What actually determines your iLux Pro price
Direct-print aligner cost isn't one number on a rate card — it's built from four layers: hardware, software, materials, and service. Here's exactly what sets your price, how it compares to outsourced aligner production, and how to get a real quote.
Why there's no price table on this page
The iLux Pro is capital equipment, sold and financed like an in-house production line, not a subscription. The honest number depends on your build platform, bundled hardware, case volume, and region — so LuxCreo prices it per practice rather than publishing a single list price that would be wrong for most buyers.
The cost stack
Every direct-print aligner quote is built the same way a print job is built: layer by layer. Each layer below is a real, separately-scoped line item in a LuxCreo quote.
Printer Hardware
The iLux Pro Dental system: build platform and LEAP™ tank (standard, digital-polishing LEAP-C+, or ultra-fast LEAP-X). The largest single line item, and the one most affected by financing.
Wash & Cure
iLuxWash Dental and iLuxCure Pro. Sometimes bundled into a system quote, sometimes priced as add-ons if compatible equipment already exists.
Workflow Stack
LuxFlow Pro, LuxDesign, LuxLink, LuxCloud Dental. Terms vary by whether you run one printer or a multi-unit lab/DSO fleet.
Materials & Service
Per-unit resin cost and support/maintenance — the recurring spend that scales with how much you actually print.
Hardware and post-processing are typically one-time or financed. Software and materials are ongoing. A quote separates the two so you can see payback, not just sticker price.
What moves your number
Build platform & tank
Standard vs. LEAP-C+ vs. LEAP-X changes both hardware cost and throughput.
Case volume
A single-chair practice, a DSO, and a production lab amortize the same hardware very differently — the biggest lever on cost-per-aligner.
Post-processing bundle
Whether iLuxWash and iLuxCure Pro are purchased new or already in place.
Financing vs. cash
The Navitas-powered LuxCreo Finance Program changes monthly cash flow, not the underlying price.

In-house direct printing vs. outsourcing
- Per-case lab fee, every case, indefinitely
- Model print + thermoform + trim labor, per unit
- Shipping time built into every turnaround
- Cost scales linearly with volume, no ceiling
- No capital outlay, but no equity in equipment either
- Fixed hardware cost (or financed payment), amortized over volume
- Model and thermoform step removed entirely
- Same-day, chairside production — no shipping wait
- Cost-per-case falls as volume rises against the same fixed base
- Requires upfront or financed investment before payback begins
Financing is available — you don't need the full amount upfront
For US customers, the LuxCreo Finance Program, powered by Navitas Credit Corp, offers monthly payment plans built around your practice's budget, so you can bring aligner production in-house without a large cash outlay on day one.
Cost questions, answered directly
How much does the iLux Pro Dental 3D printer cost?
There's no single published list price. Total cost depends on the build platform and tank you choose, which post-processing and software modules are bundled in, your order volume, and region. LuxCreo quotes each configuration individually and offers Navitas-backed financing for US customers.
What is the cost per direct-printed aligner compared to traditional thermoformed aligners?
Traditional production pays for a model print, thermoforming, trim labor, and usually an outside lab fee plus shipping time on every case. Direct printing removes the model and thermoform step and replaces those recurring fees with hardware amortization, software, and per-unit resin cost. The actual per-case number depends on case complexity, aligners per case, and volume — which is why it's quoted, not published as one figure.
Does LuxCreo offer financing?
Yes. The LuxCreo Finance Program, powered by Navitas Credit Corp, offers monthly payment plans for US customers so equipment can be acquired while preserving cash flow.
What's included in an iLux Pro quote?
Four layers: printer hardware and build platform, post-processing hardware (iLuxWash Dental, iLuxCure Pro), the software stack (LuxFlow Pro, LuxDesign, LuxLink, LuxCloud Dental), and ongoing materials and service. Which are bundled versus itemized depends on your configuration.
Is in-house production actually cheaper than outsourcing?
It shifts spend from a recurring per-case lab fee to a capital or financed purchase plus resin cost. Higher-volume practices typically reach payback faster because the fixed hardware cost spreads across more units. LuxCreo builds a volume-based comparison per practice rather than quoting a universal savings percentage.
