[QUOTE="charles007, post: 162236, member: 9"] Nothing wrong with print and cast. I've used DPM on most of my pfm cases for the past several months, just wanted to offer another choice off my menu with SLM, which equals a cheaper alternative framework without changing quality and fit. To those who haven't tried using DPM, I really like using it from Argen & Bego on my pfm bridges and singles. Designing in Cad makes it easy to see details you may over look in hand waxing which equals less metal finishing. Metal finishing DPM is basically thinning margins and correcting any errors if needed in your design. Also using DPM on my gold crowns which allows me to offer both Noble & HN and not stock both types of high priced gold alloys. I started this thread to learn more about SLM since I didn't know anyone using SLM and wanted to learn more from DLN users I could trust. Hmmmm2 lol Now hearing SLM seems to fit better than DPM if you don't mind the roughness which I think would be a plus. As far as polishing, that's another story. Still haven't tried SLM because most of my pfm bridges this month had full metal on the last abutment. CoolHand, I think I've designed about 5 bridges in DPM using Argelite 61 which is the same alloy I've cast for the past 20+ years and aprox 12 DPM full gold crowns....... Sweet :) [/QUOTE]
