Shanghai, China, August 16, 2023 — ams OSRAM, a global leader in optical solutions, (SIX: AMS) and Shining 3D, a global leading scientific and technological innovation enterprise in the field of 3D vision, announced that the latest Aoralscan 3i intraoral scanner by Shining 3D adopts the ams OSRAM OSLON®P1616 series  miniature high-power infrared LED, providing high-efficiency, low-energy consumption, and high-reliability lighting for intelligent intraoral scanning. The SFH 4170S infrared LED is compact and easy to integrate, and ideally suited to the application needs of customers within confined spaces.

The latest Aoralscan 3i intraoral scanner by Shining 3D is ergonomically designed. It is light and compact, weighing only about 240g, and can be grasped with one hand at any angle within 360°, delivering a light, compact, intelligent, and fast experience to dentists and oral users. Oral users can obtain accurate and true-color digital impressions of patients in real time, to realize a more accessible and smooth digital diagnosis and treatment mode with coordinated equipment and systems, uninterrupted communication and seamless cooperation, and comprehensively improves the work and treatment experience of dentists, technicians, and patients.

Aoralscan 3i intraoral scanner is ergonomically designed, light weighted(only about 240 grams), and can be grasped with one hand at any angle. Aoralscan 3i intraoral scanner enables dentists to efficiently collect reliable intraoral 3D digital images and utilizes near-infrared imaging technology to achieve non-radiative detection of proximal caries. Combining with Shining 3D self-developed software such as oral health examination reports to assist doctors and dental clinics in delivering professional oral health management services for patients, thus, improving the work efficiency of medical technicians. Meanwhile, raising the awareness of oral health care.

The ams OSRAM SFH 4170S infrared LED makes the compact design of the intraoral scanner possible. This infrared LED adopts a 1.6 x 1.6mm ultra-small high-quality ceramic package, greatly conserving on the space of the scanning equipment. Thanks to infrared thin film chip and chip stacking technology, the infrared LED has high power and efficiency, with a typical radiation flux of 1,150 mW. A single LED can meet the requirements for the miniature infrared lighting. Meanwhile, this LED has also achieved low energy consumption and good heat dissipation, which effectively reduces the pressure on the heat dissipation design of the integrated circuits.

The SFH 4170S belongs to the OSLON@ P1616 series of infrared LEDs, which also includes the 850nm SFH 4171S, 940nm SFH 4180S, SFH 4181S, rectangular spot SFH 41747S and other products. They are all characterized by high power, high efficiency, and high reliability for a range of different application scenarios, providing customers with a variety of excellent choices when it comes to the light source.The SFH 4170S belongs to the OSLON@ P1616 series of infrared LEDs, which also includes the 850nm SFH 4171S, 940nm SFH 4180S, SFH 4181S, rectangular spot SFH 41747S and other products. They are all characterized by high power, high efficiency, and high reliability for a range of different application scenarios, providing customers with a variety of excellent choices when it comes to the light source.

"These newest members of the P1616 series have generated a very high output for optical power from such a small package," said Monica Xiong, Business Line Infrared Marketing Manager at ams OSRAM, "The excellent performance and size ratio of these LEDs can provide customers with more flexible user options and more efficient energy-saving, which can set their minds at ease when it comes to lighting."

Shining 3D Intraoral Scanner Product Manager Mark commented: "Intraoral scanners have very high requirements for lighting, which not only require a compact size, but also achieve high-quality lighting effects. For this reason, we have adopted the efficient and reliable LED light source from ams OSRAM. Since the scanner equipment is becoming increasingly more intelligent and portable, the miniature high-power light source from ams OSRAM is an ideal choice. “

The Aoralscan 3i, a new intraoral scanner by Shining 3D, adopts the ams OSRAM SFH 4170S infrared LED, which is highly compact 4170S infrared LED, which is highly compact.
