FUGO and Graphy combine centrifugal 3D printing with dental materials

Additive manufacturing in the dental sector is strongly shaped by material properties, process reliability, and reproducible workflows. Against this background, FUGO Precision 3D and the South Korean materials manufacturer Graphy Inc. have agreed on a technological partnership. The aim is to integrate Graphy’s photopolymer dental materials into FUGO’s centrifugal 3D printing platform, which is scheduled to be publicly demonstrated for the first time ahead of its market launch in 2026.

The system developed by FUGO differs from conventional SLA or DLP systems through a fully integrated process. Printing, cleaning, drying, and curing are carried out in an automated cycle that requires no manual intervention. The centrifugal motion enables uniform layer formation and short cycle times. Combined with the dental resins developed by Graphy, which are approved as Class II biocompatible materials, the approach specifically targets applications such as denture bases, splints, or aligner components.

Graphy refers to clinical validation studies, including work published in the journal Materials in 2023, which demonstrate the mechanical strength and dimensional accuracy of directly printed components. In conjunction with the integrated post-processing, the parts are intended to be ready for use immediately after printing.

“This partnership enables a new class of precision manufacturing,” said Alexandr (Sasha) Shkolnik, CTO of FUGO Precision 3D. “We’re not only streamlining production – we’re elevating the clinical performance standard with each cycle. The combination of hardware innovation and material science sets the stage for true mass manufacturing at scale.”

FUGO is currently preparing an early access program with selected partners in North America to test the technology under real-world conditions. This positions the company early in a market that is increasingly focused on automated and scalable 3D printing processes.
