Sprinting Towards the Future of Digital Dentistry
Description
In this episode of the Decoding Digital Dentistry podcast, Dr. Ahmad Al-Hassiny chats with Amir Mansouri, the CEO of SprintRay, a key player in the 3D printing industry for dental applications. They discuss the humble beginnings of SprintRay and its entrance to the dental market in 2016 due to a successful Kickstarter campaign. The co-founders, 3D printing experts from the University of Southern California, initially focused on high-resolution 3D printers. Amir outlines the advancements in 3D printing and its growing appeals to dentists who see the value in in-house manufacturing. The company's future plans include further investment in R&D to make the printers 'microwave easy' and improve the material science aspect, making it easier to print with more variety in shade and translucency. Additionally, SprintRay is investing in software and automation, anticipating a future where digital dentistry is as common as a dental chair in every practice.
