2025: A year of breakthroughs in digital dentistry. In News by SprintrayDecember 31, 2025 When SprintRay Inc. look back at 2025, SprintRay Inc.'ll remember it as the year digital dentistry stopped being "the future" and became the present. For SprintRay, it was a year of firsts - new partnerships, new materials, new capabilities, and recognition that validated what SprintRay Inc. has been building for the past decade. Partnerships that change the game. In March, SprintRay Inc. announced a strategic partnership with Solventum (formerly 3M Health Care) focused on developing high-quality, permanent same-day restorations. The goal is ambitious: bring to market the first permanent chairside 3D printed crown with the durability patients and dentists expect from traditional lab-fabricated restorations. As Solventum's President of Dental Solutions Karim Mansour put it: "Imagine a world where your dentist can create a crown that can last decades in a matter of minutes." That's not a distant dream anymore. It's the roadmap SprintRay Inc. is actively building. At IDS 2025 in Cologne, SprintRay Inc. took another major step forward with the Straumann Group. This strategic alliance produced the Straumann Signature Midas by SprintRay - a co-branded version of its Midas Digital Press integrated with Straumann's AXS platform and SIRIOS intraoral scanner. It's a collaboration designed to accelerate same-day dentistry adoption worldwide. These partnerships join its existing integrations with Nobel Biocare, Ivoclar, Medit, 3Shape, Dexis, and Align - creating an ecosystem where SprintRay technology connects seamlessly with the tools practices already use. SprintRay Inc. also received significant third-party validation this year. Zest Dental Solutions published a whitepaper confirming SprintRay OnX Tough 2 as the highest strength resin for LOCATOR fixed prosthetics - independent confirmation that its materials perform at the level practices need for demanding clinical applications. New materials, new possibilities. Materials are the lifeblood of 3D printing. The printer is only as good as what it can produce - and in 2025, SprintRay Inc. dramatically expanded what's possible. At the Chicago Midwinter Meeting in February, SprintRay Inc. unveiled Crown HT for Midas, a first-of-its-kind Midas-exclusive material for definitive crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers. SprintRay Inc. also introduced Digital Temp for Midas, leveraging its proprietary NanoFusion technology for superior temporary restorations. Dr. Matt Nejad, a leading biomimetic and aesthetic dentist in Beverly Hills, has been using Midas in his practice: "It has reduced multi-surface restoration time from 90-120 minutes to just 30-40 minutes per patient visit, dramatically enhancing efficiency and the overall patient experience." For the Digital Print line, SprintRay Inc. launched SportsGuard Resin - available in Crimson Red and Cobalt Blue - for high-performance custom athletic mouthguards. And in Q3, SprintRay Inc. released Direct Print Retainer Resin, enabling 3D printing of clear retainers with micron-level accuracy and eliminating the need for traditional thermoforming. Hardware innovation: the Duo Kit. Sometimes the biggest innovations aren't entirely new products - they're new ways to use what you already have. The Duo Kit for Pro 2 is a patent-pending accessory that splits the build platform and resin tank into two discrete areas. The result? You can print two different resins simultaneously. For practices producing full dentures, splints, and other high-demand applications, this is a workflow accelerator. No more waiting for one material to finish before starting another. No more swapping tanks mid-day. Just faster, more efficient production from the equipment you already own. European expansion. 2025 marked its biggest push into European markets. At IDS 2025, SprintRay Inc. officially launched Midas Digital Press across Europe and announced that its industry-leading Ceramic Crown and OnX Tough 2 resins would soon be available pending Class IIa certification under EU Medical Device Regulation. The response from European dental professionals confirmed what SprintRay Inc. has seen in the US: practices are ready for same-day dentistry, and they're looking for technology partners who can deliver it reliably. SprintRay Inc. don't do this work for awards, but it's gratifying when the broader business community takes notice of what's happening in digital dentistry. In 2025, its co-founders received the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award for Greater Los Angeles - recognition that reflects the contributions of its entire team. As CEO Amir Mansouri noted: "It's a recognition of the entire team that got us to win the championship. We popped champagne and celebrated all the contributions that got us here. It also happens to be our 10th anniversary." Ten years ago, SprintRay started as a USC research project. Today, SprintRay Inc. is helping define what modern dentistry looks like. Growing the family: EnvisionTEC acquisition. In September 2025, SprintRay Inc. acquired EnvisionTEC's dental portfolio from Desktop Health - adding over 200 patents, cDLM technology, and the Flexcera material line to its capabilities. This acquisition strengthens its ability to serve both chairside practices and dental labs, expanding its reach across the full spectrum of digital dentistry workflows. What it all means. Every partnership, every material launch, every hardware innovation in 2025 pointed toward the same goal: making digital dentistry more accessible, more reliable, and more valuable for practices of every size. The numbers tell the story. According to AM Research, 15% of US dental practices now have at least one 3D printer - approximately 30,000 printers in practices alone. More importantly, US practices now have more printers than mills for in-office workflows. The shift is happening. And SprintRay Inc. is proud to be helping lead it. Looking ahead. 2025 was a year of building - partnerships, materials, capabilities, and trust. In 2026, SprintRay Inc.'ll put all of it to work. Same-day permanent restorations. Expanded material options. Deeper integrations. More practices discovering what's possible when they bring digital workflows in-house. Thank you for being part of this journey. Whether you've been with SprintRay Inc. since the MoonRay days or you're just starting to explore 3D printing, SprintRay Inc. is grateful for your trust.

