HeyGears Introduces New Automated Case-by-Case Clear Aligner Production Solution

HeyGears unveiled its Automated Case-by-Case Clear Aligner Production Solution during last week’s 39th LMT LAB DAY in Chicago. The digital manufacturing solution company launched this innovative automation-focused digital dentistry solution that hopes to transform orthodontic workflows by streamlining production processes and boosting efficiency, delivering both economic and time savings.

The solution uses the UltraCraft A3D Ortho's expansive 3D printing build platform and is powered by intelligent production processes. It enables organization and printing of clear aligner models for a full patient's case in a single operation, eliminating the need for manual sorting and significantly optimizing production efficiency, according to HeyGears.

Automation is seamlessly integrated throughout the entire production process, encompassing pre-processing, printing, and post-processing stages—exemplifying the complete case-by-case approach.

The HeyGears solution incorporates advanced features including auto OCR code labeling, auto blockout, and auto trimline detection. By automating tasks such as code labeling and blockout processes, along with generating unique OCR codes for each model for laser labeling and trimline trimming, this process saves valuable time and minimizes errors. Additionally, the A3D Ortho's large-scale build platform is designed to enable printing of all models associated in a patient's case in a single task to eliminate the need for multiple print preparations.

The new offering provides automated part removal and model collection by patient's case during the production phase. This automation is said to significantly reduce handling time and effectively enhances overall productivity levels. During the post-processing stage, final steps are simplified by providing automated washing and curing without the need for manual sorting. The solution provides both time savings and consistent and reliable outcomes.

By optimizing production processes and enhancing efficiency, HeyGears' Automated Case-by-Case Clear Aligner Production Solution empowers orthodontic professionals to deliver high-quality clear aligners with greater speed and accuracy.
