Align Technology, the company behind Invisalign, is set to revolutionize its manufacturing process by transitioning to direct 3D printing of its aligners. This shift is expected to reduce costs, increase affordability, and solidify Align’s position as the world’s largest user of 3D printers. Joe Hogan, CEO of Align, plans for this change to boost the company’s growth and maintain its dominant market share in the orthodontics industry. Align Technology handled 2.6 million cases last year, and its comprehensive control over the production process underpins its strategic growth plans.
