Case Study: Baron Grutter DDS achieves lower aligner production costs and improved case acceptance with SprintRay 3D printing

Baron Grutter DDS - Customer Case Study

Dr. Baron Grutter DDS, a dentist at Happy Rock Dental, was facing the challenge of high costs and scheduling dependencies associated with outsourcing clear aligner production from large labs. This made the treatment cost-prohibitive for many of his patients. Seeking a more affordable and predictable solution, he turned to SprintRay and its MoonRay 3D printer to bring the entire aligner fabrication process in-house.

By implementing the SprintRay 3D printing solution, Dr. Grutter significantly reduced his overhead. The material cost for a full-arch model was reduced to around $2, allowing the investment in the SprintRay printer to pay for itself after only 3-4 cases. This cost savings improved case acceptance for patients and expanded his treatment options to include smaller cases that were previously not economical to outsource, driving practice growth.
