[QUOTE="Affinity, post: 296846, member: 1246"] I see where youre coming from, I could actually scan impressions and print my models, in house, but I just dont see the advantage yet.. I have someone pouring up the models so the cost and time is minimal, to me.. Im not even sure I could convince the Drs that it would be better to print the model, or if they would even care.. But what it comes down to, is that most impressions arent great, and most margins certainly arent visible without some degree of soft tissue removal or help. Ive tried marking margins on solid model scans in CAD and I just dont think its AS accurate IMO. So now, my die I would trim under a scope, is clicked, buried in CAD tissue, and my only way to check that, is the printed model, I made from clicking on a CAD image. Its subjective to how well you found the margin from your scan, same as trimming a stone die. Ive trimmed enough thousands of dies to know its like archaeology most of the time.. Its just a different way to get to the same place, Im just not convinced its better. Maybe its faster? But Im not turning around dozens of crowns in 3 days either.. so maybe its like apples and oranges. [/QUOTE]
