Have not had time to work on this furnace, but it probably needs 3 new elements. They were replaced, but it still seemed to contaminate the zirconia. It has not been used for three years, but I would finally like to decide the fate of this piece of equipment. Tried a few different techniques as...

Seriously thinking of moving the lab to a larger office. I really like "L" shape benches for work areas and would like to make arrays of four "Ls" (cubical like) as opposed to "school room" type arrangement. Anyone have suggestions from recent renovations or expansions? How about help with lab...

Interesting concept dual filament printer that prints Valplast and a support material. You then finish, mill the teeth and bond. Anyone have any experience with this? I use FDM printers for various projects and like the simplicity and accuracy. We are looking into getting 3shape RPD and a...

Labwa does not have an Asiga. So why would you listen to him? LOL (No offense Labwa, we know you are a great guy). Read carefully! There is no tinkering, this is the real thing. I have had other printers and this is the best in value and performance. I got one of the very first Pro 2s last...

We are getting more requests for custom impression trays for implant cases. Simply don't have the desire or time to teach someone how to do it the "old way." I would like a digital solution that we can print. 3shape splint maker? Not into buying yet another 3shape module.... Maybe some other...

Our Asiga Pro 2 has been printing fantastic. Most of our models are implant cases and we have great fits with DIM analogs. I can't see why anyone would be interested in Formlabs hobby printers. The Asiga is faster, more accurate and user friendly. The Asiga is the real deal and has expanded our...

It is amazing that the guy that has just about single handedly destroyed the American lab industry by low pricing and indifferent quality decides that others are stupid.... According to JIm Glidewell, "In any business where price is the deciding factor, the dumbest competitor will get the most...

So why is anyone using this printer for models? Checking scans against Formlabs 2 printed models shows up to 200 um deviation.

For fun.....I scanned an impression with my D1000 and printed a model. Really a viable workflow with excellent results. If I had to do lab work alone I would never pour another model. Tried some different model and die options. The DMEs that WM gives you are the best place to start (not used in...

I got a D1000 last year from Ivoclar and have been very pleased. I was going to trade in my D700, but after considering the different versions of design software that we run (the D1000 uses new scan software) it was better to keep it as a backup, and handle overflow work. Nothing better than...

The Nobel "universal base" is not part of their IOS workflow. You can't "choose" it after selection IOS. It is only from a desktop scan with Elos scan bodies. They do plan to validate it for IOS and add it soon.

Anyone have any experience with this machine? The specs can be found on their website. The good points are that WM will be developing their own resin for this system in a few different colors. Not especially large build plate but possibly enough for four vertical full arches or possibly eight...

Model technician with the interest and ability to make implant and crown and bridge models. Understanding of scanning techniques and digital workflow helpful. Experience with investing, pressing emax also helpful. This is a full time job with health care, paid vacation and competive starting...

It is good we are getting more Trios cases, but it has taken horrendous a twist. We are getting more implant cases and trying to figure out the different model workflows. Many companies do not have digital solution for their products. Now attempting larger cases with multi unit interfaces (for...

I know that I have heard about issues like this but have never experienced it myself. Patient recall after 1 year and her emax crown is very grey. Notes from insertion that patient and Dr liked the original shade. He used Unicem a self prime and bond cement. Good practitioner who has done a lot...

Pm sent Labwa. Thank you!

Ok that did not work. We made a new work order with the Ti unbiased selected. There are three files each in the upper and lower folders. Tried two of them. So which do we import? The coordinates are not being transferred.

Thanks guys will try this afternoon!

We saw this when the elements of our furnace started to go bad. At first I thought it was free silica that was sluffed from the elements and was on the surface of the tray. When it went through the next heating cycle the silica was wicked into the zirconia where it touched the tray. Only on the...

Not so simple. They send us a scan late in the afternoon and expect a temp crown by 12PM the next day delivered to the general dentist. It is a major disruption to workflow and delivery schedule. We explored milling small models but that took two plus hours. I'll probably only do it for my...
