i should have put money on it
anyway you only need to print a model for two reasons.
1. its a layering case
2. its an implant case.
everything else is fast, easy, and model-free. printing the resin to cast the gold - or press the unit. even partials with the right eye for design in theory could be printed and cast and finished sans model.
but again, that is totally depending on your design and your consistency in investing, and knowledge in devesting. personally i wouldn't go that far yet (model-free in cast partial) but i can envision the method to approach it.
printed models for everyday cases are a waste of time, money, and material, unless your dentists specifically ask for one i wouldn't do it.
I agree it's a waste of money but my clients aren't sold on model-less work and if there is a problem with fit the model can be used as a "calibration" or reference point
Do you do layer cases off 3d prints? How the feedback on fits and adjustments?
On a pressed case wouldn't you use a model to adjust contacts and occlusion since it grows a little after pressing?
