379: IDS 2025 & exocad Part 4 with Juan David Jaramillo, Luis Diego Monsalve, Steve Campbell, & Dr. Nicolas Rohde

Elvis Dahl & Barb Warner — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 06:00:00 -0400

Elvis and Barb are back (once again) with more amazing conversations that they got at the exocad booth during the 4 days at IDS 2025 in Cologne, Germany. First up is two gentlemen out of Columbia that their lab 70 years ago decided that it was easier if they just started manufacturing their own materials. Juan David Jaramillo and Luis Diego Monsalve talk about the history of New Stetic, the regulation of getting it into 65 different countries, the world of making dental anesthesia, and how they use IDS as a way to connect with customers from around the world.

Then we bring back the wonderful Steve Campbell from Nexus Dental Laboratory in the UK. Steve is at IDS speaking for exocad and the new exocad ART. He talks about how with exocad, AI, and a video of a patient talking, we can create a video of the patient talking with their new teeth that haven't even been made yet. Steve also updates on Nexus since the last recording and the importance of encouraging your technicians to do better then you.

Lastly we talk to Dr. Nicolas Rohde from VHF Milling Machines. Dr. Rohde started with a business degree and a PhD in Organizational Practices. While in Maryland during school, he meets his wife and takes a job with a implant company and that's how he into dental. That company was a reseller for VHF mills and that is how he found them Dr. Rohde talks about moving back to Germany to run the US division, what sets their mills apart from others, and why they take the time to have their own CAM software to run their mills.
