I have had such a completely different experience with Argen, they are producing great work for us.

John, I feel bad knocking Argen, I'm a very old account buying alloys since the late 70's and there Cad/Cam support is great.
I was told there were issues with the older mills months ago but my experience with the new mills is no different.
Obvious chipped margin aprox the size of a #4 to #6 bur, = no quality control.. Banghead
Guess there quality control is better with implants and bars.
If I receive another tel call from Argen, I'm going to suggest they hire me lol

All I do is DPM and printed models and both are perfect from my designs.

I am actually in awe of Argens transformation from alloy company to manufacture. They saw the writing on the shrinking PFM wall and made a real effort to morph into a NEEDED partner in this industry.

Argen has been alright for me. I've had some cases a day late due to quality control issues, on zirconia and a metal framework (Pfm is big part of my business still) A couple mono zirc shading has been completely off. Example being I ordered an A4 and received something twice as dark as an A4. Otherwise my margins are spot on. Everything else how I designed it. Overall I've been happy with them.

I do plan on trying other mills just for the different zirconia on the market.

As I said, Argen does great work for me.
Haw can results be so different?

My Argen/Wilkinson rep Barb, who I really liked and was one of the best, also retired recently.

I have never received cases late.
They ship by FedEx priority overnight. Always on time.

Whenever I had models made they were always "backordered" and came in separate shipments
