My Exobad scanner is just not as accurate as 3shape, and Exocad needs tweaking a lot to make me a happy camper... Example today,,, simple FCZ bicuspid comes back with totally open mesial contact......occlusion is fine. Contact in design showing in Blue as usual and this crown shouldn't have a...

Plan to start using SLM frames and an alternative to casting and wanted to ask opinions be it good or bad. I like the idea of being able to offer in NP, N, and HN without have to stock different alloys, and being able to offer flat pricing. Haven't checked with Argen to see if HN SLM is offered...
