Key Benefits

Simplify clear aligner manufacturing using LuxCreo's Solutions.

  1. Print in batches: Vertically printing stacked models and other dental products using DLP systems which provide a higher throughput.
  2. Minimal post-processing: 3D printing clear aligners directly streamlines production as the model directly prints from a digital model then washed and cured.
  3. Faster treatment planning: A batch can print in approximately one hour with a 3D printing process like clear printing enabled DLP systems.
  4. Reduce labor costs: With fewer steps and less manual overhead, DLP 3D printing clear aligners directly reduces labor costs for making highly accurate dental models.
