SprintRay launches intraoral scanner and compact system to complete the digital dental workflow
The California-based company presents Foundation, its first scanner, together with the Nano Series for chairside printing, washing and curing. All devices will be available from November 2026.
SprintRay, a manufacturer specializing in dental 3D printing, announced during the 3DNext 2026 event in Miami Beach a series of products covering the entire digital dental workflow. The company introduces Foundation, its first intraoral scanner, and the Nano Series, a compact system for chairside production.
The strategic move brings SprintRay into direct competition with established intraoral scanner suppliers. The goal is to keep clinicians within a single software environment from diagnosis to delivery.
- Foundation: wireless color intraoral scanner with ScanOS software integrated into the cloud dashboard
- Nano Series: compact printing, washing and curing system for single restorations
- Launch expected November 2026 in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the EU
- Partnership with GC Corporation for restorative resin
Foundation scanner eliminates intermediate steps
Foundation integrates scanning directly into the SprintRay workflow through ScanOS, eliminating manual file exports and uploads.
The new wireless color scanner works with ScanOS, a software layer that operates within SprintRay’s cloud dashboard. Until now, practices using SprintRay printers had to rely on third-party scanners.
This required exporting and uploading scan files before moving on to design and printing. ScanOS removes this intermediate step.
“For years we have connected scanning and printing through third-party integrations, but the experience still required practices to move between different systems,” said Amir Mansouri, co-founder and CEO of SprintRay. “ScanOS makes scanning a native part of the SprintRay workflow, and Foundation is the first intraoral scanner built for this.”.
Scanning now appears as a Scan tab alongside existing design and production tools. Completed scans go directly to the cloud, ready for the next stage of the case.
Nano Series designed for single restorations
The compact system addresses a specific need that emerged from production data: over 80% of chairside jobs involve a single patient and a single case.
SprintRay analyzed more than 20 million dental parts produced in its ecosystem. The data show that more than 80% of chairside printing jobs involve one patient and one case.
The Nano Series is sized specifically for the single-restoration work that dominates everyday chairside dentistry. This differentiates it from the existing Pro Series, designed for throughput and multi-case production.
Foundation will initially launch in the United States. The Nano Series will be available in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union, subject to regional regulatory requirements.
The system includes NanoWash, an automated washing and drying unit, and NanoCure, the post-polymerization system validated by SprintRay.
Software features for workflow automation
AutoPrint and Job Handoff automate the steps between machines, reducing manual operator intervention.
The Nano Series integrates AutoPrint, a feature that automates the printing process. Job Handoff transfers case information between the different machines in the system.
These software features aim to reduce downtime and data transfer errors between production stages.
Partnership with GC Corporation for materials
SprintRay has developed a new restorative resin for chairside applications with the Japanese manufacturer GC Corporation.
The company announced a collaboration with GC Corporation, a Japanese dental materials manufacturer, to develop a new restorative resin.
This partnership expands the range of materials available to SprintRay users. The resin was developed specifically for chairside restoration applications.
SprintRay’s strategy reflects a broader trend in digital dentistry: the vertical integration of hardware, software, and materials to offer complete solutions to dental practices.
