As a pioneer in the field of domestic dental digital 3D printing, Prismlab (hereinafter referred to as "Prismlab"), located in Songjiang, Shanghai, has since2005FoundingTo date, it has been committed to driving the industry’s cutting-edge development through continuous technological innovation. With outstanding achievements in the research, development, and application of 3D printing technology, the company has been recognized as a national-level “Little Giant” enterprise specializing in refined, distinctive, and innovative products.

From a macro-industry perspective, China’s dental 3D printing sector is entering a period of rapid growth. According to professional data from Prismlab, the market size of China’s 3D printing industry is projected to exceed $10 billion by 2025. However, industry development remains constrained by three major technical bottlenecks: insufficient supply of high-performance materials, persistently high production costs, and the need for further maturation of equipment processes.

Addressing these industry pain points, Prismlab has built a comprehensive technological innovation system, achieving breakthroughs across four dimensions: core equipment, key processes, specialized software, and specialty materials. Among these, the most disruptive "Sub-pixel Micro-scanning Technology" achieves, under equivalent conditions, through an innovative pixel reuse mechanism,100-Fold Increase in Precisiontechnological leap, successfully overcoming the world-class technical challenge of simultaneously achieving high precision, high efficiency, and a large build area.

In the field of medical device R&D, Prismlab has strategically adopted a dual-track development approach: first,Focusing on Micro- and Nano-Scale 3D Printing Technology, Continuously Breaking Through Precision LimitsSecond,Expand Large-Format 3D Printing Capabilities to Meet Mass Production DemandsThe company has successfully launched multiple mature product lines, including the RP600 and RP400 series, as well as the SP and CP series. At the forefront of micro-nano printing technology, its independently developed MP-36-3L and MP-00-10L systems have achieved ultra-precise printing accuracy at the 2-micron level, placing them at the industry’s leading edge.

In terms of material technology innovation, Prismlab has developed a series of high-performance specialized materials for different clinical application scenarios.Material , comprehensive coverage of implantationTooth, orthodontic treatment,Mouthcavity-repair ceramics, and other niche sectors.Meanwhile, the company and globalChemical IndustryBASF, the industry leader, reaches a deep strategic partnership, fully leverageUseIts International BrandImpactStrengthand Global DistributionNetwork, compared toLargesignificantly enhanced market penetration and competitive advantage.

Through years of technological accumulation and market expansion, Prismlab has embarked on a steady path of development. Its corporate growth trajectory further underscores its sustained innovation capabilities—2013Officially Entering the 3D Printing Sector,2017Become Angelalign’s Largest Strategic Partner,2018Spearheading the National Key R&D Program of China,2020Establish a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with BASF,2022Successfully CompletedRMB 200 millionSecured financing and was certified as a national-level "Little Giant" enterprise specializing in refined, distinctive, and innovative fields.

As a high-tech enterprise driven by technological innovation, Prismlab deeply understands the strategic importance of industrial ecosystem development. Currently, the company has established a comprehensive R&D and production system, forming a multi-layered industrial layout: in the upstreamHai Jianyou2600sq mHeadquarters R&D Center and1500Square metersPrecision ofIntelligent Assembly of 3D Printing EquipmentFactory, inChangzhouEstablishmentwith an annual production capacity of600TonPhotosensitive Resin Intelligent Manufacturing Base, while at the same timeNoneTin has built scaleRanked"Leading in China"3D Printing Industry Cluster, forming a complete industrial chain with coordinated development.

Prismlab’s technological innovation is underpinned by a robust talent foundation. Its core team brings together top industry experts across various professional fields, including software development, hardware integration, materials science, and sales and operations, with key members possessing over16 years... extensive industry experience. The team has successfully established a closed-loop ecosystem encompassing the entire industrial chain, from material R&D to software development, and from process optimization to equipment manufacturing, providing downstream enterprises with highly integrated one-stop digital solutions.

Looking ahead, Prismlab will strategically position itself across three core growth tracks: first,Advancing the Application and Translation of Micro/Nano-Printing Technology in High-Precision Medical Devices, with business scale expected to double over the next three years; secondly,Accelerating the Global Expansion of Turnkey Dental Application Solutions, following its initial foray into overseas markets in 2023, the company achieved tens of millions in revenue in 2024; thirdly,Enhancing Overall Product Competitiveness Through Continuous Technological Innovation and Iteration，Consolidate Industry Leadership，Develop a variety of consumables compatible with Prismlab’s sub-pixel micro-scanning technology, including resins, ceramic powders, and metal powders.

Notably, in the field of high-end medical devices, Prismlab has proactively laid out R&D and large-scale production of high-precision medical components such as drainage pins for minimally invasive surgery. The ultra-precision manufacturing processes in these areas have long been monopolized by European, American, and Japanese enterprises. However, Prismlab’s independently developed micro-nano 3D printing technology, with its breakthrough precision advantages, is poised to achieve key technological breakthroughs, break foreign technical barriers, and promote independent innovation in domestically produced high-end medical devices.

Leveraging its profound technological expertise, Prismlab is innovatively integrating “industrial-grade standardized production” with “medical-grade personalized customization” to create a “precision medicine digital solution” with distinct Prismlab characteristics, setting an industry benchmark for the large-scale application of 3D printing technology in the high-end medical sector.

3D printing in dentistry has always been a field brimming with imagination. Prismlab redefines the notion of “detail-obsessed” through micro- and nano-scale “precision.” In this world where accuracy is pursued down to the micron, they are not only “sub-pixel artists” but also a group of technology explorers dedicated to “breaking through precision barriers.”Utilize a diverse range of printing materials, including resins, ceramics, and metals, to meet broader application requirements.

Over 18 years, Prismlab has transformed from a mere equipment supplier into a provider of full-industry-chain solutions. This evolution mirrors its 3D printing technology: seemingly slow, yet in reality, it is building the future layer by layer.
