[QUOTE="JMN, post: 330203, member: 8469"] There's not much to add to [USER=1367]@2thm8kr[/USER] 's post. But. The reason the teeth are nowhere near accurate enough to do what you want is the injection molding process. The moulds are used for a few thousand times and then discarded. Each tooth coming out of the mould is slightly larger than the teeth before it and the teeth after it wll be larger as well. It's a greatly fun project, and will give you loads of understanding, just don't expect it to be useful unless you will be milling teeth out of PMMA pucks. You can use the library and mill wax and do normal old school lost wax with the teeth by flasking, just don't expect things to look in your hand the way they do on the screen. And you'll still have to fiddle the teeth into place as the teeth made for what you're doing come as cards to be put into the mill for the basal surface to be adjusted as needed by the mill. I'd do it just for the fun. (yes, I'm crazy) If you do it, please keep a log/record of the journey. In 6 weeks you may find that has answers you needed and forgot. [/QUOTE]
