Water-Compensated Direct-Print Aligner Geometry Engine A CAD module for dental 3D-print workflows that automatically increases local aligner thickness to offset the stiffness loss caused by water absorption, so direct-printed aligners maintain target forces throughout the entire wear period.
Why it helps: Carbon's DLS printers are already used to produce clear aligners; a geometry-compensation module in their Design Engine software would directly improve clinical outcomes and reduce liability from under-performing appliances.
