Workflow

From Dental Model to Finished Aligner — Eight Automated Steps

Load the silos, press start, and let ACTA-E carry every aligner through forming, marking, trimming and collection.

Loading dental models into the silo
Step 01

Set Dental Models

Operators load printed dental models into the silo — with on-board storage for up to 240 models, the line runs for hours without intervention.

Loading dental film
Step 02

Set Dental Film

Load sheet or roll film into the feeder. The system handles up to 4 sheet types — as many as 300 pieces per type — for flexible multi-material production.

Automatic dental model taking
Step 03

Automatic Model Taking

A robotic handler automatically picks each dental model from storage and positions it precisely for the forming stage.

Automatic dental film grabbing
Step 04

Automatic Film Grabbing

The film handling unit grabs and feeds each membrane sheet with accurate, repeatable placement — no manual alignment required.

Thermoforming of the aligner
Step 05

Thermoforming

Thermoforming starts automatically, pressing the heated film over each model under tightly controlled conditions for consistent, high-quality appliances.

Code reading and laser marking
Step 06

Code Reading & Laser Marking

Formed appliances transfer automatically to code reading, and a sealed-off CO2 laser marks each aligner with its unique identification — full traceability, zero mix-ups.

Automatic trimming of the aligner
Step 07

Automatic Trimming

Each aligner is trimmed automatically by a mechanical or laser cutter — clean, smooth edges with 0.02 mm positioning accuracy, straight off the line.

Automatic collection of finished aligners
Step 08

Automatic Collection

Finished aligners are collected automatically, ready for final inspection and packaging — rapid, accurate clear aligner production from start to finish.

Upgrade From Manual To Intelligent Production

Traditional Workflow

  • Manual Operation
  • Multiple Production Steps
  • Lower Efficiency

ACTA-E Workflow

  • Automatic Processing
  • Integrated Production
  • Higher Output Consistency

Flexible Configuration

Built Around Your Production Needs

Optional Film

  • Sheet Film

    Pre-cut sheets offer convenient handling and easy management of multiple materials and thicknesses.

  • Roll Film

    Significantly reduces material changeover frequency, improves efficiency and continuity for extended operation, and may lower unit cost.

Optional Cutter

  • Mechanical Cutter

    Durable and stable trimming performance, suitable for a wide range of common membrane materials.

  • Laser Cutter

    Enables non-contact trimming for smoother edges, while effectively reducing mechanical stress.

Automatic Production Process

  • End-to-End Automation

    Automatic model taking and film storage, thermoforming, marking, trimming and collection ensure rapid, accurate aligner production.

  • Continuous Output

    240-model storage and 100–120 pcs/h keep large-scale production running without interruption.
