## 3Shape Reviews
  ### 1. 3Shape has innovative tools, but lacks full-control and the perks of an open system

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2021

**What do you like best about 3Shape?**

Automatic symmetrical design, innovative tools, beautiful, simple, and clutter-free UI, a simple workflow. I love the automatic medial/distal contact feature.

**What do you dislike about 3Shape?**

The lack of control when morphing/free designing, the lack of a 'cut contact' feature, or a way to make the contacts flush without having to adjust every other tooth on the arch. There are also many many bugs.

**Recommendations to others considering 3Shape:**

I recommend using 3shape if you want an on-rails, simple, and fast way to pump out designs for large dental cases, like a full mouth restoration. If you want more control, to upload custom tooth libraries, or to have a more open system designing dental prosthetics, then I would consider a different software such as ExoCad.

**What problems is 3Shape solving and how is that benefiting you?**

3shape is really beneficial for designing full-mouth restorations, and keeping the process simple. The benefits are that it takes a fraction of the time to complete large restorations when compared to other dental design software.
