[QUOTE="LA Ceramics, post: 141025, member: 9814"] Cost efficient? I suppose that would be true but we use it to do things like screw holes, bars, prettau bridges, models, true to life morphology, and refined margins etc. etc.. Most of what labs mill is done in 4 axis. Think of it like this,..In most 4 axis dental milling machines, the 1st and 2nd axes (X and Y) are the "To and Fro" movements of the block, the 3rd axis (Z) is the "up and down" or "in and out" of the spindle, the 4th axis (A) is the 180 degree "flip" of the block. These movements are efficient and also well suited to the internal part of a crown because it basically cancels out the possibility of an undercut. The 5th axis (B) is the "Tilting of the z axis"and is most commonly accomplished by employing an arm to angulate the fixture. When you put them all together this allows you do go in and out of the block at different angles during the cutting of a piece of work. Now you have the ability to do undercuts, create divergent screw holes and orientate a bridge in a block at the best possible angle for fitting it into a thinner, more COST EFFICIENT(haha) sized block. I hope that this helped some of you a little and for the rest of you (names withheld) I hope that you found it amusing [/QUOTE]
