[QUOTE="CWilliams, post: 329444, member: 22723"] For me personally, they aren't worth the mill time/ disc and bur cost- I think that's why printing them is advantageous but I haven't jumped into printing yet (I'm not a large producer of ortho and call me crazy I prefer stone working models). By the time I import or scan models to design, I can make one by hand. I find my ZZ software hasn't evolved to have a flat plane flow option- so I have to import a plane, try to align it against the opposing, tinker with the bite etc it's a PIA (if anyone's figured out a better way DM me!). I'm not sure what vacuum form you use, but we've never had luck with soft NG's they always peal and are super thick, might as well use a mouth guard. I switched to use the Duran 1.5 mm from greatlakes and their mono/ poly-> salt pepper-> pressure pot for 10 mins-> adjust bite-> pumice and rouge. Comes out to be like $4 a NG by hand, while my mill is the work horse for production that keeps me at a high profit margin for other things [/QUOTE]
