When we look back at 2025, we’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 we’ve been building for the past decade.
Here’s what we accomplished together.
Partnerships That Change the Game
In March, we 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 we’re actively building.
At IDS 2025 in Cologne, we took another major step forward with the Straumann Group. This strategic alliance produced the Straumann Signature Midas by SprintRay—a co-branded version of our 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 our 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.
We 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 our 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, we dramatically expanded what’s possible.
At the Chicago Midwinter Meeting in February, we unveiled Crown HT for Midas, a first-of-its-kind Midas-exclusive material for definitive crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers. We also introduced Digital Temp for Midas, leveraging our 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, we launched SportsGuard Resin—available in Crimson Red and Cobalt Blue—for high-performance custom athletic mouthguards. And in Q3, we 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 our biggest push into European markets. At IDS 2025, we officially launched Midas Digital Press across Europe and announced that our 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 we’ve seen in the US: practices are ready for same-day dentistry, and they’re looking for technology partners who can deliver it reliably.
Recognition
We 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, our co-founders received the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award for Greater Los Angeles—recognition that reflects the contributions of our 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, we’re helping define what modern dentistry looks like.
Growing the Family: EnvisionTEC Acquisition
In September 2025, we acquired EnvisionTEC’s dental portfolio from Desktop Health—adding over 200 patents, cDLM technology, and the Flexcera material line to our capabilities.
This acquisition strengthens our ability to serve both chairside practices and dental labs, expanding our 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 we’re proud to be helping lead it.
Looking Ahead
2025 was a year of building—partnerships, materials, capabilities, and trust. In 2026, we’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 us since the MoonRay days or you’re just starting to explore 3D printing, we’re grateful for your trust.
Here’s to what we’ll build together in 2026.
