[QUOTE="Terry Whitty, post: 201327, member: 11301"] Scanners... where do you start? Everyone will tell you something different... BUT You have really the Big 3 Choices... 3Shape based exocad based ( this includes many scanners ) Dental Wings based Others available include ( Scanner and software solution) They are growing ..so watch them... Maestro 3D Heraeus...formerly EGS Others.. [B]3 Shape will give you a turnkey system exaocad will give you choice and lots of it ...so lots of scanner choice...LOTS Dental Wings will give you an alternate turnkey system.. [/B] So work out who you are... do you want to be the person that just needs a turnkey solution that you think most people use? Thats OK OR Do you want to get to know your stuff and be flexible... you know mess with it put it together... OR Do you want to be a bit different and use an alternate turkey system.... thats fine too All scanners these days are really good.. so you don't have to worry... OMG is it accurate enough... it's like splitting hairs..I love hearing ... [B]" my scanner is better than your scanner" LOL[/B] Software is great too... but all have bugs!!! just some less than others...and sorry..you will have to work that one out for yourself.....he he My First scanner was a 3 Shape D 250... double firewire... the bloody serial cable etc etc great for its time... it was actually really enough... for most stuff ...when it worked! ALL scanners are way beyond that now... way, way beyond and for most things more than adequate. All C and B , inlays inlays Veneers, most implant work... Of course "maybe" not for high end machine shop stuff such as complex bars... .. well you get it I'm sure..you need industrial scanner. But you don't buy one just outsource if you want. So work out what you want to do, how steep you want the learning curve to be... what the budget is and dive in... its FUN ! [/QUOTE]
