Notice regarding specification changes to some products due to the semiconductor shortage

Hamamatsu, Japan, March 31, 2022Thank you for your continued success and support of DGSHAPE products.  Over the past 2 years, the spread of COVID-19 and its variants have impacted businesses worldwide, from delayed shipments to continued backorders. Today, DGSHAPE Corporation is facing a new challenge as we attempt to procure semiconductors and various parts for our dental and 3D line of products. Though we are seeking alternatives and planning around these new challenges, it may take some time to resolve them during the current pandemicIn this report, we will cover the effect of this new challenge on the following DGSHAPE models that are experiencing production delays.  

  • DWX-42W 
  • DE-3  

  In response to the challenge of procuring network compatible motherboards for these two products, we will continue producing each model using motherboards from the previous versions. Unfortunately, these motherboards do not support LAN network connectivity, but it will still be possible to connect the device to the network via USB to PC. Other device features and functions will remain the same and  we will continue to provide products with the same quality. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your continued success with DGSHAPE products during these challenging times.
