How long does it take to make a single unit crown?

if i may pry....how many techs do you have working in your lab, and how many crowns per day are they putting out?

Total 53 employees currently, full service.

For C&B it’s 26 techs, 3 supervisors and one manager doing about 200 units per day
120 mono zirc, 15 mono emax, 65 layered (zirc, emax, pfm) about 20% implants is a typical day.

Removable is about 25% of the business right now but growing fast.

I've tried both and then just settled with Artimax. I prefer the pins. I've done full arches with Artimax with every single tooth pinned with no issues. I feel like I couldn't do that with monotrac since the sections can only be so thin before they just move around and lose integrity closer to the base.

The system is definitely aimed towards the Doctor sending a triple tray but even if you get single quads you can easily pour with no issues and still with better timing than pouring a base.

Agreed, it was a tossup between artimax and monotrac for us too.
Pin and base just has too much uncontrolled expansion with plaster bases and I hate pin wobble. I like going to the solid as an afterthought instead of re-grinding contacts.
