[QUOTE="KentPWalton, post: 138841, member: 7347"] IMO I think that accuracy is what you're trying to go for here with a printed model. Heck, the Dr. has a scan of the patient's mouth right? The whole purpose of that is to try to eliminate as many variables as possible like impression technique, stone expansion, etc. If the printer can't give you a more accurate model, then why not just go back to impressions and stone? If the standard is around 20 microns, then printing should be too. That's 100 microns!! What?!?! It's all about the patient. What's best for them. I LOVE printing, but I'm not going to spend any money when you're getting marginal accuracy. I would just wait until they improve the model printing towards the accuracy curve. [/QUOTE]
