[QUOTE="Slipstream, post: 21279, member: 1718"] If you buy a full CAD and Mill, it's a lot of machinery that unless you decide to become a milling centre for other labs. It will be pretty under utilised for what it is costing you. There is a lot to be said for keeping the design under your roof, and adding value to the outsourced milled restoration, after all thats what you ceramic guys do best. $100k of milling kit will never show you a return, a good CAD should be flexible to design whatever the market decides it wants next year and the one after, including printed castable resin and laser sintered metals. Biased, but another vote for 3Shape, still developing and following the market, rather than a done deal to feed one suppliers manufacturing abilities like some systems. [/QUOTE]
