From March 25 to 29, Cologne welcomed thousands of dental professionals from around the world for IDS 2025—the global stage for dental innovation and industry connection. With 2010 exhibitors and over 135,000 visitors in attendance, this year’s edition reaffirmed IDS as the pulse of the dental world.
For UP3D, 2025 marked a dual celebration: the company’s sixth appearance at IDS and its 11th anniversary as a globally recognized brand in digital full CAD/CAM solutions. With a united on-site team and a thoughtfully designed booth, UP3D showcased two complete digital workflows that sparked consistent buzz throughout the five-day event—the Soreal Chairside System and the UP3D Lab Solution.
Two Workflows. One Vision. Real Impact.
Soreal Chairside System – Same-Day Dentistry, Smarter Than Ever
For clinics seeking speed without compromise, the Soreal Chairside System delivers an intuitive, fully integrated workflow—scanning, AI-driven design, milling, and finalization—all in one seamless experience.
What stood out to clinicians on-site:
-
One-click crown design powered by AI, producing ready-to-mill designs in as little as 30 seconds
-
Compressor-free, plug-and-play milling, reducing setup complexity and noise
-
Support for multiple materials like zirconia, glass ceramics, and composite resin
-
Same-day restoration in under 40 minutes, enhancing patient satisfaction and clinic throughput
A key highlight in this workflow was the UP610 intraoral scanner, which received strong praise for its lightweight 190g design, 30mm ultra-deep scan, and 29-second single-arch scan speed. Clinicians repeatedly pointed out how natural it felt to use, both for the operator and the patient.
UP3D Lab Solution – Full Automation for Labs of Every Size
UP3D’s Lab Solution reflects what many labs are striving toward: better integration, smarter automation, and reduced manual workloads. This solution connects the full digital chain—from scan to mill—all developed in-house to ensure compatibility and control.
Key technologies driving lab conversations:
-
UP560HD Lab Scanner
Featuring 4μm precision, dual 5MP HD cameras, and 10-second single-arch scan times, this scanner kicked off workflows with crystal-clear data and rapid performance.
Automatic margin detection and full crown design in as little as 30 seconds. Free up technicians to focus on implants, full-arch restorations, and aesthetic cases.
-
UPCAM 2025 + Smart CAM
Visitors were particularly impressed by the 30-second toolpath generation and 6-minute full-disc nesting.
With Smart CAM, the system automatically analyzes each case, selects the most suitable disc based on shade, thickness, and material type, then generates optimal pin placement—all without technician input. This not only minimizes material waste but also significantly reduces human error.
-
Flexible Milling Options
P55D: A compact, air-free milling unit, ideal for mid-sized labs (10–20 cases/day) seeking digital upgrades with minimal infrastructure.
P53DC: High-throughput production with a 12-disc automatic changer, 24/7 unattended milling, and smart material switching for labs processing up to 100 cases/day.
Visitors—especially lab owners—were quick to recognize how this complete ecosystem could eliminate inefficiencies that stem from using disconnected systems and third-party platforms.
Hands-On Experience, Real Reactions
Throughout the show, UP3D’s booth at Hall 11.2, L070 was constantly in motion. Whether it was AI CAD designing in front of your eyes, Smart CAM auto-selecting material and nesting a full case in minutes, or UP610 gliding through scans, the live demos told a clear story: efficiency doesn’t have to be complicated.
Technicians commented on how “unexpectedly easy” it was to get great results, while dentists appreciated how each step—whether in the lab or the clinic—fit together naturally, with no clunky data transfers or complicated learning curves.
Smiles, Photos, and Shared Moments
More than just machines, UP3D’s presence was about people. A custom photo wall and interactive KT boards brought a playful, personal energy to the booth.
Hundreds of visitors—customers, partners, friends—posed for photos with the UP3D team and their favorite products. The photos were more than keepsakes—they were conversations, connections, and smiles that will carry far beyond Cologne.
Many walked away with exclusive UP3D gift packs, but more importantly, with a renewed sense of what a truly integrated digital dental experience can look like.
Driving Innovation Forward – Together
UP3D’s presence at IDS 2025 reaffirmed the brand’s long-standing vision: to make digital dentistry more intelligent, more intuitive, and more accessible. As a company that builds its own hardware and software from the ground up, UP3D is uniquely positioned to lead with flexibility and speed.
The company continues to invest in AI-driven design, smart automation, and global support infrastructure to empower its growing base of partners—labs, clinics, and distributors alike.
With trusted distributors in over 120+ countries and an expanding presence in dental education, UP3D is committed to delivering real-world impact—not just innovation for innovation’s sake.
Looking Ahead
As IDS 2025 wraps up, the energy doesn’t stop. UP3D is already preparing for the next chapter—more launches, deeper collaborations, and continued support for digital transformation across the dental world.
