[QUOTE="DMC, post: 41638, member: 430"] The difference is in the life of tool, and units per day out of a mill. Add that up, and the Ti unit will be around $30 You can probable do 2-3x the amount of units of soft Green metal compared to Hard Material. Then add 5-10x the cost of tooling per unit. More wear and tear on the mill... I'd imagine that the green metal would be not very thin at time of sintering and would require post manual finishing. I'm sure I could mill a Ti coping much thinner with crispy sharp edges. [/QUOTE]
