SprintRay used 3DNext 2026 in Miami Beach to introduce a wireless intraoral scanner, a compact chairside production line and an expanded materials collaboration with GC Corporation. The company says the additions extend its connected digital dentistry workflow from scanning and design through printing and post-processing.

The scanner, called Foundation, is a full-colour wireless intraoral scanner built for SprintRay’s ScanOS software. SprintRay says it places scanning in the same account and interface used for design and production, allowing a practice to move from digital capture to a finished case without a separate file export or upload step after scanning. The company plans to launch Foundation in the United States, with first shipments expected in November 2026.

Compact chairside workflow

The Nano Series is intended for the many chairside print jobs that involve one patient and one case. SprintRay estimates that such jobs account for about 80% of chairside printing. The series consists of NanoPrint, NanoWash and NanoCure, which are designed to form a connected print, wash and cure workflow in less than 30 inches of counter space.

NanoPrint uses a 385 nm light engine. NanoWash automates washing and drying, while NanoCure handles post-processing. SprintRay says AutoPrint and Job Handoff link production steps and carry case information through the workflow. The Nano Series supports a range of clinical applications through SprintRay’s validated materials library, with specific indications and availability varying by market.

The company plans to begin Nano Series shipments in November 2026 in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the European Union, subject to regional regulatory requirements and product availability. NanoWash will not be part of the Canadian launch offering.

Amir Mansouri, Ph.D., SprintRay co-founder and CEO, said the company had previously connected scanning and printing through third-party integrations, but practices still had to move between systems. He said ScanOS makes scanning a native part of the SprintRay workflow and Foundation is the first scanner built for it. Mansouri also said the Nano Series was designed around how chairside dentistry is actually performed, combining the workflow in a compact footprint while maintaining the standards clinicians expect from SprintRay.

Materials partnership with GC

SprintRay also announced a new hybrid ceramic restorative resin developed with GC Corporation. The material, GC GRADIA PREMi, is designed for the SprintRay Midas Digital Press workflow. The collaboration combines GC’s restorative materials experience with SprintRay’s capsule-based Digital Press platform, with the aim of broadening material options for definitive chairside restorations.

Specific clinical indications, performance claims and regional availability remain subject to GC’s final approved product labelling and regulatory review. SprintRay says the partnership reflects an approach of working with established partners to expand clinical options while maintaining workflow validation standards.

SprintRay says it has produced more than 20 million dental parts worldwide. The company presented the platform expansion as a step toward a more unified chairside workflow, although the scanner and Nano Series are scheduled launches rather than products already shipping at the time of the announcement.
