[QUOTE="Terry Whitty, post: 131460, member: 11301"] Scott, So back to the point... the Maestro scanner was nothing that you thought it was and you criticised it without knowing so much about it...so maybe it is ok after all. Again I say it is doing me fine and I believe improving all the time. I really don't need to print anything for you.. if you already know the outcome it would be a pointless exercise. If you are happy with 3D Systems, great keep it up. No one said they were bad printers at all. In fact some of the stuff they have is awesome, but probably not for the average lab. If you really need some stuff printed to compare and want to post it Im sure Stratasys USA would be happy to print anything for you if you like. They would be far more qualified than me I'm sure especially non dental stuff. I think the previous post explained my opinion of 3d printing in general reasonably well. If you disagree, fine , the world still turns. Yes, Stereolithography was invented actually prior to 1986 in fact, but you know well I was not referring to that..and yes Charles "Chuck" Hull actually not Chuck Hall patented the process, did go on to form 3D systems.. and define STL file format, yadda yadda, it's all on the internet. So I guess Selective laser sintering was invented too in the 80's but "emerging" as in becoming more accessible is probably more correct way to describe it. Anyway I will let you know how the new Maestro scanner goes, when i get the new model, maybe you can have a look at some scans and let me know what you think? Short enough? [/QUOTE]
