Align’s Invisalign Palatal Expander System for Skeletal, Dental Expansion Now Available in India

MUMBAI, India, Jul 15, 2025 – Align Technology, Inc. (“Align”) (Nasdaq: ALGN) a leading global medical device company that designs, manufactures, and sells the Invisalign System of clear aligners, iTero intraoral scanners, and exocad CAD/CAM software for digital orthodontics and restorative dentistry, today announced that Align’s Invisalign Palatal Expander System has been approved as a Class B medical device by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) and is now commercially available in India for broad patient applicability, including growing children, teens and adults (with surgery or other techniques).

The Invisalign Palatal Expander System is a modern and innovative direct 3D-printed device based on proprietary and patented technology. Invisalign Palatal Expanders are intended for use in rapid expansion and subsequent holding of skeletal and/or dental narrow maxilla (upper jaw) with primary, mixed, or permanent dentition during treatment of patients.

“The Invisalign Palatal Expander System exemplifies our commitment to advancing digital orthodontics with innovative solutions that enhance patient treatment experiences,” said David Carr, Align Technology executive vice president and managing director, Asia Pacific. “We are excited to extend the availability of the transformative Invisalign Palatal Expander system, Align’s first direct 3D-printed orthodontic appliance, to even more doctors and their patients markets across the Asia Pacific region.”

The Invisalign Palatal Expander System consists of a series of removable devices staged in small increments of movement to expand a patient’s narrow maxilla to a position determined by their treating doctor. Each direct 3D printed device is customized to the patient’s unique anatomy based on an iTero™ intraoral digital scan. A palatal expansion treatment plan and device design are then developed using Align’s proprietary AI-driven orthodontic software.

Combined with Invisalign First™ aligners, Invisalign Palatal Expanders provide doctors with a full early intervention treatment solution for Phase 1 treatment, an early interceptive orthodontic treatment for young patients. Phase 1 treatment is traditionally done through arch expanders or partial metal braces, before all permanent teeth have erupted – typically at ages 6 through 10. Invisalign First clear aligners are designed specifically to address a broad range of younger patients’ malocclusions, including shorter clinical crowns, management of erupting dentition, and predictable dental arch expansion.

“Phase 1 or early interceptive treatment accounts for 20 percent of orthodontic case starts each year and is growing,” said Dr. Mitra Derakhshan, Align Technology executive vice president, chief clinical officer, global treatment planning and clinical services. “Together with Invisalign First aligners, Invisalign Palatal Expanders provide doctors with a solution set to treat the most common skeletal and dental malocclusions in growing children. The addition of mandibular advancement features to Invisalign aligners also provides doctors with more options for treating skeletal and dental jaw imbalances and bite correction for their growing patients during their teenage years.”

“The Invisalign Palatal Expander System alleviates the most common challenges with palatal expansion, including maintaining proper hygiene, emergency appointments, turning the screw, and the parents’ fear of causing pain to their child in treatment,” said an Invisalign practitioner based in Vancouver, Canada, who has prescribed the system to her patients. “It’s removable and supports oral hygiene while delivering a clinically effective and comfortable treatment experience for growing patients that achieves high satisfaction rates reported by parents.”

The Invisalign Palatal Expander System is available in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam, Japan, Thailand and India.

Hexagon Publishes ‘Future of Robotics 2035’ Report

LONDON, UK, Jul 15, 2025 – Hexagon, the global leader in measurement technologies, has published its 2025 flagship report, “Future of robotics 2035: Insights from Industry Experts.” The thought-provoking analysis charts the accelerating fusion of artificial intelligence and robotics – and what it will take for workforces, businesses, and societies to thrive through the transformation.

Drawing on expert interviews, global economic insights, and survey findings from automation leaders, the report reveals a pivotal turning point. According to the Results of Forrester’s Automation Survey, 2024, 82% of organisations have increased their automation investments in the past year due to genAI capabilities1. Additionally, the Top 10 Emerging Technologies in 2025 report notes that in 2024, over 25% of global automation leaders accelerated robot investments across all robot categories as a result of gen AI2. And yet, as Hexagon’s panel of experts highlights, challenges persist from costly integration with legacy systems to the urgent need for upskilling human talent.

