AI-based medical solution company Laon Medi has signed an agreement with Graphy, a specialized 3D printing medical materials company, to commercialize a next-generation clear aligner platform and expand its global business.
Through this collaboration, Laon Medi aims to integrate its AI-based orthodontic design software with Graphy’s advanced 3D printing materials and manufacturing technologies to develop and commercialize a next-generation digital orthodontic platform for the global market.
Previously, the two companies entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in October last year for the joint development of an AI-based orthodontic solution. After approximately six months of R&D, the platform is now in the final stages of system development, with pilot operations planned ahead of a global launch.
The upcoming platform combines Laon Medi’s CBCT-based root analysis and 3D visualization capabilities with Graphy’s shape-memory resin and 3D printing technologies. It enables precise simulation of complex tooth movements and significantly simplifies conventional manual workflows into a “one-click” level through automation.
In particular, the platform is designed as a fully integrated “One-stop” system, covering the entire process from order intake and AI-based treatment setup to aligner design and final production via 3D printing. This is expected to reduce lead time and establish a scalable mass production system.
A representative from Laon Medi stated, “Through our collaboration with Graphy, we have enhanced the completeness of our digital orthodontic platform while securing both scalability and productivity required for the global market. We plan to expand our presence in key markets including the U.S. and Japan.”
Meanwhile, Laon Medi continues to strengthen its global footprint with its AI-based dental software, Laon Ortho, gaining recognition for its technology and clinical applicability through major exhibitions and academic conferences.
