  <description>&lt;p&gt;All good things must come to an end. Unfortunately. This episode is finishing the conversations we got while at the &lt;a href="https://www.whipmix.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Whip Mix&lt;/a&gt; Digital Forum back in October. We start with the famous Step Toothmaster Bay. Step talks about his name, his start in the industry, the DTG, and what he is up to now. Then we talk to the man who is putting the priority of training at the top of our industry, James Mahan with &lt;a href="https://ptc-dental.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;PTC&lt;/a&gt;. James talks about the history of PTC, all the levels and type of education they provide, and how they are keeping relevant in today's digital workflow. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A BIG thanks to Whip Mix for putting on such an amazing event!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.whipmix.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Whip Mix&lt;/a&gt; is thrilled to announce their most recent addition to their milling product line. Introducing the &lt;a href="https://www.whipmix.com/products/roland-dgshape-dwx-53dc-dental-mill/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;DWX-53DC&lt;/a&gt; from DGSHAPE. This powerful mill satisfies your 'NEED FOR SPEED'. Three reasons to consider this mill:&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;1. It has 3 times the gripping power for PMMA.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;2. It mills 30% faster.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;3. The integrated webcam allows you to monitor a milling project from anywhere, on any device.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Go to tinyurl.com/WhipMixRolandMill to learn how you can take your milling to the next level.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Special Guests: James Mahan CDT  and Step Toothmaster Bae .&lt;/p&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle>Lab production software is not talked about very often, but it should be. It's important and crucial for many labs to have software to make them more efficient.  Richard Pickard from Inventrix comes on the podcast to talk about the history of LabTrac, how and why it works, and what they are working on for the future. </itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Regardless of size, dental laboratories need to be productive, efficient, and to deliver products on time. Imagine a software that can help you do all those things so you can free up time to concentrate on the quality and consistency. Richard Pickard came to the US with a concept of helping dental labs with their production. He started &lt;a href="http://inventrix.us.com/homePage.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Inventrix&lt;/a&gt;, a company that makes the&lt;a href="http://inventrix.us.com/product.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt; LabTrac Enterprise software&lt;/a&gt; that will allow labs to schedule cases and track them in real-time. Richard talks about the history of LabTrac, how LabTrac works (when you let it work), why it's a good fit for most labs but not all, and what amazing advancements and partnerships they are creating to bring you a better LabTrac in the future. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.aurident.com/p5/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;UP 3D P5 milling maching&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href="https://www.aurident.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Aurident &lt;/a&gt;is a 5 axis, efficient, dry mill. Great for milling zirconia, PMMA and wax. It boasts software that produces high precision and fast milling. It can mill a crown in 14 minutes and the tool life yields about 60-80 hours of quality restorations. A game changer for labs of all sizes, big and small. For under $20K, a small lab can now do their own milling instead of outsourcing and reducing their profits. Quite impressive! Give Aurident a call at 800-422-7373 or you can visit their website at aurident.com.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;hr&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href="https://whipmix.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Whip Mix&lt;/a&gt; is now providing its milling customers with &lt;a href="https://whipmix.com/products/prima-milling-tools/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Prima Milling Tools&lt;/a&gt;, the high performance milling tools engineered specifically for Roland mills. This new tool range outperforms the competition. The results show not only that the tools last 29% longer than most others, their precision creates pin-point accuracy, ensuring a perfect fit for the patient.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;The uncoated tools save up to 40% per restoration over the market leaders, but you can save 20% on these great tools through January 10, 2021!  To take advantage of this offer, VISIT WHIPMIX.COM OR CALL (800) 626-5651&lt;/h3&gt;
