Hey all
So up until today we've been outsourcing our 3D printing which hasn't been much of a problem however, recently we've been getting a lot of digital cases so we're having to outsource even more work but it's costing us quite a bit. Some places have decent model prices but will only ship out 1 case per box and charge $7 in shipping/box. Other places charge more for the models but will send 3-5 cases in one box and charge a one time $12 shipping fee. Nonetheless its getting expensive.
We're looking to buy a 3D printer so I just wanted to see if any of you guys are printing your own models and if so, what printers are you using? Pros and cons?
Not sure if this info is relevant but we're a small lab (3). We're now doing about 40+ digital cases in a month. We use 3Shape (I know, I knoooow ). We get some scans from a 3M Tru Def scanner and some from a Medit scanner.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
