[QUOTE="Chad Gardner, post: 301810, member: 20677"] Ok. I see my wife has been posting on my account! Lol. I’m going to start this business for the main reason of giving her a way to make an income if something happens to me. I have been diagnosed with a very, very treatable cancer, but it’s not a guaranteed 100% treatment. She has an associates degree from LSU in lab technology where she won the Deans award. She already designs my smile makeover and TMJ cases on my omnicam, AND manages my office which is an extremely high production practice with her as the captain. I think I’m going to go with the Roland 52D, dry only. As much as I despise Sirona, she and I know their chairside design software in and out. Would you guys recommend I go with inLab and the .stl export module, or would you recommend another CAD software? Also, any input on desktop scanners? ANY ideas are greatly appreciated, but please no vendors unless you are offering true information and not plugging a product. I have her a 1500 sq ft lab built in the second story of my office. We plan to mill my large cases and accept triple trays from the other 4 local DDSs, which all still use PFM-NP. From there, I’m going to let her take it where she wants. I figure, God forbid I don’t make it, the building is paid for, she can sell it but keep the lab for the buyer, move it home or whatever. With her business skills, she can do anything. Insurance is nice but we have 2 kids not far from starting college and I figure a $50-75k investment while I’m practicing and producing well could leave her with a solid income and if I end up ok (which statistically I will be) it’ll only help the practice. No pity party please. Just solid information/suggestions by you guys in the trenches. Thanks for any help [/QUOTE]
