iLux Pro Dental 3D Printer, iLuxCure Pro, UV Cure Box, Direct Aligner Material (DCA), LuxAlign Design Software, and LuxScale – An Offsite Aligner Production Service – Unveiled at AAO
BELMONT (California), April 20, 2023LuxCreo announced today that it has developed a solution to allow orthodontists/dentists to create same-day aligners without the need for traditional thermoforming and model stages. This method allows orthodontists to produce aligners in just 2 hours after an oral scan, with significant labor and capex savings over in-house thermoforming.

After 5 years of collaboration, we’re excited to announce our integrated suite of digital fabrication tools for direct aligners. said LuxCreo CEO Mike Yang. LuxCreo’s direct-print aligners are more accurate than thermoformed options, which may result in better fit for the patient. In addition, our multi-thickness patent technology allows customized teeth movements tailored for each patient’s individual treatment needs.
Fortune Business Insights projected that by January 2023, the clear aligner market would explode from $4.1 Billion in 2022 to $16.1 Billion in 2029. Despite this growth, LuxCreo estimates that 5-10% of aligner treatments are canceled by patients due to lengthy initial aligner lead times—up to 6 weeks. LuxAlign’s platform is designed to address these issues. Patients can try on their initial aligners within 2 hours of intraoral scanning in the dentist’s office.
LuxCreo launches a series of products to provide same-day clear aligners. The suite includes hardware, software, materials and services.
-
iLux Pro Dental: A high throughput, small footprint, heated, chairside DLP printer with 50-micron pixel resolution powered by LEAP™ technology. In an 8-hour period, a single iLux Pro Dental can print up to 175 horizontal models or 64 direct aligners.
-
LuxAlign® design software: Automatically generate aligner retentioner designs, adding trimlines, repairing tooth gaps, and varying aligner thickness to enhance aligner efficacy.
-
iLuxCure Pro: This high-irradiance, multiwavelength, multidirection post-print cure is programmable and can cure six to eight aligners in 30 minutes.
-
Direct Clear Aligner (DCA) Material: DCA is a tough, flexible, and accurate clear aligner material with high transparency without manual polishing, enabled by LuxCreo’s Digital Polishing™ technology. DCA is FDA Class II (510(k)-cleared for aligner use.
-
LuxScale: Dentists can modify or order the rest of their aligner treatment plans from a LuxCreo intelligent factory after patients have approved and received their initial aligners.
“The iLux Pro Dental software and LuxAlign have been a game changer in my practice. It has eliminated the need for me to print models, cut them out and thermoform the aligners. LuxAlign saved my practice between 60-75% on labor costs and reduced waiting times for patients. Dr. Mike Pham is the CEO of Affordable Dental.
The iLux Pro Dental and iLuxCure Pro 3D printers are now available for purchase and will be shipped next month.
LuxCreo is also actively looking for participants to help validate the effectiveness of its multi-thickness alignment technology. Visit the LuxCreo Booth #695 in Chicago, April 21-24. Or visit www.luxcreo.com for more information.
