In regard to the funky tool, yes nice concept, but if you were to cut the material after you form a sheet, there is air pockets and also the material varies in thickness. A 3mm sheet should be a 3mm sheet not 2.8, 3.4, 2.5, air space, 2.8,air space, 3.5. So although a good concept, major MAJOR flaw.

When you have questions it is nice to deal with a company that ACTUALLY has a Laboratory, and makes appliances for a living instead of just dealing with a company that sells things in hopes to make a nice commission. Not only that, the material is less expensive using the Biostar Material instead of the Drufomat material. For those who do not know how to make mthgrds using the Biostar, you should contact the company that sells it, they have the technical support and answer questions immediately. Once again 5 months now, several phone calls later, still no answer to my Drufomat questions. I use my Biostar for all types of appliances, mostly ortho, but my partner who is a General Dentist uses the machine as well. He also shares my frustration with the Drufomat. The Biostar also comes with instructional DVD's, a free materials kit, free material, and the Technical Support to answer any questions. Let's face it you will have some. I guess that is why you see "ONLY" the Biostar in Universities. I used one that was pretty old in dental school, but that just shows you the work horse this machine is. Considering everything, the Biostar is the way to go. You will not be disappointed, unless you want to be then go ahead and get the Drufomat, LOL. Sorry, but it's true.</p></blockquote><p></p>
