LuxCreo announced the FDA Class II 510(k) clearance of LuxAlign® , its end-to-end solution for direct printing of clear aligners, bypassing traditional model and thermoforming stages. "LuxCreo direct print aligners offer higher accuracy compared to thermoformed alternatives, which can result in a better patient fit," says LuxCreo CEO Mike Yang.
The iLux Pro Dental is a high-throughput, small-footprint, heated DLP printer with 50-µm pixel resolution powered by LEAP™ technology. LuxAlign® design software allows users to automatically generate designs, add trimlines, repair tooth gaps, and vary aligner thickness. The iLuxCure Pro is a programmable, multi-wavelength, multi-direction post-print cure.
