Is it really worthwhile milling or printing wax patterns?
I get that they (should) be more accurate and consistent, but surely the time it takes to scan and design and then mill/print before sprueing, investing and casting etc is way longer than just waxing by hand in the first place?
Doesn't it make more sense to scan and design and then mill in Zirconia? at least you end up with a (nearly) finished coping or framework?
Only asking because I'd like to dump the metal units for most cases and use zr instead.
