The extraoral scanner inEos X5 wins the renowned international Red Dot Product Design 2014 Award for its outstanding design. In doing so, the all-rounder from Sirona prevailed against a strong international field.
Bensheim/Salzburg – Professor Dr. Peter Zec, the initiator of the Red Dot Award and Director of the Design Museum in Essen, stressed that “given the high quality of the submissions, it was not easy for the experts on the jury to reach a decision. Only the very best products were presented with the coveted award for design excellence.” Following a comprehensive assessment procedure, which lasted several days, the 40-strong jury concluded that the inEos X5 was among the best products. The scanner not only impressed due to its extensive technical features but also because of its unique design.
The competition is known and respected around the world and, today, is one of the largest competitions for prototypes and design concepts.
