# Graphy enters partnership agreement with FUGO Precision 3D

[Graphy, a developer of advanced 3D printing dental materials](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/graphy/), has entered an exclusive strategic partnership and large-scale supply agreement with [FUGO Precision 3D, a US-based developer](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/fugo-precision-3d/) of layer-less 3D printing technology. The agreement marks a critical milestone in establishing a mass-production infrastructure for Shape Memory Aligners (SMA) and accelerates Graphy’s expansion into high-volume, high-precision [dental manufacturing markets](https://www.voxelmatters.com/dental-am-focus-2020-ebook/).

The collaboration integrates Graphy’s proprietary Shape Memory Aligner material technology with FUGO’s centrifugal, layer-less 3D printing platform, a process that fundamentally departs from conventional layer-by-layer additive manufacturing. By eliminating visible layer boundaries, FUGO’s technology enables: exceptionally smooth, optically clear surfaces; precision down to ~10 microns; and continuous, high-throughput manufacturing. These characteristics make the platform particularly well-suited for orthodontic appliances, where aesthetic quality, dimensional accuracy, and repeatability are critical clinical requirements.

Through this agreement, Graphy secures a strategic position beyond a conventional material supplier, becoming the exclusive provider of shape-memory materials optimized for [FUGO’s printing systems](https://www.voxelmatters.com/fugo-precision-3d-debuts-the-first-centrifugal-3d-printer/). This positioning allows Graphy to align material science, printing physics, and process optimization into a vertically integrated manufacturing ecosystem ready for enterprise-level interests.

The partnership is structured not as a one-time supply arrangement, but as a long-term strategic alliance focused on: joint R&D in materials and process co-optimization; stable, scalable global supply chains; and commercial readiness for large dental service organizations and laboratory networks.

For investors, this represents a clear transition from technology validation to industrial execution, with meaningful implications for revenue scalability and operating leverage.

"In nearly four decades of working with advanced materials and printing technologies, Graphy’s shape-memory material stands out as something genuinely new. It unlocks possibilities in dental 3D printing that we have not previously encountered," said Alex 'Sasha' Shkolnik, Co-founder and CTO of FUGO Precision 3D.

"We have received collaboration proposals from companies worldwide, but Graphy’s technological depth and long-term business vision clearly distinguished this partnership. Together, we see an opportunity to shape the future of global dental manufacturing," said Alexander Meseonznik, Co-founder and CEO of FUGO Precision 3D.

Under the agreement, Graphy participates not merely as a printer customer but as a core R&D partner, collaborating closely with FUGO to synchronize material behavior and printing dynamics. This co-development approach is designed to ensure that final SMA products deliver consistent clinical performance, manufacturability, and quality assurance at scale, and that all future products for any industry sector are held to a level of quality that was not achievable in the past.

"This exclusive partnership with FUGO represents a turning point where Graphy’s shape-memory materials converge with world-class printing technology to create new industrial value. In dental manufacturing, the true differentiator is not the printer alone, but the quality of the final product achieved through material-process synergy. Graphy is uniquely positioned to maximize that synergy," said Un-Seob Sim, CEO of Graphy. "With this collaboration, we are accelerating our global dental strategy and expect to deliver more tangible business results beginning next year. We will continue to set new benchmarks in the dental industry by centering innovation around advanced 3D printing materials."
