/Healthcare: Medical Products.
The EPDA Award Statement reads: “TRIOS 6 combines cutting edge functionality with meticulous Danish design. Its sleek, pen grip form reflects the precision of its advanced technology while ensuring effortless ergonomics. The new blue metallic finish introduces a fresh and modern aesthetic, and a level of design rarely seen in dental equipment. Complementing this is its aluminum POD, a beautifully crafted holder to securely store the scanner.”
“We are pleased to see the TRIOS 6 intraoral scanner recognized with the European Product Design Award,” said Jacob Vishof Paulsen, ceo, 3Shape. “It confirms the hard work and innovation behind our products, as well as our focus on combining engineering expertise and design to deliver superior dental care for patients. TRIOS 6 is a revolutionary solution that not only redefines the advantages of intraoral scanning but is an esthetically striking addition to dental practices.”
Launched in March 2025, TRIOS 6 introduces hyperspectral technology that captures data from white, fluorescent, and near infrared light sources simultaneously. Compared to previous 3Shape scanners, TRIOS 6 delivers up to 110% higher scan resolution, offering 3Shape’s best ever scan quality.
The scanner supports diagnostic aid through Dx Plus software. 3Shape’s AI assistive Dx Plus software uses TRIOS 6 intraoral scan data to help dentists objectively detect key oral health conditions. Findings are presented as 3D visualizations that can be shared chairside and sent to 3Shape’s DentalHealth mobile app for patients to help them better understand oral health and treatment options. Availability of Dx Plus varies; dental professionals are advised to check with their 3Shape representative.
The EPDA recognition adds to prior honors for the TRIOS family of intraoral scanners. Over the past decade, TRIOS scanners have received multiple design and technology awards, including four Red Dot design awards and the Cellerant “Best of Class” Technology Award for 12 consecutive years.
The European Product Design Award recognizes innovation, usability, sustainability, and market potential across categories that include technology, consumer goods, transportation, and medical and scientific design. Brands previously recognized by the EPDA include Philips, Mazda, BMW through a Nuna × BMW collaboration, BYD, Natuzzi S.p.A., Elica S.p.A., and BLOND.
