牙科3D打印机制造商SprintRayhas raised over $100 million in Series D funding, according to a交易街亚洲报告

而由软银集团的愿景基金2, SprintRay’s funding round was also supported by Yiheng Capital andZWC Partners, as well as long-term backersCD CapitalandMarathon Venture Partners。Using its newfound capital, the firm reportedly plans to build out its business beyond its traditional US and European target markets to generate more sales in Southeast Asia.

“The penetration of dental 3D printing solutions is rising fast in the US, amid the evolving user behavior and consumption patterns of dentists and patients,” Michael Yao, a Partner at ZWC Partners told Deal Street Asia. “SprintRay will become a truly indispensable brand to dentists when it can create up to 60% of dental products using 3D printing in the future, versus the current 10-20%.”

SprintRay’s DLP printing portfolio

SprintRay, a subsidiary of Zhejiang Xunshi Technology or ‘SoonSolid‘, was established in 2014 with the goal of bringing a low-cost, end-to-end 3D printing platform to dental practitioners around the world. Since then, the company has set up operations in China, the US, and Europe, from which it markets a Digital Light Processing (DLP) portfolio.

This offering primarily revolves around theSprintray Pro S 3D打印机, a system that’s built to be easy to learn, train, and delegate to staff in dental labs and practices. The machine is able to simplify adopters’ production workflows thanks to the RFID technology embedded in its resin tank, which allows it to track the progress of prints as well as many other parameters and trigger notifications to users.

In line with SprintRay’s mantra that its products are ‘simple but sophisticated,’ the unit also features an advanced chassis and all-glass construction that improve print stability and uniformity across the build platform. In tandem with its ancillary range of post-processing gear and materials, the SprintRay Pro S enables the production of dental crowns, models, guards, aligners, splints, and other dental models.

在过去的八年中,该公司在解决这些领域方面的成功已经显着增长,使一支近700人组成的团队,其中约有35%是研发专业人员。然而,桌面金属对Sprintray签订了禁令late last year, which has prevented it from selling the Pro S in Germany, thus its path toward growth has not been entirely smooth sailing.

Plotting a dental 3D printing expansion

在过去的五年中,Sprintray为运营和扩大业务的成本筹集了大量资金。该公司在2017年和2018年完成了天使的资金回合后,通过CD Capital和Marathon Venture Partners的投资在2019年10月获得了超过1亿元人民币(或约1,410万美元)。

随后是2020年11月完成的C系列资金回合,根据Sprintray的说法,它看到了它从The The The The The The的“数亿人民币”中筹集了China Life Investment Fund, an equity fund backed byChina Life

虽然Sprintray的筹款工作已经产生了许多中国公司的投资,例如智能手机制造商Xiaomifounder Lei Jun-ledShunwei Capital,其最新交易不同。软银集团不仅是日本的,而且其Vision Fund 2已经通过投资支持3D印刷公司冰淇淋’s $240 million raiseandFormlabs’ $150 million funding drive

Using the capital invested in it, SprintRay now plans to expand well past the US, which is its main market, further into Southeast Asia, as well as new areas like the Middle East, India, and Australasia. Given that the firm says its continued aim is to “revolutionize dentistry by bringing “affordable, easy, in-office manufacturing to every dental practice,” it’s also likely to shell out on product R&D moving forwards.

牙齿3D打印的竞争

随着添雷电竞充值加剂制造业在牙科领域的持续发展,能够解决该行业的3D打印机市场变得越来越具竞争力。雷电竞app下载今年早些时候,桌面健康推出了爱因斯坦, a system with a similar DLP architecture to the machines of fellow Desktop Metal firmETEC, and extensive potential dental applications.

Dentsply Sirona还引入了自己的Google云集成投资组合,由Primeprint 3D printer and PPU。前者由385nm轻型发动机提供动力,其目标与Sprintray Pro S类似,因为它旨在使牙医能够简单地生产模型,指南,临时性或夹板,而无需牺牲零件质量。雷竞技官网登录

Elsewhere in the industry,Formlabs长期以来,它在该领域销售了其系统,它继续迈向使其更容易获得的步伐。例如,2022年2月,与Medit合作的FormLabs为了使其Preform应用与制造商的Dental 3D扫描仪兼容,此后允许牙科用户简化其工作流程。
