As demand for clear aligners continues to soar, orthodontic practices and labs are constantly seeking smarter, faster, and more cost-effective solutions to scale their operations. Enter the **Trimlign2** by **Ortho-Automation**—a next-generation robotic aligner trimming system engineered to **maximize throughput, reduce labor costs, and streamline your workflow**.

### One Operator, Three Machines, Massive Output

According to the data, a single employee using **hand tools** can trim a maximum of **192 aligners per day**. But with the Trimlign2, that same employee can operate **three machines simultaneously**, boosting output to an impressive **1,320 aligners per day**—that’s nearly **7x more productivity** without increasing headcount.

Here’s how the numbers break down:

| Method | Cost per Aligner | Max Aligners/Day | Max Aligners/Year | Annual Savings |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Hand Tools | $1.06 | 192 | 49,920 | $0 |
| 1 Trimlign Machine | $0.22 | 456 | 118,560 | $101,587 |
| 3 Trimlign Machines | $0.14 | 1,320 | 343,200 | $315,820 |

📌 **Takeaway:** It would take **seven full-time employees** with hand tools to match the aligner output of **one employee using three Trimlign2 machines**.

### Reduce Costs, Increase Profits

With labor savings of over **$315,000 per year**, the ROI on Trimlign2 is crystal clear. The drastically reduced **cost per aligner**—from **$1.06 down to just $0.14**—translates into immediate profit margin improvements and long-term scalability.

### Automation Without Compromise

The Trimlign2 delivers:

- **Consistent, high-quality trimming**
- **Simple operator controls**
- **Reliable scalability for high-volume aligner production**
- **Compatibility with digital workflows and leading orthodontic aligner brands**

This system is ideal for:

- In-house aligner manufacturers
- Orthodontic labs
- DSOs scaling production
- Practices entering direct-print or in-house aligner workflows

### Embrace the Future of Aligner Manufacturing

As the clear aligner space evolves toward **automation, scalability, and precision**, technologies like the Trimlign2 represent the future. Whether you're managing hundreds or hundreds of thousands of aligners annually, Ortho-Automation’s Trimlign2 enables your practice or lab to grow **faster, smarter, and more profitably**.
