The story

Four decades, one focus.

1987

An optics company is born

Founded in Orange, California as a precision lens-assembly manufacturer — optical fabrication work that included assemblies built for NASA.

1994

The OEM years

Major dental brands build on our optics: camera lines including Accucam (Gendex), UltraCAM, ViperCAM, and ImageCAM ship with our engineering inside.

2003

Claris goes direct

We launch the Claris intraoral camera line under our own name — simple plug-and-play USB at a time when competitors still needed capture cards and docking stations.

2011

Clio enters the operatory

The Clio digital X-ray sensor line extends the optics heritage into radiography, refined generation after generation into our most trusted hardware.

2022

SOTA Cloud spins off

The cloud imaging software business becomes its own independent company, leaving the hardware business focused on what it builds best.

2026

Clio Imaging

The hardware business takes a new name of its own — Clio Imaging — carrying the same team, the same standards, and the same product lines forward.

What we optimize for

The same three things, every product.

Premium, without the premium

We engineer to the image quality the top brands are known for, then price for what the hardware costs — not for what a name adds to the invoice.

Engineered in California

Every product is designed, specified, and supported by our team in Orange, California — and made in the USA. When you call, you reach the people who know your device inside and out.

Service before and after the sale

Free 7-day Demo-by-Mail trials, remote installation help, and ClioCare support on every unit — because hardware is only half the product.
