Participants are classified into four tiers based on export volume and growth potential: promising, growth, strong, and strong+.</p> <p contents-hash="a721a51cd6385314178a40ced98a4c96caa5a4b8f421c57338602e6e8d5b9f07" dmcf-pid="PGCCZlPKOp" dmcf-ptype="general">The “Strong+” designation represents the highest level. It is awarded to companies with annual exports exceeding $10 million that demonstrate strong technological competitiveness, global market scalability, and sustainable growth potential. Only about 10% to 15% of participating companies qualify for this top tier.</p> <p contents-hash="5ef2a5081916d3e78400d4d95c40b1a0cc87276f2e80dc8ea2f36aba39a5ba86" dmcf-pid="QHhh5SQ9I0" dmcf-ptype="general">Graphy was first selected in 2024 and has been reselected in 2026, reinforcing its position as a high growth export company capable of sustained expansion in global markets.</p> <p contents-hash="bad661b629ef1ceb201353c908c31433043812485fd6e7a1ea031dc7c606a555" dmcf-pid="xXll1vx2I3" dmcf-ptype="general">A key factor behind the latest recognition is Graphy’s proprietary Shape Memory Aligner technology based on direct 3D printing.</p> <p contents-hash="1749675634acf2ddadb2d277feb5d252c8aae70ace0edf0d119afb8c699a904f" dmcf-pid="yJ88LPyODF" dmcf-ptype="general">Conventional clear aligner manufacturing requires physical model production, thermoforming, and multi-step processes. In contrast, Graphy’s SMA technology uses a digital data-based direct printing method that simplifies production and significantly improves efficiency. This enables up to 30% to 50% reduction in production lead time, lower material usage, and improved cost efficiency through fewer process steps.</p> <p contents-hash="f86266937b7eb5544b6eab872d53057702e7c708d813e0c10f485c7d3ce2b512" dmcf-pid="Wi66oQWIDt" dmcf-ptype="general">The SMA material leverages shape recovery properties at oral temperature to deliver continuous and uniform orthodontic force, enhancing both treatment stability and predictability compared with conventional methods.</p> <p contents-hash="ccde1283387bfc13c8e9f3b04a4b3aa64ba8e7d5def1c6b1e3502f15520201af" dmcf-pid="YnPPgxYCI1" dmcf-ptype="general">Backed by its technology-driven competitiveness, Graphy has recorded rapid export growth across major markets including North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, expanding its presence in the global digital dentistry market.</p> <p contents-hash="ada30bc0a6e801f0c3d046fe865fae49da83bb4629a5ae2fa30f7b69275470eb" dmcf-pid="GLQQaMGhE5" dmcf-ptype="general">The global clear aligner market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of about 20% to 25%, reaching approximately $30 billion by 2030. Digital-based direct manufacturing is emerging as a key industry trend.</p> <p contents-hash="f79da46dd8eab8e208fd9d3eeafdbe4555971262d8893313a058a6be7b6e6925" dmcf-pid="HoxxNRHlrZ" dmcf-ptype="general">With the Strong+ designation, Graphy will receive a range of policy support, including export vouchers, overseas marketing and market entry assistance, preferential interest rates and expanded export financing, higher guarantee and insurance limits, and additional points in government R&D programs.</p> <p contents-hash="378b5cbf115e1ce28af4a16c3e0e1cc8e80a9ba4a5221c946165a34ffa4e5d94" dmcf-pid="XgMMjeXSEX" dmcf-ptype="general">The export voucher program alone can provide several hundred million won per company, supporting global exhibitions, academic conferences, and digital marketing initiatives aimed at expanding overseas presence.</p> <p contents-hash="71d06250a02d789eef934ebf385a013366d2869aa7219ba207cb4c7007679e0e" dmcf-pid="ZaRRAdZvIH" dmcf-ptype="general">Leveraging this support, Graphy plans to advance its global production and supply systems while developing AI-based digital orthodontic platforms and integrated solutions.

The official added that, having surpassed $10 million in annual exports, the company aims to achieve double-digit global market share within three years and establish itself as a leader in setting standards for the digital orthodontics market.</p> <figure class="figure_frm origin_fig" contents-hash="279b20f941122576706b4a194b713cd8381739d9bcbba8bc456afd8e03983e61" dmcf-pid="1jddki1yIY" dmcf-ptype="figure"> <p class="link_figure"><img class="thumb_g_article" data-org-src="https://t1.daumcdn.net/news/202604/08/Edaily/20260408094704724ekpe.png" data-org-width="800" dmcf-mid="fm66oQWIEz" dmcf-mtype="image" height="auto" src="https://img4.daumcdn.net/thumb/R658x0.q70/?fname=https://t1.daumcdn.net/news/202604/08/Edaily/20260408094704724ekpe.png" width="658"></p> </figure> <p contents-hash="6144035cee8c760f180890226da7c655b6aa4e4c3b174ce6e58b9ac8033e2dd9" dmcf-pid="tAJJEntWwW" dmcf-ptype="general">나은경 (eeee@edaily.co.kr) </p> </section> </div> <p class="" data-translation="true">Copyright © 이데일리. 무단전재 및 재배포 금지.</p> 관련자료 이전 인텔 품은 머스크의 승부수…오스틴 ‘AI 반도체 제국’ 구상에 불이 붙었다 04-08 다음 ‘1부투어 승강전’ PBA 큐스쿨 1R 종료…총 30명 2R 진출 04-08 댓글 0 등록된 댓글이 없습니다. 로그인한 회원만 댓글 등록이 가능합니다.
