but i was among the pioneers of those in 2008-2009 when 3shape didn't have copy-wax techniques, didn't have full anatomy modules, and didn't have locks on their file formats.
i crashed 4 computers making "copings" (that werent copings) when i worked for Aurum group bringing digital the works of Moses and Abraham, famous waxers of a bygone era.
Sam here, as the other was Dental Wings, and that wasn't going to happen. Exocad may have just started but had yet to be offered by any of the 6,000 3Shape resellers.
