Hi all,
I need info on model printing. I currently getting models from Intech for the true def scans, but now I also get caresteam scans. My first try was Argen and that turned out to be bad.
1. The occlusal clearance on the prep was way off. I had no space and when I steam cleaned all the parts, It was seating better, but made me worry.
2. the models (and die) are really tiny. I can barely hold on th the die and the cups for the vertex articulator were so close together, that I had to trim the arms and balls to get them closer together to be able to glue them in.
3. There are no stops to be able to put the two quad arches together correctly and I had a hard time to get them into a proper occlusion.
4they are WAAAAY too expensive. This tiny model cost me $40 incl model building but no extra contact model.
So here is my question:
What is out there?
Who prints models ? What price? Turnaround time? Model building?
What type of models are on the market?
I do like the cut intech models and prefer them over a die in a socket ( you never know when they are really seated)
I want a connector for a better articulator. I hate vertex.
I want an extra contact model
Hope you can help
