SprintRay Unveils Ceramic Crown 3D Printing Ecosystem

SprintRay Inc., a company focused on digital dentistry and 3D printing solutions, announces the U.S. commercial launch of its Ceramic Crown 3D Printing Ecosystem—a solution set to deliver same-day, chairside delivery of ceramic dental restorations.

“Our new Ceramic Crown 3D Printing Ecosystem is the first of a new generation of single-appointment workflows from SprintRay that will change the way restorative care is delivered to patients,” says SprintRay CEO and co-founder Amir Mansouri, Ph.D.

“Dental crowns are one of the most common restorative dental procedures dentists perform, but conventional methods of fabrication require multiple patient visits and chair time,” adds Mansouri. “Our system now enables full end-to-end definitive chairside crown fabrication in less than 45 minutes, delivering tangible financial and time-saving benefits to both patients and providers.”

This complete dental 3D printing ecosystem equips dental professionals with all of the tools—hardware, software, materials and round-the-clock technical support—for chairside crown fabrication, according to the company.

Hybrid Ceramic Resin

This ecosystem introduces SprintRay Ceramic Crown, a new Ceramic Dominant resin 510(k) Class 2 cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for 3D printing definitive full and partial single crowns and veneers. This resin features a Ceramic Dominant formulation comprised of over 50% ceramic material.

Automated Crown Design

Using advanced machine learning and optimization, the Ceramic Crown 3D Printing Ecosystem features Crown Design Services powered by artificial intelligence (AI), a service available 24/7 and delivered in minutes.

Engineered for Workflow Speed

The Ceramic Crown 3D Printing Ecosystem includes the SprintRay Pro S Crown Kit, a new compact build platform and resin tank designed to print multiple single-unit crowns efficiently. Compatible with the SprintRay Pro S 3D printer family, this technology uses heat and hard anodized aluminum to deliver crown prints in as little as 10 minutes. Coupled with AI design in minutes and post-processing with the SprintRay ProCure 2, the Ceramic Crown 3D printing chairside workflow is optimized for delivery to patients in less than 45 minutes.
