LuxCreo DCA Resin

A high-precision photopolymer engineered for smarter, faster and better orthodontics outcome

Why DCA Why Direct Print?

Better Outcome, Less/No Attachment, and Expanded Indications are powered by our revolutionary ActiveMemory™ Polymer.

Complete Shape Recovery

Instantaneous recovery of geometry with heat excitation

☑ Full Geometric Recovery

• Instantaneous and complete restoration to original shape
• Repeatable recovery from material creeping

☑ Thermal Excitation Mechanism

• Triggered by heat stimulus ≥60℃
• Recovery speed increases with temperature: 100℃: Full recovery within 60 seconds

Complete Force Restoration

Rejuvenated as if new for a more predictable outcome

☑ Force Retention

• Full correction force restoration upon geometric recovery
• Continuous force rejuvenation post-recovery

☑ Cyclic Stability

• No degradation in mechanical properties during shape memory cycling

Thermo-Mechanical Properties

Consistent performance at intraoral or elevated temperatures.

☑ High Tg

Material Characteristics

• Survives boiling water (100°C) exposure
• Maintains structural rigidity at elevated temperatures Clinical Advantages
• Maintains geometric accuracy post thermal activation
• Ensures consistent shape memory performance

☑ High HDT

Material Characteristics

• Heat deflection temperature exceeds intraoral thresholds
• No softening during clinical use Clinical Advantages
• Sufficient modulus in oral environment
• Delivers stable corrective forces

Easy Workflow

No spinning, no nitrogen needed. Experience a simplified, efficient process. What are the main components of the material, and is it recyclable? The DCA material is multi-component based on our proprietary technology. Properties are similar to TPU. Though it is not recyclable, it cuts 90% of the non-recyclable waste compared to a thermoforming process. How much material is consumed to print one aligner? 6-7g for a single aligner, so one bottle for 100-120 aligners (2 patients). Can I purchase your DCA resin to be printed on my printer, e.g. Formlabs? No, DCA resin workflow is closed solution system. The full workflow needs to comply to registration to ensure safety and efficacy.
