Know your numbers, your costs and your margins. Then you can make an informed decision on what to charge and where your prices should be.

Not nessicarily in agreement with price points but this is very important to do to everything lab you work in/are running offers . Thanks for posting this I am still learning so much on daily so it helps big time to see how others are doing it .

There must be labs taking a loss on the models. I charged full for the models and only saw 3 cases from that Dr. He went back to his old lab. I would have liked the extra work but not willing to take a $60 hit on every case. I heard through the grapevine his complaint with the old lab was that they charged him for some remakes lol cheap bastard.
The real problem is labs not charging for the model and the Dr's who are not willing to pay for the technology. (And maybe the crappy sales people who never mention the cost of the models)

And for what he needs model if entire work is done digitaly? ..i print models only if i see there are undercots so i mark them on the model ...i print mockup models but pricing them per unit of teeth ..

Just starting down the dentist scanned path.(have been doing our own scanning in of models for a while). If you're not designing your own crowns; are you getting them back not having to adjust ? If so ,where are you getting them done?
I would love to go modeless but so far I've tried 3 different mills (that design) ,and I'm left guessing if the models or crowns are accurate.
to send out crowns not having tried on models because if they fit in the mouth like they do on printed models I'll get them back.
