[QUOTE="Beatrice, post: 163591, member: 1017"] We are using industrial scanner since 2001. We even had our scanner developed by the CNRC (Canadian National Research Center) the same team that had the privilege to scan the "Mona Lisa" couple of years ago. Industrial scanner will give you a very accurate scan BUT they are VERY VERY VERY hard to handle, need specific room, specific floor and a lots of knowledge just to adapt them to the dental world. I really don't understand what you are trying to achieve here, you will have to invest multiple millions $ (4-5 even more) to be able to mill 1 first piece, why you don't outsource yours needs or try to collaborate with ppl that have already this equipment (us could be an example, but there some few other out there if you look) Plus you want to use exocad software, it is a good software as good as 3shape or dental wings BUT if you look carefully all MAJOR players use their own software to mill bars, 3i use an industrial software, dentsply (ISUS) have their own developed for this purpose and Atlantis for custom abutment also use their own software. WE do have our own software for our bars and our anti-snoring device and are still developing other software for more purpose. So even if you get to the point to make everything work you will find that you lack something compare to those majors players and realize you will have to invest other millions $ just to get your software running and that it not considering time. Making an industrial scanner working will take many many month, we had to use couple of month to make it work and this is because we have years of experience of using industrial scanner for dental/medical field. And still, even with an industrial scanner, some will be fast but not precise enough for implant they will be not better than a good imetric scanner, just bigger and faster. Some technology will be limited in precision, like light scanner that project a pattern will never reach more than 5 micro of precision whatever all the company will claim, getting lower then that involve changing some physics laws...(well that could be very fun if you are able to do so!!). So well i wish you good luck in this project but be warn you getting in something hard and costly...really costly! [/QUOTE]
