7 minMSoft is TechMed 3D’s software for 3D scanning of the human body. Its capabilities will enable you to easily and quickly obtain ready-to-use data especially to modify, carve, 3D print, design and fit.
New features were also lately added and presented during our participation in OTWorld’s first virtual World Congress. You can get the full details on all product features we’ve launched here and watch our exclusive workshop. Among other features, you can now obtain colored scans and split a cast with a newly added mode in MSoft. These new features as well as many other capabilities are available in MSoft version 3.0 or higher.
As you know, we are committed to working continuously to develop some unique and distinctive features to facilitate your day-to-day operations. This is why we will be concentrating our efforts, including updates and support only on the latest versions of MSoft 3.0 or higher starting January 15, 2021. This means that MSoft 2.0 will not be supported nor updated starting in the New Year. That being said, it’s now time for you to switch to the latest version! You won’t be disappointed since MSoft version 3.0 or higher will expand your possibilities with its numerous features.
