uLab® Partners with Voxel and LuxCreo to Advance Direct Print Aligners

uLab® Partners with Voxel and LuxCreo for Game-Changing Collaboration

In a significant move for the orthodontic industry, uLab Systems® has announced a strategic partnership with two other industry leaders, Voxel Dental and LuxCreo, Inc. This collaboration aims to radically improve the landscape of direct print aligner technology, making strides towards more efficient and effective workflow solutions for orthodontists. With these three powerhouses joining forces, the future of in-office manufacturing capabilities looks promising.

Transforming Orthodontic Practices

The introduction of direct print aligners could streamline the workflows for many orthodontists, enabling them to produce aligners more swiftly and with precision. The collaboration comes at a time when the need for innovative solutions in orthodontic treatment has never been more pressing. All three companies involved share a unified vision of leveraging technology to enhance the efficiency of orthodontic practices.

Charlie Wen, the Co-founder and President of uLab Systems noted, "We could not be happier to team up with Voxel and LuxCreo. This collaboration will enable us to deliver needed advancements in direct print technology workflow, ultimately benefiting our customers and their patients with fast, precise, and cost-effective solutions."

Mark Bacino, Vice President of Orthodontic Solutions at Voxel, expressed his excitement as well: “We’re thrilled about the future of direct print aligners with the LuxCreo system. Previously, we were concerned about the lengthy digital workflow, but now, with the integration of uLab's uDesign platform and LuxCreo FastTrack AI, setting up direct print cases is much easier. The reduction in labor time is invaluable, eliminating the need for physically blocking out, thermoforming, cutting, and trimming in-office aligners.”

Enhancing Digital Dentistry

The partnership not only promises improved workflows but also underscores a commitment to enhancing patient care. As Mike Yang, the CEO of LuxCreo, stated, “We are excited to partner with Voxel and uLab, uniting our shared commitment to enhance patient care through disruptive solutions.” The trio aims to drive innovation in digital dentistry, providing doctors with the tools necessary to create high-quality, custom care while also improving operational efficiency.

uLab Systems has long been recognized for its leadership in digital aligner treatment planning software, particularly with its uDesign platform, which has augmented the capabilities of orthodontic professionals since its launch in 2019. The recent incorporation of direct print capabilities into this software marks a pivotal transition in aligning digital dental technology with clinical practices.

As LuxCreo works closely with uLab on these integrations, doctors are expected to enjoy streamlined processes that save valuable time and resources. This synergy of technology aligns perfectly with the growing demand for more responsive, tailored orthodontic solutions that cater to individual patient needs.

To dive deeper into these innovations, uLab Systems has scheduled several events showcasing hands-on experiences with 3D printed aligners. These events, titled "Hands-On with 3D Printed Aligners From Treatment Planning to Finished Aligner," will occur on January 31st, February 28th, and March 21st at LuxCreo’s headquarters in Chicago, IL.
