The Ceramill Map FX is designed to provide dental laboratories with an efficient, modular 3D desktop scanner that meets the specific needs of its users, per a press release from Amann Girrbach. It is said to combine the essential elements of high precision, short scanning times, and future-proof modular upgrades, making it an appealing choice for dental professionals looking to streamline digital processes.

Said to be one of the most compelling aspects of this new dental scanner is its modular design, which allows users to expand and upgrade the device as needed, ensuring its long-term utility, as well as customizability for different dental labs. The Ceramill Map FX offers a basic version that caters to entry-level digitization at an attractive price/performance ratio. It can handle basic prosthetic and orthodontic indications while also offering advanced scanning options, ensuring a broad range of applications.

Another notable feature of the Ceramill Map FX is its high precision, with even the optional HD scan achieving an accuracy of up to 4 μm, ensuring the kind of quality dental work that both patients and practitioners desire. The scanner also supports various scanning options, including impression scanning and "multidie," providing maximum convenience for users. Moreover, it offers open interfaces for connectivity with all common CAD/CAM systems via .STL and .PLY files.
