🔎 Overview
The Dentsply Sirona CEREC inEos X5 is a premium extraoral scanner developed for high-performance digital dentistry and laboratory use. Designed with maximum precision, automation, and open-system flexibility, the inEos X5 enables efficient and reliable acquisition of complex dental impressions, including single dies, full arches, implant situations, and edentulous models.
With its five-axis scanning arm, ultra-fast image capture, and industry-leading accuracy, this scanner provides dental professionals and lab technicians with a rock-solid foundation for CAD/CAM workflows—whether you’re designing crowns, bridges, dentures, or implant abutments.
📖 In-Depth Description
The CEREC inEos X5 is built for performance and scalability. Engineered by Dentsply Sirona to address the needs of modern dental labs and digitally-forward clinics, it combines aesthetic flexibility, open software compatibility, and unmatched scanning intelligence. It is not just a scanner—it is a central hub for capturing, visualizing, and preparing dental data.
🎯 Automated Precision
Thanks to its multi-axis scanning arm and high-resolution 3D camera, the inEos X5 delivers micron-level accuracy. It automatically detects the positioning of models, adjusts scanning angles for undercuts, and fills in occlusal and interproximal data with little to no operator intervention.
🌟 Key Highlights
- Open architecture compatible with STL and PLY formats
- Five-axis scanning technology for unmatched precision and reach
- Automatic object recognition and positioning
- Full-arch scans in less than 60 seconds
- Auto-calibration and maintenance-friendly design
- High-resolution color scanning for detailed margin capture
- Perfectly integrates with inLab CAD and CAM software

⚙️ Smart Workflow
The scanner integrates natively with inLab CAD software and easily exports data to third-party systems. This enables labs and dentists to use the captured data across a wide variety of CAM processes, including:
- Milling (e.g., with CEREC MC X5 or Primemill)
- 3D Printing (e.g., AccuFab series)
- Sintering workflows (e.g., inLab Profire or SpeedFire)
- Outsourced production (via STL/Ply files)
🧪 Scanable Material Types
The inEos X5 is optimized for:
- Gypsum models
- Silicone impressions
- Triple-tray impressions
- Articulated models
- Full dentures and edentulous jaws
- Wax-ups
- Implant models with scan bodies
- Single and multiple dies
Whether you’re dealing with delicate ceramics or rugged cast models, the scanner adapts automatically for light reflection, shadow compensation, and die segmentation.
