[QUOTE="murtonm, post: 30795, member: 3149"] Many Thanks for your info Charles. I have seen on here that wax printing appears to be the way forward although I don’t know very much about it. Milling/printing speed is not so important to us as we are a very small lab and we are not exactly churning units out but the cad side of things would allow us to take on more work. I also take your point on the cost per unit as with printing I assume you get much less wastage. I would be interested to find out if anyone has any info on their wax printers and approx setting up costs. I would also be interested to find out more about the Roland wax mill as we only do a small proportion of zirconia units and would be happy to outsource. With regards to the scanner we are completely undecided as yet. As I have found out from the forum the 3m scanner is probably the most accurate but in the UK is only available locked to 3m. Their coping prices are a much higher price and I don’t think I could link it to an in-house wax mill/printer. I could be wrong on this and if anyone has any info otherwise I would be very grateful. Thanks again for your help Malcolm [/QUOTE]
