Weiyun

Digital Dental C2M Industrial Internet Operator

VCBeat (WeChat ID: vcbeat) has learned that Weiyun, an industrial internet enterprise specializing in R&D and medical services for digital dentistry, recently announced the completion of its Series A financing round, raising over RMB 100 million. The round was solely led by Boiling Point Capital.

 

Weiyun is an enterprise that manufactures clinical dental products through advanced manufacturing technologies, customized robotics, and unmanned production in smart factories. It is also the only industrial internet company in China that integrates healthcare with artificial intelligence, leveraging core cross-disciplinary technologies in advanced laser vision and robotics to operate a digital online platform for customized dental services.


Weiyun AI leverages an intelligent factory ecosystem comprising a digital dental industry cloud with SaaS and MaaS platforms, alongside a matrix of robotic terminals (including proprietary additive and subtractive manufacturing smart terminals). By adopting a “fully digital, fully intelligent, and fully informatized” dental service model and utilizing its core proprietary technologies, Weiyun AI can automatically manufacture a comprehensive range of dental products with minimal human intervention across the entire production process. Its solutions cover medical scenarios including implantology, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, and prosthodontics, and are rapidly distributed to healthcare institutions, dental clinics, and patients through a C2M (Consumer-to-Manufacturer) closed-loop network.

Weiyun AI’s Industrial Internet platform for customized digital dentistry and its intelligent cloud factory can reduce the turnaround time for denture replacement and dental aesthetic procedures from 10–15 days to just 1–2 days, cut single-item production time by 90%, save 80% in labor costs, significantly improve the utilization rate of expensive consumables, and minimize unnecessary waste.


Furthermore, Weiyun AI leverages its proprietary hardware and software, cloud infrastructure, smart factories, and supply chain to create a fully closed-loop C2M ecosystem. This provides medical institutions, hospitals, and clinics with more precise and comprehensive technologies, lowers the barrier for small clinics to adopt advanced equipment, and enhances consultation efficiency and AI-driven patient acquisition. For patients, this translates to shorter treatment times, reduced pain and waiting periods, making dental aesthetic medicine truly “what you see is what you get.”

 

Data shows that the scale of China's dental manufacturing market reached RMB 26.8 billion in 2018 and is growing rapidly, indicating a vast market potential. Weiyun AI’s digital technologies have significantly reduced the supply and service costs of dental products, paving the way for medical aesthetics companies to enter the dental cosmetic surgery sector with scalable, unmanned operations. Beyond the multi-billion RMB denture manufacturing market, this development has unlocked a trillion-RMB market for multi-category dental cosmetic and reconstructive procedures.

Dr. Liu Dapeng, the company’s founder, previously held positions at renowned corporations such as Microsoft. He holds an EMBA from Tsinghua University and is a serial entrepreneur with a proven track record of successful ventures. The majority of our team members hail from leading robotics companies, as well as the artificial intelligence, internet, and multinational corporate sectors. Our core team comprises master’s and doctoral graduates from the United States, India, the Netherlands, and France, along with medical experts and key sales professionals from publicly listed companies.


Weiyun AI has received guidance and angel investment from Professor Wang Tianmiao, a top domestic expert in the robotics field who incubated the “Xiaomi Ninebot Self-Balancing Scooter” and developed China’s first surgical robot. The company has subsequently secured funding from Yarui Angels, Yarui Heyi, and the Zhongguancun Zhiyou Jinmiao Fund (backed by ZhenFund, Baidu, Puhua Capital, and the Haidian District Government), establishing itself as a leading enterprise in robotic medical services in China.


The company has secured nearly 100 patents with fully independent intellectual property rights. Its services now cover 20,000 clinics across China, and it has initiated clinical collaborations with multiple tertiary Grade A specialized hospitals.

 

Dr. Liu Dapeng stated that Weiyun AI is committed to providing comprehensive solutions for intelligent cloud-based manufacturing in the medical and dental sectors, along with a C2M (Consumer-to-Manufacturer) operational platform. As a true closed-loop industrial internet company, Weiyun leverages smart production capacity to deliver intelligent, highly efficient, and customized dental services to end-user patients. Moving forward, the company will continue to strengthen and consolidate its technological advantages through core R&D efforts, further breaking foreign technological monopolies and ushering in a new era of globalized customization for industrial internet-enabled medical products.

 

Yao Yaping, Founding Partner of沸点 Capital, believes that Weiyun AI has mastered core technologies and possesses advantages in independent research and development. By implementing digitalized and standardized manufacturing processes to intelligently transform the industry, the company has achieved data and revenue growth exceeding expectations and has already become profitable.


Meanwhile, what Feidian Capital values is not only China’s multi-billion-yuan denture manufacturing market, but more importantly, the trillion-yuan cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry market. Feidian Capital is confident in its future prospects and will continue to closely monitor the intelligent manufacturing sector.

 

Professor Wang Tianmiao, Honorary Director of the Robotics Institute at Beihang University, believes that Weiyun focuses on high-end consumer dental healthcare services, using a mobile customer service app as the entry point for demand, supported by AI-SaaS for dental laboratories, and utilizing precise and efficient robots as cloud-based processing centers. By digitizing demand, design, manufacturing, and distribution, it reshapes the traditional online and offline dental industry. Weiyun is poised to become a leading innovator in this niche sector, boasting significant technological barriers and strong resource synergy capabilities. It is hoped that Weiyun will remain humble and prudent, focus on key regions with high-end and high-frequency demand, accelerate product iteration and optimization, establish a strategic rhythm, and prepare to compete with top-tier international products.
