[QUOTE="ayane, post: 65235, member: 7222"] You're 100% correct. In a setting where you are limited by material manufacturer, because of your choice/license agreement with their milling machine, you are only hurting your business. Cost per unit might be lower but Zirconia is still a new(ish) material, many manufactures are still innovating and in open design with their sales product and sticking with a single manufacturer (not by choice) can limit you to choices that would otherwise improve your product and decrease your price per unit etc etc.(weather it be improved esthetics, improved material handle-ability, higher strength etc). However, I am not looking at this from a purely "price per unit" point of view, as most labs do. I only wish to get the most use out of what I eventually purchase, regardless of how much I've paid. With that being said, I'm sure someone will soon say "just buy a DMG ultra sonic and call it a day." Sadly, I don't have the space or throughput for such a machine. I'm looking for a tabletop.
