Argen Corporation Enters 3D Printed Clear Aligner Market

The Argen Corporation, the world’s largest manufacturer of precious dental gold alloys, leader in zirconia manufacturing, and leading innovator of digital dentistry solutions, will manufacture clear aligners as part of a digital workflow with industry-leading scanner and design partners. This digital workflow is designed for dental labs looking to enter the clear aligner market.
The open and innovative clear aligner workflow is made up of 3Shape’s Trios intraoral scanner technology, FullContour’s extensive design services, and Argen’s milling and 3D printing capabilities, the largest serving the dental lab industry. This workflow is ideal for dental labs and enables them to be central and retain full control in the process.
“Manufacturing clear aligners is one more way we enable dental labs to offer in-demand services to their customers and underscores our commitment to supplying dental labs with opportunities to expand their product and service offering,” Anton Woolf, CEO of The Argen Corporation.
Components of the solution will be available starting Q2 of 2018 with a full launch planned for the fall of 2018.
