*** PROJECT TASK In 2014 the Klagenfurt based company a-tron 3D entrusted us with the task to design a suitable control system for their revolutionary 3D scanning handpiece.
*** The intraoral 3D Scanner, which has been developed by a-tron 3D in record time, is the smallest and most flexible device that is currently available on the market for dental devices.
*** The system can be easily connected via USB to any computer with the necessary software.
*** Due to the fact that it is an open system, the STL-data can be processed in many CAD programs.
*** The system works based on parallel confocal imaging and captures data without the need to apply scanning powder.
*** The task was to develop the right control unit for this technically superior scanning system.
*** The AADVA Cart was supposed to achieve a high level of movability and flexibility in the clinical daily routine and also to be able to be packed into a compact size for transportation.
*** In order to fulfill those rather contradicting requirements, five different assembly variations have been developed in the concept phase of the project.
*** One of which was picked later as the final design.
*** During our cooperation a-tron 3D has been acquired by the Japanese GC group, which had consequences especially in the area of corporate design.
*** Marc Ruta and Jürgen Jesenko at the International Dental-Show (IDS 2015) DESIGN PROCESS The high level of application competence and decisiveness distinguishes the development team of a-tron 3D from others.
*** Only the smooth collaboration of external design team, internal developers and external production made it possible to finish the development task in record time and in time for the exhibition.
*** The resulting agile developmentprocess basically dispenses with extensive presentation and documentation and leads to a direct exchange of information and ideas between the cooperating partners.
*** This approach made it feasible to fulfill the difficult requirements for the housing components with the mechanically challenging support arm by working together and integrating the standardized components for an ideal complete solution.
*** PROJECT RESULTS The innovative product with its clear and brand oriented design language has been introduced as the top innovation at the booth of GC at the International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne in March 2015.
*** In order to be able to present worldwide novelties again at the next IDS, the development in different areas is already going on.
