Description
The Runyes 3DS 3.0 by the company Runyes Medical is one of the latest intraoral scanners released on the market. It is the successor to the Runyes 3DS scanner I reviewed back in 2020 and is a huge improvement over that IOS.
The Runyes 3DS completely improves almost every aspect of its predecessor. It is yet another low-cost, entry-level Chinese scanner. Chinese scanners have well and truly caught up in terms of scanning speed and fundamental scanning hardware, with this scanner being one of the fastest Chinese scanners we have tested.
So what are the downsides? I have been testing this scanner for several months. Scanning everything from single crowns, to full arches and implant restorations.
The team at iDD were fortunate to receive the first Runyes 3DS 3.0 scanner in ANZ. The following review goes over our experiences and how this scanner compares to all others on the market.
Background
The Runyes 3DS 3.0 intraoral scanner is made by the Ningbo Runyes Medical Instrument company (founded in 2000). This company is based in China and operates in more than 30 Chinese cities while also having offices in USA, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The scanner itself was officially released in 2022. Since then, it has seen multiple software updates and optimizations.
This scanner is one of the most affordable scanners in the world at a RRP of 9,500 USD. It is quite incredible how low the price of scanners has gotten over the years. This scanner does not have any CAD software or software apps. It is only used to scan and export which can then be imported into 3rd party CAD design software like exocad.
There has been a plethora of low-cost intraoral scanners bursting onto the market in recent years – many of these coming from China. Over six different intraoral scanners are made in the country, the most popular brands being: Runyes, Fussen, Panda, Shining 3D, Alliedstar and Launca.
So how does the Runyes 3DS 3.0 scanner compare to other scanners dominating the low-cost scanner space?
