est idea on the planet
Why? Just out of curiosity.
est idea on the planet
I really hate milling wax or pmma. It is not accurate. The material is floppy with uneven stress built into it.
Holy crap! I think they have 3shape beat by a mile! World Domination??
Can you say, "Plays well with others?". That should be their motto. Look at all those partnerships!
FYI, this isn't B&D's software, it's Exocad. They have nothing to do with the actual development - they just suggest features to the programmers.
Actually, that isn't correct, if you go out to B&D you will see the R&D going on with the scanner hardware and software implementation. I guess when I said, "team" that was assumed.
We're printing on a DP all day and also milling wax and the milled wax units looks just as good, if not more accurate (with better surface) than the printed ones. I think your results were due to type of wax you were using (AND THE ROLANDS).I can easily mill 0.3mm walls with zero distortion or chipping using the wax we have.
Wow, look at those partnerships.Exocad has a lot of catching up to do. There are so many features and import/export options that I'm not even going to list that Exocad doesn't do that 3Shape will. 3Shape is the most open and widely supported system out right now. If you are a small lab and want a basic cad system to get you in the game for cheap then this system is definitely worth it. If you're looking for a system that will grow with your lab, Disagree, you should see the updates and I didn't have to pay for them, and don't have to pay for them every year either. Your comments below already suggest the scanner (hardware) is better and the white light is, hands down it wins. Although the Exocad software doesn't have all these crazy options YET, it has a platform to grow on and be the best in the market. Will they? Who knows, but for me, I prefer not to have all these crazy options confusing me even more when it comes to scanning/designing. It's a fun and exciting time in the cad/cam world, we'll see how it shakes out though.with more functionality, flexibility and importing/outputting options, go with another system like 3Shape.
If 3Shape just combined the Solutionix/Medit scanner with their software (and scanning algorithms) then I think they would definitely be unstoppable.
Just informed my origin intelligence will be here Monday the 24th!! Finally!!! Freaking DTing here!
Sweet Man...can't wait to see what emerges!!!
