[QUOTE="greeny, post: 84532, member: 6912"] It's good to know that you aren't using raw stl data to mill the interfaces. However, there still a lot of advantages to using the process in WorkNC for many of our customers (and potential customers) - just maybe not [B]your [/B]process. Please remember that Datron is a machine manufacturer and our goal is to provide the best solution for [I]many [/I]different lab's process. WorkNC gives us that flexibility (like when a customer is using 3shape and their interface is output as part of the stl and their XML only contains the location and axis for each implant). When you say it's so much easier, we're talking about 2 mouse clicks and 5 seconds, so that's being a little dramatic (especially considering the added customization the user has when needed). Anyway, I'll comb though this thread and answer some of your concerns when I get a chance - there are a lot of things that were said that isn't the case and I'll do my best to explain why. Datron also has customers using Sum3D to create their parts, and because we have over 70 machines worldwide, we have the luxury of actual field testing many, many processes to cut bars and implants (our customers are very good at reporting what's working for them and what's not). This is why we've decided to use WorkNC in house in the US... however, as I said, remember Datron's goal - to integrate the D5 into a lab's current design process (and offer an alternative if we/they think it's necessary). This is most easily accomplished in many cases with WorkNC's added flexibility. I hope you can understand where we're coming from and personally speaking, getting into an overly lengthy discussion (which appears to have turned into an argument from your "passionate" posts;)) about CAM software that Datron didn't even design, for reasons unrelated to [I]our [/I]applications, is very low on my list of priorities. LOL In the meantime, here's another case we designed on exocad and calculated using WorkNC last Friday. I'll post more detailed pics of the finish quality in our vendor thread: [attach=full]11507[/attach] [attach=full]11508[/attach] [ATTACH=full]11507[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]11508[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
