uLab® Announces Strategic Collaboration with Voxel and LuxCreo to Revolutionize Direct Print Aligner Technology
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 12, 2024 – uLab Systems® has announced a strategic collaboration with Voxel Dental and LuxCreo, Inc., two leaders in the orthodontic industry. This partnership aims to enhance the capabilities of direct print aligner technology. Each company shares a vision for transforming in-office manufacturing for orthodontists, streamlining workflows for direct print appliances, and promoting the adoption of this innovative technology.
“We could not be happier to team up with Voxel and LuxCreo,” stated Charlie Wen, Co-founder and President of uLab Systems. “This collaboration will deliver advancements in direct print technology, benefiting our customers and their patients with fast, precise, and cost-effective solutions.”
Mark Bacino, Vice President of Orthodontic Solutions at Voxel, shared his excitement for the future of direct print aligners with LuxCreo’s system. “We were previously concerned about the lengthy digital workflow. However, with the integration of uLab’s uDesign platform and LuxCreo FastTrack AI, setting up direct print cases is significantly easier. This collaboration has dramatically reduced labor time by eliminating the need for physically blocking out, thermoforming, cutting, and trimming in-office aligners,” he explained.
Mike Yang, CEO of LuxCreo, expressed his enthusiasm regarding the partnership: “We are excited to unite our commitment to enhancing patient care through innovative solutions. Together, we are pushing the boundaries of digital dentistry, providing doctors with elegant solutions that create lasting value for their businesses and patients. This collaboration reflects our goal to shape a more connected future.”
uLab’s uDesign software has established itself as the leader in digital aligner treatment planning platforms since its launch in 2019. The company is focused on empowering orthodontists by creating flexible workflows that enhance control over treatment plans and aligner manufacturing. Recently, uLab introduced direct print capabilities into the uDesign software and is working closely with LuxCreo for integrations that will optimize time for users.
