Abstract: A method includes identifying first geometry of a first mold associated with a first dental arch and a second geometry of a second mold associated with a second dental arch. The method further includes determining, based on the first geometry and the second geometry that the first mold and the second mold are to be used for simultaneous forming of a first dental appliance and a second dental appliance on a plate in a dental appliance manufacturing system. The method further includes causing, based on the first geometry and the second geometry, one or more portions of the dental appliance manufacturing system to be configured to form the first dental appliance and the second dental appliance.

Abstract: A system is configured to manufacture an aligner. The system includes a heating section configured to heat a sheet of plastic to generate a heated sheet of plastic. The system further includes a plate configured to secure a mold associated with a dental arch of a patient. The plate includes a keyway and a pin. The mold includes a first feature configured to interface with the keyway and a second feature configured to interface with the pin. The system further includes a thermoforming chamber configured to thermoform the heated sheet of plastic to the mold that is secured to the plate via a first interface of the keyway with the first feature and a second interface of the pin with the second feature to generate a thermoformed sheet of plastic. The system further includes a cutting tool configured to trim the aligner from the thermoformed sheet of plastic.

Abstract: A method includes: identifying marking parameters associated with performance of dental appliance etching; includes identifying a first segment of marking data to be etched onto a dental appliance; causing, via dental appliance marking equipment based on the marking parameters, etching of the first segment on the dental appliance; capturing image data associated with the etching of the first segment; and causing the marking parameters to be updated based on the image data. A method includes: subsequent to dental appliances being simultaneously thermoformed via a thermoforming system in a single batch, determining dental appliance data and laser tool data; determining, based on the dental appliance data and the laser tool data, global plan data for performing laser operations of the dental appliances via laser tools; and causing, based on the global plan data via the laser tools, the laser operations of the dental appliances.

Abstract: A system includes a heating section configured to heat a sheet of plastic to generate a heated sheet of plastic. The system includes a plate configured to secure a mold associated with a dental arch of a patient. The plate includes a locking mechanism. The mold includes feature configured to interface with the locking mechanism. The system further includes a thermoforming chamber configured to thermoform the heated sheet of plastic to the mold that is secured to the plate via an interface of the locking mechanism with the feature to generate a thermoformed sheet of plastic. The locking mechanism is configured to extend through the mold and overlap an upper surface of the mold to lock the mold in a z-direction that is orthogonal to a plane defined by the plate. The system further includes a cutting tool configured to trim an aligner from the thermoformed sheet of plastic.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to thermoforming multiple aligners simultaneously. In one embodiment, an aligner manufacturing system includes a plate, a heating section, and a thermoforming chamber. The plate is configured to secure a first mold of a first dental arch and a second mold of a second dental arch. The heating section is configured to heat a sheet of plastic to generate a heated sheet. The thermoforming chamber is configured to simultaneously thermoform the heated sheet over the first mold of the first dental arch and the second mold of the second dental arch to form a first aligner shaped to fit the first dental arch and a second aligner shaped to fit the second dental arch.
