New casting machine

[model guy]

I think that my nobilium mod 3 casting machine is on its last leg and I’ll soon need a new one. I think I’ve narrowed it down to a choice between nobilium’s newest model (around 20k) and bego’s fornax (15k). Anybody care to share some feedback about either machine? Thanks in advance.

Why cast why not print the frames, or are those still really expensive?

How many frames a day? Or week?

 

[model guy]

It varies. I don’t do a ton. Maybe 15-25 per month. It is a staple of the lab where I work. I want to do them myself rather than outsource. I’m not convinced that printed frames are there yet... especially on the maxillary.

3D RPD has excellent frames. Just saw another one yesterday and it was perfect. Buy a scanner.

I know this is late, but do not buy at Fornax T!!

I've had a Bego Nautilus induction for about 25 years. Excellent casting machine never burn the alloy. Work horse.
