Yep. But I don't use it from C&B. Just implant stuff. Use 3Shape mostly.

@KentPWalton

And Yes?

If you don't mind me asking why you choose 3shape over imetric? Ease of use , more familiar with 3shape or is it a superior scanner? I'm in the process of deciding between the two. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I'm going to be using mainly for c&b and implants. Thank you! Sorry so long.

He doesn't pay the license fees.

Your questions are vague, but to answer your question, if I were doing C&B and implants alone, I would use 3Shape. Both Exocad systems and 3Shape have pretty good scanners, so that's really a mute point. I like the user interface of 3Shape better personally. Just flows better.

You guys in Florida take everything so seriously! Haha. I take nothing in here seriously...sometimes.

I called you in because I knew you give an honest opinion.

They wonder in Alabama why the ring for the finger is so big.

Thank you !! Wasn't trying to be vague just didn't want to take up your time. And to be honest all the fees that come with 3shape are detouring. Am I understanding rite there is also a fee to receive iOS files. I am a two person lab so coast is a factor for me. Thanks again for any input.

For what it's worth, I'd choose imetric ... with 3shape you're pretty much marrying to it, just think of resale and hardware upgrades

 

[cadfan]

Which imetric they have now 4 versions out

True...and I did...as always. You haven't answered my couple of calls.

Sounds like you had your mind made up already. Lol.

I rarely answer my phone, it rings all day. Texts on the other hand are replied to promptly....most times.

Well kind of. But I always value other piers input and was just making sure I'm not overlooking anything. However nothing is set in stone. Ha ha. Bad humor there

 

[charles hallam cdt]

L1m series is the one I'm looking at

Which imetric they have now 4 versions out

 

[Tayebdental]

Imetric and Stienbechloer scanners are very precise.
