  <description>Every lab relies heavily on design software these days. The two biggest in our industry are 3Shape (https://www.3shape.com/) and ExoCad (https://exocad.com/). But what are the differences? Is one better than the other? This conversation starts the conversation of 3Shape vs ExoCad. Three technicians that use their software every day come on to discuss the differences and the similarities. Not sales people. Not the company. Real technicians that understand the daily struggles lab face every day.
Team ExoCad:
Matt Mills from Hybrid Technilogies (https://www.hybridtechdental.com/)
Team 3Shape:
Sevan Pulurian from Pacific Dental Lab (http://pacificdentallab.com/)
Team Everything:
Enja Dorjchuluun from Winter Springs Dental Lab (https://www.wsdentallab.com/)
Aurident (https://www.aurident.com/) offers so much more than just the P5 michine (https://www.aurident.com/p5/). They offer all the needed accessories like Nabertherm furnaces (https://www.aurident.com/furnaces/) and vacuums by Renfert. And all the consumables can be got in one place!  Aurident has Delta Zirconia (https://www.aurident.com/delta-zirconia/), Aurident Zr (https://www.aurident.com/aurident-zr-zirconia/), Aurident cutting tools, and Quest pmma (https://www.aurident.com/quest-pmma-shaded/) ! Aurident definitely is a One Stop Shop for any dental laboratory's needs! Call our friends, Aurident, at 800-422-7373 or  visit their website at aurident.com!
Whip Mix (https://www.whipmix.com/)’s new Veriwash (https://www.whipmix.com/products/veriwash/) resin cleaning station is the ideal piece of equipment to use in the 3D printed resin post process. It’s oscillating, multi-speed stirrer produces a tornado-like vortex every 30-seconds, and  guarantees efficient, effective and powerful cleaning whether the units are individual or still attached to the build plate.
The two alcohol baths make an effective step-wash system. It cleans more efficiently and there is less alcohol needed, since  it is re-used for both a fresh bath and a dirty bath.
The VeriWash’s intelligent design offers features such as Mode, Time, and Start/Stop button display which gives the operator full and automatic control of the cleaning process. A mesh basket used in the wash container makes it easy to keep track of small printed parts when cleaning. The affordable unit’s one-year warranty ensures peace-of-mind for the owner.
Visit whipmix.com (https://www.whipmix.com/) or call (800) 626-5651 for more information about this great new product.
 Special Guests: Enja Dorjchuluun, Matt Mills, and Sevan Pulurian.
