    Table recommendations for Rolland Mill

    We use these - they have several mills and printers on them and we've never had any issues with vibration - its also nice that they are modular and easy to move around as the lab has grown/changed. We have them in a lot of different sizes. I also brought a few home to use in my garage and shed -...

    Let’s talk about Asiga

    hahaha I like your approach and respect it. I'd just prefer to have my $25,000 in a managed brokerage account getting an 11%-14% annual return for the small, small price of the leasing company taking 3.5% on a 5 year lease. Then by year 6 I own my 4K outright, my $25,000 is worth just under...

    Let’s talk about Asiga

    I agree - Over the last 3 years the rates offered by the capital equipment leasing companies have been hard to ignore too - I have grabbed a few private leases with a $1.00 buy out at the end at rates that were less than 1/8 of a percentage point higher than my bank LOC. They also threw in...

    Let’s talk about Asiga

    What reseller did all of you decide to buy from? How has the service/support been? We've considered adding an Asiga to our printer family, but I haven't looked into the best place to get one yet.

    Importing IOS work tickets across systems

    I'm sure we could convert a good majority of our existing Docs into having to export from their scanners - I'm just not sure how I feel about having to dump presenting that friction on my sales team when it comes to on-boarding new clients... My philosophy has always been that as a lab we will...

    Importing IOS work tickets across systems

    To clarify, the portal on our website would be asking the offices to physically export the file from their IOS system and upload it to our website? Additionally, I always thought Labstar and DDX are essentially lab management software? or are they simply pass-through from the IOS system to...

    Importing IOS work tickets across systems

    Hello laboratory braintrust - We are about to start discussing a project in-house that will be a HUGE undertaking - but before we do, I want to make sure no one else has found a solution??? Here is the situation - Our lab has seen a pretty solid and steady adoption of IOS from our accounts -...

    3shape Class Action

    I think it's important to remember that as a business owner we aren't "Given" anything - our actions dictate the fate of our organizations. If you feel this is a true disadvantage to your company, I recommend paying 3Shape to place a shortcut to your lab right next to the FullContour button...

    3shape Class Action

    I may have to bow out of this conversation as I'm just a fixed lab and from what I can see this must be a denture issue? I still do not see any advertisement at all via Full Contours website advertising to dentists to send direct for a completed product - and I've also never heard of anyone...

    3shape Class Action

    I'm confused by your concern - and someone please correct me if I'm wrong - but I do not view Full Contour as a competitor to our (or any) lab - am I missing something? Can a dentist work directly with Full Contour to manufacture restorations?

    Help Wanted Hey Friends!

    Its been over 1.5 years since I've logged into DLN! I have missed reading up on all of the incredible things you are all working on. I needed to cut down on my screen time after we relocated the lab last year, but now that things have settled a bit, Im allowing myself a little DLN time each...

    Christmas Bonus?

    We have done them for decades, but we had a lot of new hires this year and they seemed completely caught off guard when I handed them out... Are you getting/giving Christmas bonuses? Wishing everyone a successful 2017.

    Asset tags for Property Tax and Tracking

    I got mine from Uline (Uline.com) - they have been a great resource for a lot of this housekeeping type organization - reasonably priced too.

    receivables and collections

    This is a perfect business model - how did you transition long standing accounts? Our situation doesn't seem to lend itself to a sweeping transition. The lab has been around since 1962 - I have dozens of accounts that have worked with us for over 20 years. Like I said before, payment is not...

    receivables and collections

    Only about 6% of our accounts want to use a credit card. We are thankful that collections have not historically been an issue for us. Any problem I have ever had has been with an out-of-state account that found us via our website. Luckily, I did a year of research in business law at a local law...
