[QUOTE="MetalMachine, post: 264500, member: 15957"] I don't see milling wax any benefits compared to waxing crown manually, unless you get intraoral scans. Scanning model + designing + milling takes more time than just waxing. And if you don't own a mill, milled wax costs 20 euros unit plus shipping. I have tried few demo cases, but fits were not good and milled wax was awful to fix. Weird, resilient consistency. I don't know if there is any better waxes nowadays. Working costs are really high here. That's why it really doesn't matter much if you pay 20 euros one milling puck per one crown or 20 euros one ingot per two crowns. Saving would be 10 euros which is lost during a piss break and much more time is lost. Time is the precious thing we are lacking. Casting mass, liquid, mental health, milling burs and wax aren't free either. Of course if you get 8 laminates from one ingot, situation would be completely different. [/QUOTE]
