Technology & Products

Key Products

["Dental Restoration Materials: High-performance zirconia ceramic blocks (Colorful 3D Pro, Honor series), glass-ceramics, and restorative resins.","Oral Digital Equipment: Intraoral scanners (A-S01), CAD/CAM milling machines, and intelligent sintering furnaces.","3D Printing Solutions: High-speed 3D printers (e.g., CPD-100) and specialized photosensitive resins for surgical guides and temporary crowns.","Cameo Chairside System: An integrated digital restoration system designed for immediate clinical use.","Oral Care Products: Fluoride foam, protective agents, and orthodontic consumables."]

Technological Advantage

Proprietary '3D Pro Multi-Gradient' technology allows for zirconia blocks with seamless transitions in strength (up to 1050MPa), transparency, and color. Their AI-assisted 3D printing workflow automatically refines oral scan data to ensure 100% fit for immediate restorations.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Streamlines the entire dental restoration workflow from digital impression to final placement through a unified 'Smile Plan' ecosystem, significantly reducing treatment time and improving clinical precision.

How They Differentiate

Aidite differentiates through a 'full-stack' dental ecosystem called the 'Smile Plan,' which integrates proprietary multi-gradient zirconia materials with its own digital hardware (intraoral scanners, 3D printers) and cloud-based design software. Unlike material-focused rivals (Upcera) or equipment-heavy giants (Dentsply), Aidite optimizes the entire clinical-to-lab workflow.

Recent coverage of Aidite

Why this company matters

Aidite occupies a distinctive position in the dental additive manufacturing market as one of the few companies that has successfully transitioned from a raw zirconia material supplier to a full-stack digital solution provider. Founded in 2007 in Qinhuangdao, China, the company now owns both the material science and the hardware-software workflow, differentiating it from material-focused rivals like Upcera and equipment-heavy giants like Dentsply Sirona.

The company's core technology centers on its proprietary '3D Pro Multi-Gradient' zirconia blocks, which achieve seamless transitions in strength (up to 1050 MPa), transparency, and color. Aidite also offers VPP-DLP and VPP-SLA 3D printing solutions, including the CPD-100 printer and specialized photosensitive resins for surgical guides and temporary crowns. Its AI-assisted workflow refines oral scan data to ensure fit for immediate chairside restorations, supported by intraoral scanners (A-S01), CAD/CAM milling machines, and intelligent sintering furnaces.

Aidite serves dental clinics, laboratories, and orthodontic institutions. Notable customers include Q&M Dental Group and Modern Dental Group, with academic partnerships at Peking University School of Stomatology and West China Hospital of Stomatology. The company's 'Smile Plan' ecosystem integrates proprietary materials, digital hardware, and cloud-based design software to streamline the entire clinical-to-lab workflow.

Aidite listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (ChiNext) in June 2024. It reported a net profit of approximately RMB 142 million ($19.6M) in the first three quarters of 2024, up 27.4% year-over-year. Backed by investors including Legend Capital, Baidu Ventures, and Alibaba Group, the company faces the strategic challenge of maintaining its full-stack integration advantage as competitors in both materials and equipment continue to converge on digital workflows.
