we started using Itero system about 1-2 month ago.. but recently we are not happy with what Itreo guys said.. When they first introduced that scanner, they said it's only 25$ per a model... but it's not. they charge additional 20 bucks for dentists.. so it is 45$ model work.. insane.. Jimmy(my boss) was so mad when he heard that..
and also what I don't like is they sent model with wrong bite several times.. so do not trust machine too much.. check every case before you started. The surface is still too rough.. they said it will be improved in the future.. but I'm still not happy with their surface even fuctional surface.. However, the margins are damn precise.. I compared the margins and adaptaion with a die which was poured with traditional method.. itero's model was more precise. and as TheLabGuy said it's made of very hard plastic but it's carvable.. it's made of polyurethan.(is my spell correct? )
anyway if the price is more reasonable with better surface, it's a good choice. the price of the machine is not that expensive compared with cerec 3d and another competitor 3M's comming intraoral scanner.. the price of itero scanner is 18,000$.. other brande is like between 30-40 grands.. I will upload picture about this machine next time.. but if you want a peek, visit my Korean blog below and click "photo" then goto "Dental lab related" section.. the first article is about i-tero system.. but I guess you guys cannot read Korean.. so I'm going to translate that article here soon.
