Using 3D simulation to grow the International Clinic Solutions’ business
When considering a new building or department, clinics often face major challenges in planning their new facilities. In many cases the constraints of the existing building architecture need to be balanced against the requirements for training and research of the individual clinic. These challenges present an opportunity for Dentsply Sirona to act as a consultant and partner to its customers beyond the role of equipment manufacturer and provider.
Far-sighted, comprehensive planning forms the basis for a successful construction project. Every detail has to be painstakingly thought out and every step in the workflow meticulously coordinated to guarantee the highest possible levels of quality, safety, and efficiency. In dental facilities, this primarily affects the clinic’s layout, technical infrastructure, infection control and IT infrastructure.
3D planning helps clinics to better visualize their own needs.
Helping customers visualize their future needs
In order to meet a clinic’s specific requirements, a realistic visualization of the concept in advance is often of crucial importance. This is an area in which Dentsply Sirona can be of tremendous assistance. The experts at the Company’s International Special Clinic Solutions (ISCS) unit has a design team specialized in both precise two-dimensional floor plans and 3D simulation.
The more detailed the design of the future project, the more precise communication with the customer can be and the more fully the practical implementation of the project can be. Classic two-dimensional floor plans continue to be the indispensable basis for precise planning, for both architects and building technicians. However, actual users often find it difficult to imagine their daily working environment and work processes based on only these black lines on white paper.
With this advanced planning approach, the two-dimensional clinic concept comes to life in a three-dimensional simulation. This allows customers to experience day-to-day work and the full potential of new buildings even before construction starts.
3D animation of the floor plan helps spark customers’ imaginations: In the interactive floor plan, the customer is guided through all the rooms and levels of the new clinic complex, both from a first-person perspective and from a bird’s-eye view. The animation shows not only detailed dental, medical, and technical equipment in addition to standard clinical equipment, but also people on the go.
