Hello everyone, its been sometime since I have been on here due to personal family issues, but now that things are back to normal, I have been given the task at the lab to find welding wire for our AplhaLaser welder. We need to find a spool of Titanium wire that we can use to weld titanium. We...
Hell everyone, So I just received a call from one of our clients that we installed a Motion 2 DNA mill too, and now they are trying to change out the 98MM holder but the bolt is stuck and wont turn to unscrew. They tried WD-40 spray on the bolt, and that did not help. I suggested a good air...
Hello everyone, So i drew the short straw today, and got handed the task of trying to repair our Roland DWX-50. So our machine is no longer under warranty so we are on our own for repairs or pay a decent amount to get it repaired, so of course upper management wants us to try and fix it on our...
Hello everyone, so we have come across an issue with our Roland DWX-50 milling machine. So the other day, while milling a basic 3 unit bridge in Zirconia, I noticed when the spindle box moved along the rails there is a loud "clunking","clicking" noise coming from the spindle box by the rails as...
Hello everyone, so we have been dealing with a little issue since we started using Match 2(AG camming software). So when I go and try to nest a manual position screw retained crown everytime i go to proceed to generate the milling file I always get an error saying that there is no milling...
Hey everyone, so our one supplier that we get our PMMA and wax Blanks from sent us a free blank to try out. Its called Trilor(made by BioLoren). Its a fiberglass reinforced technopolymer material. Has a feel like Trinia material and is used just like you would use the Trinia material. I...
hello everyone. So the other day 2 of our heating elements in our Programat S1 sintering furnace cracked. It is no longer under warranty so we are on our own with the repairs. We got the new heating elements in yesterday. the problem we have is the tech who took it upon himself to take the...
Not sure if there is already a thread on wet milling PMMA(i didnt see one) but we had someone from AG come to our lab for a small training session on their material and he mention something about wet milling PMMA on our Motion 2. Said milling would be faster and tools would last a little longer...
hello everyone, so we started using the Zolid FX Zirconia from AG. We are using the pre-shaded and pure translucent materials. We have been getting good results but was just wondering if anyone tried sintering this zirconia using the 2 hr quick fire cycle. We do not currently own their oven...
Just looking for opinions and feedback about printing models for other labs. price numbers are for discussion only. nothing is set in stone nor is this for advertising. Just seeing if it would be worth while to start printing models for outsource purposes, and get peoples feedback who are...
So we have been using the same zirconia(Doceram) for a few years now. We recently got a phone call from one of our bigger accounts and they said when they went to take the radiograph xray to summit to insurance nothing showed up in the scan. Thought all zirconia was supposed to show up in a...
We are trying out the Ceramill Zolid FX Zirconia to see the difference from the Doceram material we are using now. Is there anyone else using this material that can give me the sintering table so I can make a program in my Sintering furnace since my current program is set for final temp of...
So we finally milled and Sintered our first Sintron unit. Results look great except that we ended up getting a black line(ring) around the margin. After talking to AG they said it sounds like we had a small gas leak from the tray(meaning that we may not have the cap and cover completely on)...
Is there anyone out there milling Sintron. We just got our furnace and material in today, but couldnt remember what type of tools to use for milling. Do you use a regular carbide tool or can you use diamonds like you would use with Zirconia. Thanks for the help
We just got our new Argotherm furnance for sintron. Just want people thoughts on how well it works and how much after sinter bench time is needed to get units ready for opaque
so we recently changed our milling system to full AG system. Mills and Camming software are all AG and we design with EXOCAD. when I try to nest a crown that was design with manual positioning the AG software doesnt recognize the file and gives me an error that it doesnt recognize the library...
