The i700 is well-regarded for combining premium accuracy with open-architecture software compatibility at a more accessible price point than 3Shape TRIOS or iTero. What practices often underestimate before purchase is the workstation requirement: the i700 is a high-performance device whose real-time scan processing requires hardware that exceeds standard dental workstation specifications.
Ekim IT Solutions is the dental-exclusive IT provider that configures intraoral scanner workstation environments for dental practices across Maine, New England, Tampa Bay, and nationally, and the Medit i700 is one of the most frequently deployed intraoral scanners we encounter at practices entering digital dentistry in 2026.
Medit explicitly recommends dedicating a PC exclusively to the i700 scanner, stating that other programs running in the background may affect the overall performance of the scanner.
Medit i700 Workstation Requirements
The Medit i700 requires an Intel Core i5-12500H processor or higher. The GPU requirement is an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or higher with a minimum of 6GB VRAM. RAM requirement is 16GB minimum, with 32GB recommended for some configurations. The supported operating systems are Windows 10 64-bit and Windows 11. The i700 connects via USB 3.0 using the cable provided by Medit, and Medit states the device may not work with cables other than the one supplied. USB-C port compatibility requires confirmation that the port supports the required power delivery specifications.
These specifications are significantly higher than standard dental workstation requirements. A typical Dentrix or Eaglesoft workstation with an integrated GPU and 8GB RAM will not run the i700 correctly. Ekim IT Solutions specifies i700 workstations against Medit’s current requirements before any hardware is purchased, not after the scanner arrives.
USB Configuration for Medit i700
USB configuration is one of the most common i700 setup failure points. Check off each step confirmed.
Only the Medit-provided USB 3.0 cable used, confirmed not to be a generic or visually identical substitute
USB-C port Power Delivery support confirmed before connecting, if using a USB-C connection
USB recognition tested in Windows Device Manager, with no driver errors, before installing Medit Scan software
Medit Link and Network Requirements
The Medit i700 uses Medit Link as its cloud platform for scan data storage and case management. Medit recommends a minimum stable network connection of 10 Mbps both upload and download for the Medit Link application. Practices with asymmetric internet connections common in some Maine and rural Florida locations, where download speed is acceptable but upload speed is below 10 Mbps, will experience slow scan upload times and potential sync failures. Ekim IT Solutions assesses internet connectivity before i700 deployment and recommends connection upgrades where upload speeds are inadequate for reliable Medit Link performance.
