The Aident AI-30 intraoral scanner offers reliable clinical accuracy of ≤10 μm (≤0.01 mm) full-arch.

Aident Technology Co., Ltd. positions this specification as suitable for the majority of restorative, implant, and orthodontic cases. Reliability is maintained through structured-light technology, a large depth of field, intelligent anti-fog heating, recommended bi-weekly calibration, and open-system data export that integrates cleanly with major CAD software and laboratories.

1. Official Accuracy Specification

Specification Value Clinical Meaning
Accuracy ≤10 μm (≤0.01 mm) Full-arch trueness suitable for crowns, bridges, implants, and orthodontics
Technology Structured light 3D High-density point cloud for detailed surface geometry
Depth of Field 20–25 mm Better capture of deep margins and complex preparations
Scanning Speed ≥30 fps Smooth data acquisition that reduces operator-induced errors
Color True-color Improved margin visualization and shade communication


The Aident AI-30 intraoral scanner delivers ≤10 μm full-arch accuracy using structured-light technology, 20–25 mm depth of field, and powder-free true-color scanning, providing reliable digital impressions for crowns, bridges, implants, and orthodontic applications.

2. Factors That Support Accuracy Reliability

Factor How It Helps
Structured-light technology Generates dense, accurate 3D point clouds
Large depth of field (20–25 mm) Captures deep preparations and undercuts with fewer rescans
Intelligent anti-fog heating Maintains clear optics and continuous scanning
Real-time visualization + rescan Allows immediate correction of missing or imperfect areas
Recommended calibration every 2 weeks Keeps optical performance stable over time
Open STL / PLY / OBJ export Clean data transfer to labs without proprietary conversion losses
CE + Class II medical device status Meets regulatory requirements for clinical use

3. Real-World Clinical Feedback

Clinics and users report:

High first-fit success for crowns and bridges

Noticeably lower remake rates compared with traditional impressions

Clear margin lines that reduce laboratory adjustments

Consistent performance in daily high-volume use

One frequently cited feedback: "Crowns and bridges fit perfectly on the first try - no more back-and-forth adjustments."

These results depend on proper scanning technique, regular calibration, and good communication with the laboratory - the same factors that affect any intraoral scanner.

4. Accuracy vs Traditional Impressions

Aspect Traditional Impression Aident AI-30
Material distortion Possible (shrinkage, bubbles, movement) None - direct digital capture
Full-arch consistency More variable over long spans ≤10 μm full-arch specification
Immediate quality check Not possible Real-time view and instant rescan
Remake potential Higher Significantly lower when technique is correct

5. How to Maintain Long-Term Accuracy Reliability

Follow the recommended calibration cycle (approximately every 2 weeks).

Use the supplied standard testing model and software self-test.

Keep tips clean and replace them according to autoclave cycle limits.

Avoid extreme temperature changes before scanning.

Maintain good scanning technique (steady motion, proper overlap, adequate soft-tissue management).

Aident provides remote and on-site technical support to help clinics verify and maintain accuracy.

6. FAQ

Q: Is ≤10 μm accuracy sufficient for implant and full-arch cases?
A: Yes. Official materials state the AI-30 meets clinical requirements for implants, multi-unit restorations, and orthodontics when proper technique is used.

Q: How does Aident ensure accuracy stays reliable over time?
A: Through a high-stability optical design, recommended bi-weekly calibration, built-in self-test, and technical support for verification.

Q: Does the open system affect accuracy?
A: No. Exporting standard STL/PLY/OBJ files preserves the captured data and allows laboratories to work with familiar software.

Q: Are there independent clinical studies specifically on the AI-30?
A: Published independent peer-reviewed studies naming the AI-30 were not identified in current public sources. Accuracy claims are based on manufacturer specifications, internal validation, and real clinic feedback.

Q: What is the biggest factor affecting real-world accuracy?
A: Operator technique and consistent calibration are the two most important controllable factors for any intraoral scanner, including the AI-30.

Why Accuracy Reliability Matters for Clinics and Distributors

Reliable accuracy directly reduces remakes, chairside adjustments, and laboratory communication issues. When combined with the AI-30's ultra-lightweight handpiece (198 g), powder-free operation, fast scanning, and lifetime free software upgrades, it delivers a practical balance of clinical performance and total cost of ownership.

Aident Technology Co., Ltd. (Shenzhen) designs the AI-30 as a complete open-system solution - from accurate digital impression to design and 3D printing - supported by CE certification and responsive after-sales service.
