Eighteeth Helios 500 3D Intraoral Scanner

The Eighteeth Helios 500 3D Intraoral Scanner is a chairside digital impression scanner that captures full-arch 3D models of teeth, gums, and bite registration over a single USB 3.0 connection. This listing is for the scanner-only version, sold without a bundled laptop, which is the cost-efficient option for clinics that already have a workstation-grade PC running Windows.

The handpiece weighs only 185 g, which keeps single-hand scanning comfortable across long appointments and multi-quadrant cases. Full-arch accuracy is rated at approximately 20 µm, with single-tooth accuracy below 10 µm, and a full-arch scan completes in under 30 seconds. On-device AI filters out soft tissue and minor patient movement during capture, which cuts down the cleanup work between scan and case export.

The Helios 500 uses automatic adaptive calibration, so the daily routine does not include a manual calibration step. Setup is plug-and-scan over the detachable USB 3.0 cable, with no bulky power box on the desk. Scans export in open STL, PLY, and OBJ formats, so the case file plugs into common CAD/CAM and dental lab software without proprietary conversion. An integrated attitude sensor on the handpiece supports intuitive gesture control while you work through the arch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Eighteeth Helios 500 standalone include a laptop?

No, this listing is for the Eighteeth Helios 500 3D intraoral scanner only and does not include a laptop. Clinics that already run a workstation-grade Windows PC can use this scanner-only option to keep the upfront cost lower. The scanner-plus-laptop bundle is available as a separate listing for clinics that need a pre-configured workstation.

What file formats does the Helios 500 export?

The Helios 500 exports scans in open STL, PLY, and OBJ formats. These open formats work with most CAD/CAM systems and dental lab workflows, so cases can be sent to in-house mills, third-party labs, or aligner providers without proprietary file conversion. This also keeps the scanner future-proof against future software changes.

How accurate is the Helios 500 intraoral scanner?

The Helios 500 captures full-arch scans at approximately 20 µm accuracy and single-tooth scans below 10 µm. A complete full-arch scan finishes in under 30 seconds, which is suitable for routine restorative, implant, orthodontic, and aligner workflows in general practice. The 185 g handpiece keeps single-hand scanning comfortable.

Is calibration needed before using the Helios 500?

No, the Helios 500 uses automatic adaptive calibration, so the chairside routine does not include a separate calibration step. Setup is plug-and-scan over a detachable USB 3.0 cable with no external power box, which means the scanner is ready to capture impressions within minutes of unboxing on a compatible PC.
