Midas Can Print Materials Never Before
Possible, Upends Dental Industry Standards For Restorative
Offerings
Dental 3D Printing Innovation Could Spark
Advancements Across Multiple Industries
MIAMI, April 22,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SprintRay, the leader in dental
3D printing, unveiled the Company's most significant innovation
to-date to over 250 dental professionals at 3DNext, their summit in
Miami. The Midas Digital Press 3D
Printer is poised to not only transform dental restoration
practices but also inspires an entirely new understanding of the
future of 3D printing capabilities.
With Midas, SprintRay revealed the first and only Digital Press
Stereolithography (DPS) technology and patent-pending Resin Capsule
System, enabling the use of previously unworkable and highly
viscous resins with 3D printing. The combined product and
technology process sets an entirely new standard for what has been
previously possible in 3D printing.
"Materials, more than anything, have dictated what is possible
in the dental restoration field," said Amir Mansouri, Ph.D., co-founder and CEO of
SprintRay. "The introduction of Midas revolutionizes both the
manner in which material is transformed and reveals an entirely new
paradigm of what can actually be printed. Until now, materials like
ceramics were too thick for traditional 3D printers to handle.
Midas changes everything. Not only does this innovation handle
today's ceramic-based materials but sets the stage for future
advances in composites and ceramics. We are on the brink of a new
era in biomaterial innovation, and we're thrilled to be leading the
charge."
When Midas becomes available to dental professionals later this
year, it will be the first truly new 3D printing methodology to be
commercialized in four decades. Combined with SprintRay's all-new
AI Studio design software, chairside design and delivery of
restorations will be a faster and more seamless experience than
ever before.
Dr. Wally Renne,
DMD, a global leader in digital dentistry and co-founder
of MOD Institute, said, "SprintRay's Midas, in my opinion, is the
biggest breakthrough in dentistry since September 1985, when the first CEREC inlay was
milled. SprintRay has invented a new way to 3D print called
'digital press stereolithography,' easily enabling the chairside
fabrication of crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers. Their first
Midas resin will have over 70% ceramic filler and can be printed in
under eight minutes. And that's just the beginning. Their announced
partnership with Ivoclar for material development sets a tone for a
very exciting future. Digital dentistry was just upended."
Digital Press Stereolithography, No Training, Zero
Maintenance:
Midas and DPS eliminates viscosity limitations
and creates a new platform for material innovation. The patented
process removes the boundaries chemists have previously faced to
change the mechanical properties and aesthetics of resin. Midas is
the first 3D printer ever to use Digital Press Stereolithography
(DPS), eliminating the need for large resin vats and other reusable
parts. Utilizing a vacuum-sealed Midas Resin Capsule that can print
up to three units in less than eight minutes, Midas delivers an
incredibly clean, simple workflow without viscosity
limitations.
The AI Design Studio:
Complementing the printer,
SprintRay introduces AI Studio, a cloud-based design software that
automates the creation of dental restorations. AI Studio integrates
today with 3Shape, Dexis, and Medit scanners to give doctors the
ability to edit and change the design including margin editing,
positioning and adaptation adjustments, and edits to anatomy - all
without requiring any CAD experience. A single click sends designs
to Midas, including any STL design file from any dental design
software or lab for maximum convenience.
Future of Biomaterial Innovation:
"Midas has changed
what we view as possible in 3D printed materials. This new open
platform allows an entire industry of material science innovators
to explore a new galaxy of solutions. Biomaterial has a very
exciting future that is going to result in monumental benefits for
our customers and patients alike," said Ehsan Barjasteh, Ph.D., head of the SprintRay
Biomaterial Innovation Lab.
Midas and AI Studio, combined with NanoCure, signify a
monumental advancement in dental restoration manufacturing,
characterized by speed, simplicity, and groundbreaking innovation
in restorative materials. The waitlist for Midas is now open,
with deliveries set to begin in Q4 2024. For more information visit
