Looking into buying a Scanner

[Glenn Kennedy]

Finally got around to cleaning out the garage Glen ?

Happily, we just had to clean out a closet in the spare bedroom since we get so few scanners in for repair.

Hello Everyone,
Im looking into buying a desktop scanner for the lab. Where should I start? What do each of you recommend based on your experience. Should I go with 3shape, exocad, dental wings, ect ect. I need support from a re seller that WILL be there when I need them. I have experience with the Planscan and Romexis (Very simple workflow IMO) Which was purchased through Henry Shein and they have done a great job helping me get along when I Need them. Looking to get something that I can have up and running in a short amount of time. I want to do more than single unit and bridges. I would like to get into partial framework design, custom abutments, digital dentures and more. Basically Im looking for the best system that can do the most and at a good price. Any insight from DLN would be greatly appreciated.

So how much do you have to pay for support after one year?

So how much do you have to pay for support after one year?

a scanner is such a simple item people make it out to be more than it is there isn't much support necessary and after a few months of owning the scanner you will know all the ins and outs. if you call us after the first year with a simple question no one will charge you. If you hire a new tech who will be calling in a lot $750 for the year

Most of my calls are pertaining to software. Material files and upgrades etc.

You'd be paying roughly half what you're paying now for updates, optional of course as your software doesn't lock up after a year... Depending on the reseller you should be free to monkey with the material/library settings as much as you want...for an open system DME's are not necessary. The hardware can be used out as a standalone unit as well, doesn't need to be bundled with a CAD package...is not a doorstop if you ever decide to sell it...

Upgrades are great if you are upgrading the cases you receive.
I'd love to do guides, for example, but it seems patients can barely afford implants these days.

Confirmed. Medit has a repair center in California.

¿Can you post the contact info por favor?

 

[Glenn Kennedy]

If you have an issue with a Medit scanner:

1. Contact your dealer*.
2. If your dealer is not able to solve the problem or suspects a hardware issue they will contact Medit.
3. A Medit technician will contact you to diagnose the issue.
4. If the scanner needs to be serviced a loaner scanner will be sent to you under our Hot Swap program.
5. When the loaner arrives you can use it's packing materials to ship your unit to our US based service center (shipping information will be provided with the hot swap loaner unit).

*If you do not know who your dealer is please contact Medit directly through our support request form:http://meditcompany.com/technicalsupport/

Dear Glenn , i am Dr Rajesh Patil having a company and lab in India. Do you have any idea how much Medit Identica Blue and Identical Hybrid cost in US in USD. Also is it good enough?

 

[Glenn Kennedy]

Dr. Patil,

I sent you a PM to put you in touch with the person who manages India for Medit.

be reeeeal careful buying shining3d stuff.

if you have sensitive development ideas they like to snoop on you.

 

[Manny Ramirez]

... mmm is that what they did to you?

 

[CoolHandLuke]

not directly, no. one of our partners in france. once we partnered with them, suddenly Shining3d is selling their product and advertising what we have been developing, as though it was done and sellable, and that they had any right to sell it.

You must patent your stuff, my friend! Otherwise, is Open Source

 

[CoolHandLuke]

we have 5 patents. 2 of them are patents granted in china. despite that...
