I had been reading about zirconia crowns, and I had observed that PFMs were becoming less popular. So I visited a laboratory in Washington that had a scanner and a mill, and they recommended working with 3DBioCAD. Soon after that, I purchased my first 3Shape scanner, 3Shape design software, and Roland mill from them.
3DBioCAD came to our laboratory for 3 days of training, but it was the follow-up that really demonstrated their commitment to supporting us. Just a few hours after the representative left our laboratory, we had more questions. It was late at night, but after his flight landed, he went straight from the airport to his office to get us back up and running. From that point on, we had a strong bond with 3DBioCAD.
Our initial goal was to mill 50 cases in a month. We ended up milling more than 150 in that first month and 300 the second month, and our business continued to grow from there. We have been able to handle the large volume because we have 3DBioCAD's customer service at our fingertips. I have contacted them after midnight on several occasions, and they have had no problem helping me. In fact, when my family and I traveled to Seattle one December, 3DBioCAD representatives took us to dinner and invited us to their Christmas party.
We have now purchased three milling machines—two Roland DWX-50s and one DWX-52—as well as several 3Shape scanners, including the E3, and three 3Shape dongles for design stations. I recommend 3DBioCAD to dentists, laboratories, and anyone else involved with CAD/CAM. I have seen dentists purchase intraoral scanners from other companies and struggle because of a lack of support, but dentists who have purchased the 3Shape TRIOS through 3DBioCAD have said they cannot thank me enough for the recommendation.
3Shape is so user-friendly and Roland is so reliable that we have continued to use those products. But what truly sold me on them was the great people of 3DBioCAD. They bend over backwards for us and are just great people.
