SprintRay Inc.^[2] is an American company founded in 2014 specializing in 3D printing technology for dental applications.^[3]

History

SprintRay first entered the dental sector in 2016 with the release of the MoonRay 3D printer, an early device enabling dental professionals to manufacture prosthetics and other dental applications in-house. Since then, SprintRay has developed new technologies in dental 3D printing.

Partnerships

SprintRay has formed various partnerships for distribution, In the United States, distribution partnerships include Benco Dental and Patterson Dental, while Henry Schein manages international distribution. Additionally, SprintRay has collaborated with Japan’s Yoshida Dental to bring its technology to the Japanese market.^[4] In 2021, SprintRay announced a joint initiative with Usain Bolt^[5]^[5] to establish Bolt Labs in Jamaica,^[6] which uses SprintRay’s 3D printers to improve access to dental care in the region.^[7] The company established a new headquarters in Germany^[8] to better serve European markets making it available in over 100 countries.^[9]^[10]

SprintRay partnered with the Ivoclar Group to combine their expertise in 3D printing with Ivoclar's materials.^[11]

Products and Technology

SprintRay’s product line includes proprietary 3D printers, resins, and accessories in the dental market. In 2021, the company launched a resin designed specifically for same-day production of dental crowns, targeting faster turnaround for dental practices. The company holds patents related to various aspects of 3D printing technology, including systems intended to reduce separation forces during printing and post-curing processes. The company also collaborates with academic and industry partners to enhance its technology and expand its range of dental applications.^[12]

SprintRay, Inc. holds several patents related to 3D printing technologies,^[13] with a focus on dental applications. The company's patents include systems for reducing separation forces in 3D printing,^[14]^[15] multi-stage wash systems for vat polymerization-based 3D printing,^[16] and methods for post-curing stereolithography-printed parts, such as the PROCURE 2 system.^[17]^[18] SprintRay's portfolio also includes design patents for components like post-curing chambers^[19] and printer housing.^[20]

Funding

In 2021, SprintRay secured $100 million in funding^[21] from investors including SoftBank's Vision Fund 2 and G Square.
