[QUOTE="BobCDT, post: 254341, member: 3119"] You want all open equipment 95mm disc holder is CLOSED. We have used many mills over the years and I represent a company that sells mills so I would like to disclose this first. I also own a lab. My lab has 3 Roland mills for milling soft materials and an AG M2 for metal milling. The Roland mill is likely the most reliable mill every made for dental. It was designed to include all that is needed for milling soft material precisely and without problems. The M2 is well designed and does a really nice job on custom abutments as well as many other indications. In our milling center, we have several VHF mills all fairly new and are having a fair amount of trouble with them. Scan CAD, I'm a big 3Shape guy. I have a friend with a large lab, many design people. He moved from 3Shape tto Exocad and about 6 months he is going back to 3Shape as he says "it takes longer to design in Exocad". 3Shape is also a step ahead of exocad in indications. For instance, you mentioned surgical guides. When I was at IDS Exocad was showing the first version of their SG solution that was not yet available. 3Shape is now on a third version. Sintering, either the Sintra or Dekema 674. The nice thing about the Dekema, SiC heating elements. This enables fast sintering (2 hours 45 minutes) of approved materials. These are Katana, Dental Direkt and Amann Girrbach zirconias. In our milling center, we run 3 -4 programs a day in each dekema. This expedites production. I'm simply sharing my experiences with you. I'm assuming there are other good CAD CAM components out there but I know you will not go wrong if you follow the above. Your budget is fine to set up a quality CAD CAM department. Good luck!
