Everything you need to get started

Work through the same five stations shown in the lab. Each section explains the production stage and collects its recommended equipment in one place.

01

Production

Turn print-ready files into accurate physical models, then wash and cure each build before it moves to forming.

Equipment

  • Form 4B 3D printer

    Masked SLA printer with a 20 × 12.5 × 21 cm build volume.

    Purchase
  • Form Wash V2

    Automated model washing with a 14.4 L solvent bucket.

    Purchase
  • Form Cure V2

    405 nm light and controlled heat for consistent post-curing.

    Purchase
  • Baker's rack

    Mobile tray storage for drying, staging, and work in progress.

    Purchase
02

Thermoforming

Heat and pressure-form aligner material over each printed model to create a precise shell with repeatable adaptation.

Equipment

  • MINISTAR S thermoformer

    Compact positive-pressure former with scan-based material settings.

    Purchase
  • Quiet air compressor

    Oil-free 1-gallon compressor rated to 120 PSI and 56 dB.

    Purchase
03

Trimming

Remove formed material from the model, establish the trim line, and smooth the primary edge for patient-ready geometry.

Equipment

  • Lab handpiece

    Variable-speed 50,000 RPM micromotor for accurate trimming and finishing.

    Purchase
04

Quality Control

Inspect every aligner, refine any rough areas, verify the fit on its model, and keep approved trays organized by case.

Equipment

  • Fine-finishing handpiece

    A dedicated second micromotor keeps inspection and finishing work flowing.

    Purchase
  • Aligner batch trays

    Washable setup trays for separating, inspecting, and staging case batches.

    Purchase
05

Packing

Label, protect, and sequence finished aligners so each patient set is complete and ready for delivery or shipping.

Equipment

  • Shipping mailers

    Rigid literature mailers sized for protected patient-ready packaging.

    Purchase
  • Baker's rack

    Mobile rack storage for staged trays and completed orders.
