&lt;p&gt;Elvis &amp;amp; Barb will be recording all weekend long at the &lt;a href="https://preat.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Preat&lt;/a&gt; Booth&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dustin Osburn is from a small town in Arkansas. After finding his way to a dental lab, he quickly excelled to become the removable manager.  When that lab got bought out by &lt;a href="https://nationaldentex.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;National Dentex&lt;/a&gt;, Dustin was recruited to be the "go-to" trainer for every NDX around the country. After a time running another lab, COVID hit. Dustin and his family had to switch gears and decided to control their own future. With a talent for welding, Dustin converted a van into a mobile removable lab that allows him to service surrounding towns and offer a service that no other lab can offer.&lt;/p&gt;

Plus they also provide the same zirconia they mill in-house. Give them a call at 844-ZIRCONIA or visit them at alienmilling.com.&lt;/h3&gt;

  <itunes:subtitle>Tim Bertram from Bertram Dental Lab comes on the podcast to talk about taking over a family lab that has specialized in metal frames from the '70s. Currently Tim and his crew are printing SLM frames directly from a lab's design along with flexibles and surgical guides along with a traditional workflow.  They now grow to support more labs for this much needed service in our industry.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;One of the most common restorations for labs to "outsource" is metal frameworks and flexible partials. The training, personal, and equipment is a huge hurdle to overcome and Bertram Dental Lab can be your partner. All made in the US and decades of experience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Growing up in a lab that almost 100% made metal frames for other labs, Tim Bertram started at an early age. Now he owns &lt;a href="https://www.bertramdental.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;Bertram Dental Lab&lt;/a&gt; that still makes metal frames for other labs, but now does it with an impressive digital workflow. He talks about printing SLM frames, milling flexibles, and printing surgical guides. With a move to a new facility, Bertram is setting up to be partner for you lab for a long time. &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 pleased to add V&lt;a href="https://whipmix.com/products/vericast-generative-resin/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;eriCast OS&lt;/a&gt;, a burnout pattern print resin, to Whip Mix’s growing Veri Brand Resin offering. VeriCast OS works with LCD and DLP printers in both 385 and 405 nanometer wavelengths.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;It prints accurate and detailed crowns, bridges, substructures, and RPD frameworks, is durable, and leaves no ash or residue.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Since it burns out cleanly, VeriCast OS is ideal for investment casting and ceramic pressing. For optimal results, we recommend Whip Mix &lt;a href="https://whipmix.com/products/resinvest-investment/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;ResinVest&lt;/a&gt;, which is a phosphate investment made specifically for burning out printed or milled resin patterns.&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Visit whipmix.com to learn more about VeriCast OS or any of Whip Mix’s other 3D Print Resins.&lt;/h3&gt;
