I heard a lot of comments about this topic outside of this forum so I thought I'd add my 2 cents here.
Having an ill-fitting CAD CAM bar remade is an expensive proposition. Most CAD CAM companies say that if you laser weld a CAD CAM bar, it will void the warranty. I'll pick up the warranty because this really isn't a big deal if you understand titanium welding.
Titanium welds well with low energy, higher hits/second and LOTS of argon.
Add titanium wire to each side until you have contact in the center. Tack weld on each side to join the pieces. Then, adding Ti from side to side, backfill the connection from the center out. The welds should look shiny. A little polishing and you're good to go. Should take less than 10 mins.