Becomes the official UK repair centre for SprintRay 3D printers. MC Repairs Ltd is proud to announce that MC Repairs Ltd is now the first independent repair centre for SprintRay, officially managing all UK warranty and non-warranty repairs for SprintRay 3D printers. This partnership marks a major step forward for digital dentistry in the UK, giving clinics and laboratories fast, reliable, and fully certified local support. Why SprintRay partnered with MC Repairs. In 2024, SprintRay began searching for a trusted UK partner who could offer the same high standards of service that customers expect from its European headquarters. Until now, most SprintRay repairs required printers to be shipped abroad - a time-consuming process that caused unnecessary downtime for clinics. SprintRay wanted a UK-based service hub with proven technical ability, rapid turnaround, and strong customer focus. With over 25 years of dental equipment repair experience, MC Repairs already worked with every major manufacturer in the industry. Its reputation for reliability, combined with over £300K in stock and 24-hour turnaround times, made MC Repairs Ltd the ideal partner. Training and certification at SprintRay Europe. In early 2025, Andrew (Workshop Manager) and I, Carl Wise, travelled to SprintRay Europe in Weiterstadt, Germany, to begin an intensive technical training programme covering every aspect of SprintRay 3D printer servicing. * Full mechanical and optical calibration procedures * Resin handling and curing system maintenance * Software diagnostics and firmware troubleshooting * Detailed component-level repair training "Working with SprintRay's engineers in Germany gave us a real appreciation for the technology's precision and quality," says Carl Wise. "It was vital that our UK repair standards matched SprintRay's global benchmarks." After three months of rigorous training, SprintRay engineers visited MC Repairs' facility in the UK to verify its setup and ensure all procedures met official SprintRay standards. Once approved, MC Repairs became the exclusive authorised UK repair and warranty centre for SprintRay products. Certified SprintRay Repairs - now in the UK. With accreditation complete, all SprintRay warranty and non-warranty repairs are now handled directly by MC Repairs. Its collection, service, and return process typically takes less than one week, helping dental professionals and labs minimise downtime. Where available, loan units can also be provided to keep workflows running smoothly. * UK-based SprintRay service - no more overseas shipping * Certified repairs using genuine SprintRay parts * Fast turnaround - collection, repair, and return in under a week * Direct communication with UK technicians * Loan printers available (subject to stock) "Our goal is to eliminate unnecessary downtime," says Andrew. "Clinics can rely on us for expert support, fast turnaround, and complete confidence in every repair." Supporting the growth of digital dentistry. 3D printing has transformed modern dentistry, enabling faster turnaround, more accurate results, and cost-effective in-house production of models, guides, and aligners. As more practices adopt SprintRay technology, having a dedicated UK repair centre ensures that clinicians can continue working with confidence, knowing their equipment is supported locally by trained experts. MC Repairs is also expanding its capabilities across other areas of digital dental technology, including intraoral scanners, milling systems, and imaging units - creating a comprehensive digital support hub for UK dentists. Looking ahead. As SprintRay continues to grow its UK presence, MC Repairs is investing in additional training, dedicated workstations, and specialist diagnostic tools to meet future demand. "This partnership represents a new chapter for us," says Carl Wise. "Digital dentistry is the future, and we're proud to support UK dentists with world-class service right here at home."
