Clear Aligner Workflow Functionalities
1Upload Designed Aligner Model Files
Once the files are uploaded to HeyGears Cloud, the files will be processed in batches.
2Automatically Identify Trimline
Powered by an AI algorithms, the automatic trimline identification function achieves a success rate of 90%, significantly reducing the inefficient and manual labeling process.
3Pre-process with Full Automation
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.
4OCR & Smart Match
HeyGears Cloud combines OCR results, .nc files, and files for laser engraving into one processing procedure.

5Produce Aligner Model Automatically
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.
6OCR & Laser Labeling
Laser labeling can automatically locate the designated labeling file with OCR, reducing the manual label editing process time by 80%.
7OCR & Trimline Cutting
Trimline G-code matching is optimized through OCR, increasing production efficiency by 500%.
8Polish & Package
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.
