SprintRay Unveils Wireless Scanner, Compact Chairside Line and GC Resin at 3DNext

The dental technology company is tying a new scanner, a small-footprint print-wash-cure line and a GC restorative material into a single chairside workflow.

SprintRay used the 3DNext 2026 meeting in Miami Beach to introduce three linked additions to its digital dentistry offering: the Foundation wireless full-colour intraoral scanner for its ScanOS software, the Nano Series compact chairside production workflow, and an expanded materials partnership with GC Corporation. The company said it has produced more than 20 million dental parts worldwide.

Scanning moves into the SprintRay account

Foundation is designed to bring intraoral scanning into the same account and interface that clinicians use for design and production. SprintRay says the arrangement can take a practice from digital capture to a finished case without a separate file export or upload step after scanning. The scanner is set to launch in the United States, with first shipments expected in November 2026.

Amir Mansouri, 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 described ScanOS as making scanning a native part of the SprintRay workflow and Foundation as the first scanner built for that environment.

Nano Series focuses on single-patient cases

SprintRay estimates that about 80% of chairside print jobs involve a single patient and a single case. The Nano Series is intended for that pattern, combining NanoPrint, NanoWash and NanoCure in a print, wash and cure workflow that occupies less than 30 inches of counter space. NanoPrint uses a 385 nm light engine, NanoWash automates washing and drying, and NanoCure handles post-processing. AutoPrint and Job Handoff are intended to connect production steps and carry case information through the workflow.

The system supports clinical applications through SprintRay's validated materials library, with specific indications and availability varying by market. Shipments are expected to begin in November 2026 in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the European Union, subject to regional regulatory requirements and product availability. NanoWash is not part of the Canadian launch offering.

Mansouri said the Nano Series was designed to make chairside production more intuitive and practical for the dental team while keeping the workflow in a compact footprint and maintaining the standards clinicians expect from SprintRay.

GC partnership adds a hybrid ceramic resin

The expanded GC Corporation partnership includes the launch of GC GRADIA PREMi, a hybrid ceramic restorative resin developed for the SprintRay Midas Digital Press workflow. The collaboration combines GC's restorative materials expertise 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.

Mansouri said both openness and validation matter, adding that SprintRay works with leading partners to broaden what clinicians can do while maintaining strict standards for the workflow.

Integrated workflow, staged rollout

Together, the announcements extend SprintRay's connected workflow from scanning and design through production and post-processing. The commercial rollout is staged: Foundation is initially slated for the U.S. market, the Nano Series has a multi-country launch plan with regulatory and availability caveats, and the new GC material remains subject to final labelling and review.
