Clear Aligner Workflow Functionalities

Once the files are uploaded to HeyGears Cloud, the files will be processed in batches.

Powered by an AI algorithms, the automatic trimline identification function achieves a success rate of 90%, significantly reducing the inefficient and manual labeling process.

Streamflow combines fixture-adding, labeling, nesting, and slicing into an automated workflow that saves time by two-thirds with seventy percent higher processing efficiency during clear aligner data preparation.

HeyGears Cloud combines OCR results, .nc files, and files for laser engraving into one processing procedure.

The UltraCraft A2D Ortho + HiVE combo is designed for 24/7 automation and can produce 720* aligner models per day.
*When using HeyGears' super fast resin for printing standard aligner models.

Laser labeling can automatically locate the designated labeling file with OCR, reducing the manual label editing process time by 80%.

Trimline G-code matching is optimized through OCR, increasing production efficiency by 500%.

Polish and package your clear aligner so it's ready for your patient or shipment.

Materials Designed for Clear Aligner Production

Model TF UV 2.0

The high mechanical stability of the material allows a thinner design of the hollowed model structure, significantly reducing material consumption.

Model WW UV

Can be washed with water during post-processing, reducing the management cost for IPA and making the production process safer.
