3D scanning and CAD/CAM software for dental and hearing-aid professionals
3Shape manufactures 3D scanners and designs CAD/CAM software serving dentists, labs, and hearing-aid makers across 17+ countries. The tech stack reveals a hybrid architecture: Python/PySpark/Databricks for data pipelines, Azure/.NET/C# for cloud services, and a dedicated TRIOS scanner software layer. Active migration to Dynamics 365 (ERP/CRM) signals a push to unify fragmented IT infrastructure—a pain point explicitly flagged in their hiring mix, where support roles (63 headcount) dominate engineering (40), reflecting the operational friction of managing scanners and software across global manufacturing and clinical sites.
