SprintRay Expands Its 3D Dental Printing Capabilities with EnvisionTEC Acquisition
In a significant move to bolster its offerings in the dental technology sector, SprintRay, a global leader in dental 3D printing, has officially announced the acquisition of the EnvisionTEC dental product portfolio. This strategic decision, revealed on September 2, 2025, highlights SprintRay's unwavering commitment to advancing 3D printing technologies in dentistry.
SprintRay's acquisition includes EnvisionTEC's robust portfolio of patents, trademarks, inventory, and other intellectual properties related to dental materials and 3D printing technology. EnvisionTEC, recognized as a pioneer in 3D printing within the dental field for over two decades, brings with it a wealth of experience and innovation encapsulated in over 200 patents. These patents cover a variety of technologies, notably the patented Continuous Digital Light Manufacturing (cDLM) technology utilized in the Envision One platform. Additionally, the acquisition encompasses expanded offerings under the Desktop Health brand, including the advanced Einstein DLP printer line and a range of materials such as Flexcera—a hybrid nanoceramic resin which is FDA-cleared for use in dental prosthetics.
By integrating EnvisionTEC's portfolio, SprintRay not only adds proven technologies and a solid customer base to its operations but also positions itself to enhance the services offered to both dental labs and chairside applications. With this merger, SprintRay aspires to lead in innovation and set new standards in the field of dental 3D printing.
Dr. Amir Mansouri, Co-founder and CEO of SprintRay, articulated the essence of this acquisition, emphasizing that it aims to ensure that existing customers have continuous access to the tools and support they rely on. He stated, "Our mission to transform dentistry through accessible, reliable 3D printing technology hasn't wavered. This strategic move reinforces that commitment."