“This report clearly indicates that the future isn’t going to be a clash of robot vs. human. It’s going to be about robots working with humans,” said Burkhard Boeckem, CTO, Hexagon. “We believe the most resilient and competitive organisations will be those that treat autonomy as a scaffold for human potential, not a replacement for it.”

Looking toward 2035, the report sketches three possible trajectories for autonomy. One vision – dubbed the “Robot Renaissance” – forecasts robots reshaping every corner of industry and services. But the report’s expert contributors agree that a so-called “managed mesh” economy is more likely. In this scenario, we can expect interoperable robots to handle around half of routine industrial and service tasks by 2035, with robotics systems quietly integrated into the everyday, allowing workforces to evolve without sudden upheaval.

Key themes and insights from the report:

  • Design for dignity is central. The roadmap calls for embedding empathy, inclusion, and transparency from pilot phase to post-deployment support.
  • The workforce remains wary but curious. Robotics companies can set themselves apart by deploying with empathy and focusing on the people. New deployments, when human-centered and transparent, are welcomed with enthusiasm – from selfies with inspection bots to reskilling pipelines that unlock new roles.
  • Integration remains a major obstacle, with 41% of companies citing difficulty embedding robots into existing systems. 3 And that means the robotics industry needs to evolve with trust and iterate together like a living relationship.
  • Autonomy is becoming economically essential, not optional. Robotics investment is surging in regions facing the steepest demographic declines and operational headwinds.

“Humans are adaptive, creative, and makers that are not replaceable cogs for output-driven AI,” said Dr. Juliet Aiken, Organisational Psychologist, Conducere + Volta. “This report reflects on where human strengths surpass automation and outlines the workforce implications from multiple angles to create a rich landscape of the future: one supported by AI where humanoid-robotics enhance work but don’t replace us.”

The full report, featuring contributions from industry leaders will share details of what it would take – technically, economically, and socially – to arrive at a transformative future.

DN Solutions to Debut New DLX Series Metal 3D Printer in Europe

DORMAGEN, Germany, Jul 14, 2025— DN Solutions (formerly Doosan), the world’s third largest and Korea’s leading manufacturer of machine tools, is presenting the new DLX series at EMO in Hanover from September 22 to 26, 2025. With the addition of the metal 3D printer to its product portfolio, DN Solutions combines additive and subtractive manufacturing for the first time, completing the manufacturing process. The synergy of 3D printing and CNC technology creates new, highly complex components in the shortest production time.

The DLX series is DN Solutions’ global entry into the rapidly growing market for additive technologies. With its first industrial-grade LPBF metal 3D printer, the company is targeting applications where conventional manufacturing processes reach their limits, such as lightweight components, organic structures or function-optimized metal components. At the same time, the metal 3D printer offers solutions for the entire production chain in combination with established machining production processes.

The aim is to close the previously missing end-to-end link between LPBF and CNC processes. Through the systematic integration of software, automation and component handling, DN Solutions creates the basis for scalable turnkey solutions along the entire process chain.

The flagship of the new Additive Manufacturing division is the DLX 450D. The industrial high-performance 3D printer is suitable for 24/7 production and offers an exchangeable build container to minimize non-productive time, a multi-laser system for high printing speed and a build volume of 450 × 450 × 450 mm.

Additive manufacturing and therefore the machines in the DLX series shorten time-to-market for new products, reduce costs through component integration and enable new designs, from complex geometries and lightweight structures to internal near-contour cooling channels and highly customized components. The metal 3D printer is used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, semiconductor manufacturing and medical technology.

Prior to the market launch, DN Solutions successfully tested the technology and additively redesigned the front cap of a spindle cylinder for the multitasking machine DNX2100 – based on the principles of Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM). The result was a 20 percent increase in performance and simplified assembly thanks to component integration.

“In our view, there is no alternative to additive manufacturing for companies that want to produce competitively. It offers opportunities to produce complex metal components that could not be realized otherwise,” says Vino Suntharakumaran, Vice President Additive Manufacturing, DN Solutions. “It was therefore a logical step for as a holistic solution provider to include this technology in our portfolio. The mandatory mechanical post-processing allows us to utilize synergies of already established technologies such as five-axis simultaneous machining and automation solutions. In addition to these solutions, we complete the 360° offering with software, services and support. This ranges from consulting on what to print and how to design for additive, to training and ramp-up support during production, directly on site.”

