[QUOTE="Labwa, post: 215674, member: 1874"] We run an Envisiontec 3Dent for models and a Orthodesk for our guides. 3Dent is reliable and prints as far as I have seen, market leading surface texture. But more importantly it is a very dimensionally accurate printer. the Orthodesk surface is not as great but it is also extremely dimensionally accurate. costs for materials are comparable. running costs are slightly higher on the 3Dent though.. As a side note there is a lot of misinformation out there regarding resolution and z steps when comparing accuracy...This is not a direct correlation. you can have a printer running 50micron voxel width on the x-y with a 50 micron Z step that will be more accurate than a 25 micron x-y Voxel at a 5 micron Z step. These cheaper printers struggle to achieve repeatable accuracy....This is based on my experience dealing with both cheaper and more expensive printers. [/QUOTE]
