LuxCreo has secured a strategic investment from Angelalign Technology Inc to co-develop advanced 3D printing materials for direct-printed clear aligners.
LuxCreo has received a strategic investment from Angelalign Technology Inc, a global provider of clear aligner solutions. The partnership will focus on co-developing new high-performance 3D printing materials aimed at advancing direct-printed clear aligner technology in orthodontics.
Focus on Direct 3D Printing for Orthodontics
The collaboration aims to accelerate innovation and clinical adoption of direct 3D printing technologies. This approach eliminates several manufacturing steps and manual processes, reducing production times. With ongoing improvements in material properties, 3D-printed aligners are expected to offer better precision, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility—expanding their use in complex and personalized treatment plans.
Material and Platform Development
LuxCreo brings expertise in direct 3D printing and proprietary ActiveMemory smart materials to the partnership. The investment from Angelalign will support research and development of new materials, platform updates, and expansion of the broader digital dentistry ecosystem. The companies will gather clinical data and evidence to improve treatment reliability and support wider adoption.
Clinical and Patient Benefits
The partnership will enhance aligner design flexibility, enabling custom microstructures, zonal elasticity, and variable thickness. ActiveMemory materials deliver continuous and gentle forces, which can improve treatment predictability and reduce treatment duration. Patients are expected to benefit from improved aesthetics, comfort, and fewer traditional attachments.
Executive Statement
“We are thrilled to partner with an industry leader like Angelalign Technology. Their deep clinical experience and extensive industry resources will amplify LuxCreo’s strengths in material innovation, automated production, and AI-driven digital dental platforms. Together, we aim to establish a more efficient and precise digital orthodontic paradigm that benefits patients globally through innovation,” said Dr Mike Yang, co-founder and CEO of LuxCreo.
