Smilers, a subsidiary of the Biotech Dental group, is a leading manufacturer of invisible dental aligners. Founded a decade ago by CEO Philippe Véran, the company recently inaugurated a cutting-edge automated facility in Salon de Provence, South of France.
From humble beginnings in a garage with a small 3D printer, Smilers secured a 15-million-euro investment to automate its factory. The company utilizes additive manufacturing to produce millions of unique dental aligners, challenging traditional mass production methods. With three operational lines, including two fully robotic lines, Smilers is poised for further expansion and innovation in the dental industry.
