[QUOTE="npdynamite, post: 343413, member: 11802"] I'm not sure if this is helpful for what you are trying to accomplish, and it is once again in context of being in the us. Firstly, I don't believe you will get anywhere trying to get their brand blanks so if you want to mill locally you will probably have to use 3rd party. Currently getting a custom milled Ti abutment from Zimmer/Biomet is absurdly expensive, so they probably aren't letting anyone else do it. Secondly, they do allow labs (at least in the us) to become encode enabled, which will allow you to "decode" their encode healing caps and print your own models that work with their dims. They charge a whole heck of a lot for this ability so if you aren't doing a ton of their products, it is definitely not worth it. The easiest way to work with models from a dr. who insists on encode would be to find an encode enabled lab that can get you either models or stl.'s for a reasonable price/turn around and just work from that like it's any other case.
