Digital dentistry has progressed beyond measure, moving towards a future that is led entirely by technological advancements. For many practices, the challenge is no longer whether to adopt digital workflows, but how to implement them for maximum efficiency, scalability, and return on investment.
Despite the rapid technological development, not all systems are designed for the same purpose, and not all workflows deliver the same clinical outcomes.
Sourcing a solution
Relying on a single system for every indication can lead to inefficient workflows, while also limiting the clinical outcomes achievable from such a significant investment. Instead, success comes from selecting equipment that aligns with the specific needs of your practice and patient base.
SprintRay offers two purpose-built solutions for high-quality restorative care—the Midas Digital Press System (DPS) and the Pro 2 DLP 3D printer. each designed to support distinct workflows within modern digital dentistry. Rather than competing, these systems are engineered to complement one another.
The choice between the two depends on clinical priorities. Chairside workflows demand speed, simplicity, minimal intervention, and reliable accuracy, particularly when delivering same-day restorations. In contrast, production printing workflows prioritise volume, scalability, and the ability to manage multiple indications simultaneously.
Midas: King of chairside
SprintRay Midas has been engineered with speed and simplicity at its core. Designed for chairside restorations, it is a digital press system that uses a capsule-based workflow to streamline production without compromising predictability.
This approach enables restorations to be produced within a streamlined same-day workflow, supporting efficient and patient-focused treatment. The system also removes much of the complexity associated with traditional ceramic 3D printing processes, requiring minimal space while maintaining a high output-to-footprint ratio. With fewer variables to manage, it offers a straightforward learning curve and consistent, repeatable results.
The latest addition to the Midas workflow is the Crown HT resin. Setting a new standard in chairside aesthetics, Crown HT is a high-translucency restorative material powered exclusively by the Midas. With excellent shade fidelity and smooth surface finish, the resin is perfect for a myriad of restorations, including anterior crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers – all produced chairside. The Midas’ patented DPS also means that Crown HT can offer ceramic-filled strength with more than 60% ceramics and exceptional optical properties, without compromising on other essential qualities.
For practices focused on patient experience, Midas supports reduced chair time and streamlined workflows, enabling high patient throughput without added complexity.
Pro 2: Supports 15+ indications
With Midas optimised for speed and simplicity, SprintRay Pro 2 has been developed to support precise, high-throughput production across a wide range of applications. Pro 2 offers next-level versatility, supporting over 15 workflows, from splints and surgical guides to dentures and clear retainers – each with consistency and efficiency.
The system is also designed to simultaneously manage multiple workflows, meaning that practices can offer high-volume production, interchange between materials, and prioritise appropriately each day. Despite this flexibility, accuracy remains central to its design. The Pro 2 has been engineered for high precision, supported by refined resin profiles and the patent-pending Optical Panel technology.
This scalability also supports business growth as more production can be brought in-house rather than outsourcing to laboratories. As more production is brought in-house, turnaround times are reduced and greater control is maintained across the treatment process.
Not comparable…but complementary
It might be assumed that one system must replace another, however, they are designed to serve different clinical requirements . Midas focuses on chairside speed and simplicity, while Pro 2 enables scalable, multi-indication production. Both deliver efficiency and both deliver excellence—just in different ways.
Rather than attempting to use a single system for every clinical scenario, dental professionals should evaluate which workflows best align with the needs of their practice. SprintRay provides complementary solutions designed to support digital dentistry at every level, helping practices to grow and scale with confidence.
