On January 15, 2025, Coherz Technologies and HGTECH officially signed an exclusive strategic cooperation agreement at Coherz's R&D and Production Base in Shanghai's Lin-gang area. This collaboration focuses on deep integration of resources and technological innovation breakthroughs, aiming to break industry barriers and empower clients with leapfrog technological development through advanced laser processing equipment, cutting-edge techniques, and in-depth exploration of smart manufacturing applications in dentistry.
As a leading domestic enterprise in orthodontic materials, Coherz Technologies has established extensive and robust market channels and a solid customer base through years of dedication to the clear aligner field. Leveraging its strong network, Coherz maintains close partnerships with numerous clear aligner manufacturers, gaining deep insights into industry demands and pain points across the supply chain—laying a solid market foundation for this collaboration.
HGTECH, a pioneer in China's laser technology sector, boasts profound technical expertise, outstanding R&D capabilities, and a commitment to continuous innovation. Its laser processing technologies have been widely adopted in high-end manufacturing, making it a benchmark for industry innovation. This provides robust technical support for laser cutting and smart manufacturing in clear aligner production.
Through this strategic partnership, Coherz Technologies and HGTECH will combine their strengths to achieve resource sharing and complementary advantages, exploring new models for upstream collaboration in the clear aligner supply chain. The alliance aims to empower clients with integrated material and processing solutions, injecting momentum into supply chain optimization and long-term industry advancement.
Technology Empowerment and Upgrades
In clear aligner manufacturing, high-precision cutting is a core process that significantly impacts product quality, production efficiency, and costs. Manual cutting demands high technical skills, struggles with consistency, and suffers from low efficiency and high costs. While automated mechanical cutting partially addresses efficiency and consistency, it still requires post-polishing and faces challenges like tool wear and dust pollution.
With growing industry demands for quality, cost-effectiveness, and customization, laser cutting technology has emerged as the mainstream solution due to its exceptional precision, efficiency, flexibility, and eco-friendliness. However, practical applications require breakthroughs in core technologies, such as motion platform compensation, diversified cutting path strategies, and adaptive laser energy density algorithms tailored to different aligner materials and structures.
To address these challenges, Coherz Technologies and HGTECH have joined forces, combining their industry expertise and advanced technologies to achieve a synergistic "1+1>2" effect. This collaboration not only overcomes technical bottlenecks in laser cutting complex polymer material paths but also enables high-quality, stable production while reducing costs through full automation. By meeting diverse clinical needs, the partnership is driving industry innovation forward.
A New Chapter of Collaboration
This strategic cooperation is set to develop a next-generation laser marking and cutting system for aligners, characterized by high precision, speed, and stability. By delivering superior, efficient, and customized products and services, the alliance will provide global clients with one-stop clear aligner material and application solutions, setting new industry benchmarks and advancing intelligent, high-end development.
At the signing ceremony, Mr. Zeng Peng, General Manager of Coherz Technologies, stated, "Partnering with HGTECH is a pivotal step in achieving our strategic goals. We will fully leverage our combined technical strengths to build a more efficient and comprehensive ecosystem for the clear aligner supply chain." He emphasized that this collaboration will not only elevate product standards but also better meet market demands for high-quality clear aligners.
Mr. Liu Yong, General Manager of HGTECH's 3C Electronics & Medical Division, shared his optimism, "Through this partnership, we aim to empower the clear aligner industry with advanced laser technology, working alongside Coherz Technologies to establish industry benchmarks and lead intelligent transformation. We believe this alliance will drive innovation and sustainable market growth."
