On November 17, 2023, Antabear was invited to attend the unveiling ceremony for Riton's cobalt-chromium alloy material Class III medical device registration certificate, witnessing another milestone in Riton's development.
Riton is a sub-brand of Riton Group and one of the leading brands of dental metal 3D printers in China. From 2016 to 2023, Riton has shipped over 1,500 metal 3D printers, with customers in 50 countries and regions worldwide.
In recent years, as the number of dental devices has increased, the demand for metal powder materials in the dental market has significantly risen. Recognizing this trend, Riton began the development of dental laser powder melting cobalt-chromium alloy powder, RXT-01, in 2020. After countless experiments and overcoming numerous technical challenges, their cobalt-chromium alloy powder RXT-01 successfully received the Class III medical device registration certificate in 2023.

Riton Group's other sub-brand, Riton Biomaterial, is equally impressive. It is the second company in the world and the first in China to engage in the research and production of personalized lingual orthodontic appliances. It is also the Guangdong Provincial Engineering Technology Center for Precise Dental and Jaw 3D Reconstruction, led by renowned orthodontics expert Professor Lin Jiuxiang, and has established joint training bases and 3D printing research institutes with several universities, including Jinan University, South China Normal University, and Guangdong University of Technology. The self-developed eBrace personalized lingual orthodontic appliance has completed over 30,000 treatment cases and its technology has been included in orthodontic textbooks used by numerous dental schools worldwide. It has also been published in various authoritative journals and received multiple domestic and international honors and certifications, earning high recognition from both doctors and patients.
It can be said that Riton Group's success is inseparable from its focus on the industry and its persistent pursuit of quality products. For over a decade, Riton Group has remained dedicated to the dental industry, leveraging "Internet + 3D printing" to create a new digital ecosystem for orthodontics and denture processing, committed to advancing the dental industry toward digitalization, standardization, and scalability.
Despite numerous accolades, Riton Group continues to move forward. In September of this year, Riton Biomaterial received a significant equity investment of 40 million yuan from Xingtai Capital and Xingtai Venture Capital, both under Hefei Xingtai Financial Holdings (Group) Co., Ltd. Riton Biomaterial has now established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Hefei and is based in the National Health Big Data Industrial Park in Hefei High-tech Zone, gradually implementing key business initiatives. Its digital orthodontic appliance intelligent manufacturing base project in Hefei High-tech Zone, with a total investment of 500 million yuan, focuses on the production and development of digital dental 3D printers and lingual orthodontic appliances, with construction expected to be completed and operational by the end of this year.
This raises anticipation: in this rapidly growing dental industry, what surprises will Riton Group bring us as customer demands become increasingly refined? Let's stay tuned.