DN Solutions also provides support along the additive process chain with its in-house AM software suite – from the initial idea to the design and the successful production of the component. The integrated approach of hardware and software is particularly helpful for companies that want to get into additive metalworking or expand their production. In future, customers will receive support at the Additive Solution Center in Gütersloh, which will open in 2026.

“Silver & Blue”: Exhibited machines show award-winning design concept. In addition to the new DLX series, DN Solutions will be exhibiting further machines from the “DN Solutions Universe” at EMO, including the DVF5000 2nd Generation and the DNX2100. Both machines have undergone significant design updates and are the first to be launched on the market in the new Red Dot Award-winning product design. The 5-axis machining centers of the DVF series reduce setup times and increase productivity, especially in demanding industries such as aerospace or the semiconductor industry.

EON Reality Launches Vibe Coder 2.0 Featuring Flow, Guardian AI for No-Code Development 

IRVINE, CA, USA, Jul 14, 2025 – EON Reality, a global leader in AI-assisted XR and knowledge transfer solutions, today announced the launch of EON Vibe Coder 2.0, a landmark update to its groundbreaking no-code development platform. This major new version introduces two powerful new AI systems, “Flow AI” and “Guardian AI,” engineered to solve the most significant challenges in AI-assisted development: manual user friction and project stagnation. EON Vibe Coder 2.0 moves the platform from a powerful co-pilot to a truly autonomous development engine, making it possible for non-technical users to build complex applications with unprecedented speed and reliability.

The primary hurdle in previous dual-AI development models has been the “manual ping-pong”—the tedious, error-prone process where users physically copy and paste information between the orchestrating AI and the coding agent. The new Flow AI system, central to the 2.0 release, completely eliminates this bottleneck.

“EON Vibe Coder 2.0 represents the leap we’ve been working towards since we first conceived of AI-assisted creation,” said Dan Lejerskar, Founder and CEO of EON Reality. “It’s not just an upgrade; it’s a fundamental rethinking of the human-AI partnership. The manual work is gone. The frustrating dead-ends are gone. With the intelligence of Flow and Guardian AI, EON Vibe Coder 2.0 doesn’t just assist you—it autonomously drives your vision forward, ensuring what you can imagine, you can build.”

The Flow AI system in Vibe Coder 2.0 works as an intelligent workflow manager:

  • Seamless Automation: It intelligently manages the transfer of prompts and code between the user’s interface and the AI coding agent, eliminating the need for manual copy-paste cycles.
  • Uninterrupted Creativity: By automating over 90% of the manual steps, it allows users to stay in a state of creative flow, focusing on what to build, not how to shuttle data between windows.
  • Intuitive State Management: The system provides clear, real-time feedback, so the user always knows the status of the project without getting lost in the process.

While Flow AI tackles speed and user experience, Guardian AI addresses reliability and project completion. Previously, AI development could get stuck in infinite loops when an agent failed to execute a task correctly. Guardian AI, a core pillar of the 2.0 architecture, acts as a smart “circuit breaker” to prevent this.

The Guardian AI system provides intelligent oversight and error recovery:

  • Proactive Loop Detection: It actively monitors the dialogue between the AI systems, identifying when a development task is stuck or repeating failures.
  • Automated Recovery Strategies: When a loop is detected, Guardian AI automatically intervenes. It will first attempt a simpler approach to solve the problem. If that fails, it will intelligently mark the problematic component for later review and move on to the next task, ensuring the project always maintains forward momentum.
  • Guaranteed Progress: This “fail smart” approach guarantees that users will always end up with a functional, near-complete application, rather than a stalled project stuck on a single, insurmountable problem.

The combined power of Flow AI and Guardian AI in EON Vibe Coder 2.0 transforms the entire user experience. What was once a powerful but demanding process is now a fluid, resilient, and highly automated workflow. This allows educators, corporate trainers, and enterprise innovators to build sophisticated, interactive XR applications with a level of speed and confidence previously unimaginable.

EON Vibe Coder 2.0 is available immediately to all EON Reality subscribers. Learn more by downloading full white paper.
