[QUOTE="k2 Ceramic Studio, post: 41901, member: 1067"] Not sure why people can't get there head around this, the greater the file size in KB the greater the scan full stop, the more information a scanner can capture and convert into data point/triangles the greater the overall fit. As a 5000+KB scan has maped the area of a prep more than a 1000KB scan. And it's OK to laugh at the science but just wait till that big bridge comes through the door and it takes you two hours to fit it down because the scan capture data was OK for single units and small bridges but when you have divergent preps with undercuts thats when the fun starts. Even with a high end mill unit, if the scan data is limited then the mill will only produce as good as it is given. Great software is loads of fun to play with but if the scan data is poor then does that not make the software a wast of time. [/QUOTE]
