Lab Technician Available.. Cali- Oregon- WA? Vegas?

[Andrew Priddy]

Hey All,
At the end of the month I will be driving up to Seattle from Austin, looking for a new Lab to land in, preferably in a quiet Coastal town.

My CAD capabilities include:

3Shape

• Abutments (All Systems/ platforms, including multi-base systems)
• Bars/ Hybrids
• Models (minimal exp)
• Full Gold
• SLM
• DPM
• e.max
• Temps
• Trios and Carestream

Nobel

• Abutments
• Some Bar exposure

InLab

• Design/ Milling

I Am very familiar with external Manufacturing with

• Atlantis
• Biomet LDA/LDE
• Nobel
• Argen
• Axis
• CMC

Bench Capabilities Include

• 10x margin refining
• Waxing Copings-Diagnostic Waxing
• Layering Zir/e.max (anterior and posterior)
• Zirconia full process- from design to final stain/glaze
• e.max full process (pressed and CAD)
• Layering PFM's (posteriors mainly) when there is overflow
• Titanium refining
• Gold finishing
• Bars (acrylic for casting)
• Finishing PMMA
• Working with Light Cure (light extent)

My typical day might include sitting down and processing the Zirconia right out of the sintering oven, stain/ glaze, get it in the porcelain oven.. go design and mill, or start layering. I am productive working in batches and multi-tasking.

Although I wouldn't consider myself phenomenal at anything, I've gotten very good at a wide spectrum of processes, and the use of materials.

My ideal interview would be so sit down with a porcelain oven, high and low speed hand piece, and a bunch of cases in front of me... show me some cases that have been thru QC, and let me get to work! I have my own high quality brushes, pallets, calipers, carvers, drivers.

Drop me a PM and let me know if you are interested, I can send you a link to my photos of my work.
Thanks for reading this long drawn-out post.
Andrew

John, nice to hear from you.. I almost contacted you to see if we could swing in and say hi, but were really burning time to get in to Lompoc.
Stunning area BTW..
