"Really good points Mark,
Ironically we are working with an attorney now drawing up a disclaimer for the surgical guides we fabricate in my laboratory. It certainly is a slippery slope and costly as well

"We have a number of milling systems and we have one mill (Roland) that is dedicated to wax milling. The results are okay. We don't really use it for casting patterns that much because we find we can usually do it almost as fast by hand, though we do…"

I work at Solidscape, (3D printers), as their dental person. I am always looking for good information to share with my supervisors to help make their jobs easier, and recently it was suggested on an on-line forum, that you would be a good person to consult concerning the cost/ROI for printing. I am not a numbers person, so most of it goes over my head, but if have written on the cost of CAD/CAM, where printing is concerned, I would love to pass it on to the powers that be.
Thanks,
Kara
