[QUOTE="CoolHandLuke, post: 334867, member: 4850"] you are familiar with denture teeth designs coming from exocad, so you are not starting from scratch. basically you are looking at buying a mill and buying pucks of material. first, find out what pucks make good teeth. ask the audience, what pucks make good teeth. some pmma looks junky. some pmma have nice multi layers. find that out. then you can begin to ask about leasing options on any low cost pmma mill. these are your Roland 51d, imes250/350/450, versamill 5x400, zirkonzahn, zubler dc series, yenadent, amann girrbach, and many more, ranging from 25k-50k usd. you'll know already that you'll want to ask about whose support is best before you dip your toes. so ask the audience, whose support for milling has been best. get quoted not only for the mill but the training to use the mill and the CAM software. there may be used mahines available in the classifieds, often these are not broken machines, just people liquidating or retiring as they upgrade. while you are at it ask about who can support both your mill and your exocad. then transfer your dongle to them.
