LuxCreo, an innovator in personalized medical and dental device technologies, has received a strategic investment from Angelalign Technology, one of the world’s leading providers of clear aligner solutions.
The partnership marks a significant milestone in the evolution of digital orthodontics, as the two companies join forces to co-develop next-generation high-performance 3D printing materials designed for clear aligner therapy.
The collaboration aims to accelerate innovation in direct 3D printing for orthodontic applications, driving faster clinical adoption and enabling a new generation of digital dentistry workflows that combine speed, precision, and patient comfort. The partnership between LuxCreo and Angelalign will focus on material development, advanced treatment design, and large-scale clinical integration, laying the foundation for a next-generation digital dentistry ecosystem.
As digital transformation continues to reshape the dental industry, direct 3D printing has emerged as one of the most disruptive technological shifts in orthodontics.
By eliminating multiple manufacturing steps and reducing manual intervention, 3D printing dramatically shortens production cycles for aligners while improving consistency and scalability. The partnership between LuxCreo and Angelalign will build on these advantages by enhancing the precision, durability, and biocompatibility of 3D-printed aligners, further extending the range of cases and treatment complexities that can be effectively managed.
LuxCreo’s proprietary ActiveMemory smart material platform will play a central role in the collaboration. These materials enable aligners to maintain consistent and continuous gentle forces over time, improving treatment predictability and potentially shortening overall treatment durations.
By integrating this material innovation with Angelalign’s global orthodontic expertise, the partnership seeks to revolutionize how aligners are designed, produced, and prescribed for patients around the world.
The investment will also support new R&D initiatives, intelligent system upgrades, and ecosystem expansion efforts to strengthen the companies’ combined capabilities in material science, automated production, and AI-driven treatment planning.
Through the accumulation of large-scale clinical data and evidence-based results, LuxCreo and Angelalign aim to validate their innovations across global clinical practices and accelerate the widespread adoption of directly 3D-printed aligner therapy.
Beyond technical innovation, the collaboration is designed to enhance both clinician and patient experiences. Direct 3D printing enables greater design flexibility, such as variable thickness, zonal elasticity, and microstructure customization, which are capabilities that give orthodontists more control over complex tooth movements. Patients benefit from aligners that require fewer attachments, provide greater comfort, and maintain an improved aesthetic appearance throughout the treatment journey.
