Why DCA Why Direct Print?
Better Outcome, Less/No Attachment, and Expanded Indications are powered by our revolutionary ActiveMemory™ Polymer.
Complete Shape Recovery
Instantaneous recovery of geometry with heat excitation
☑ Full Geometric Recovery
- Instantaneous and complete restoration to
original shape - Repeatable recovery from material creeping
☑ Thermal Excitation Mechanism
- Triggered by heat stimulus ≥60℃
- Recovery speed increases with temperature:
100℃: Full recovery within 60 seconds
Complete Force Restoration
Rejuvenated as if new for a more predictable outcome
Force Retention
- Full correction force restoration upon geometric recovery
- Continuous force rejuvenation post-recovery
Cyclic Stability
- No degradation in mechanical properties during
shape memory cycling
Thermo-Mechanical Properties
Consistent performance at intraoral or elevated temperatures.

Easy Workflow
No spinning, no nitrogen needed. Experience a simplified, efficient process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main components of the material, and is it recyclable?
The DCA material is multi-component based on our proprietary technology. Properties are similar to TPU. Though it is not
recyclable, it cuts 90% of the non-recyclable waste compared to a thermoforming process.
How much material is consumed to print one aligner?
6-7g for a single aligner, so one bottle for 100-120 aligners (2 patients).
Can I purchase your DCA resin to be printed on my printer, e.g. Formlabs?
No, DCA resin workflow is closed solution system. The full workflow needs to comply to registration to ensure safety and
efficacy.
