I attended a lecture given by Lee Culp in Chicago over the weekend. He mentioned that they use a printer in their lab that he highly recommends: formlab2($3500). Our lab currently has a zenotec mini mill. We mill all our full contour wax in the mill. We also employ a waxer to do all our single unit copings and frameworks. We will need another mill in the next year or two. I would like to get your feedback on possibly incorporating this printer into our work flow. This printer would free up the mill to just do zirconia. I am wondering how a printer would benefit my lab in ways I am not aware of. Also, we hand wax all our veneers because the milled wax veneers just don't fit as well: too loose. Would a printed veneer fit any better than a milled veneer? Thanks for your input!
