[QUOTE="DMC, post: 56388, member: 430"] Joe...you need to pull out all tricks and options to get something back from your investment. If you are using 2.5mm tool for roughing, then go to 2mm. You now get much more units out of material. You have to shop around to find the best tools for the $$. This helps. Fix your own stuff. Sounds like you have enough to hire a guy to do that. Don't get replacement parts from manufacture. Dig deeper to find more savings! I get my parts for almost next to nothing, compared to what I would have paid. Are you wasting material on printing? Well, figure out how to cut it down. You should not have tyo re-touch the margins or alter the interior of crowns. That's the magic of CAD. It removed undercuts and makes cement spacer for ya. I see saving in those steps. You don't? Can you scan in a more efficient way? Design Two or Three at a time as fake bridge? Export them as a Trio-team? What do you spend every year in service agreements? That is pretty much my only profit. If I had to pay for that....I'd be broke! 4-5 mills, a printer, scanners, ovens, etc = $70k a year+ in service!! LOL That's what I save every year. Almost what I make. I bet I could help you guys rock and roll with this stuff. All employees at my lab have minimum of Two screens to do multi-tasking while at a scanner. Some of us run Three or more. I have a guy, Brad, who runs over Ten programs at once on many many screens. He divides up and calculates Zirconia all day, converts files, fixes CAD stuff, and re-works many files brfoe going to the printer in another facility. No scanner at all. It is pretty tough, but the day flys by fast when you are occupied. He sees 2-300 teeth every day and remembers almost all of them. The whole time he is also on the phone. You have your team whipped into shape like this? You have to make each day fun, or your team will go mental and slack-off. I'm sure there are other ways to get the job done? This works for me so far?
