Dear List:
For dental casting machines, you can check out
http://www.brooks.af.mil/HSC/AL/AO/AOC/AOCD/DIS49/sec26.htm
there is a table of the manufacturers, the physical dimensions, price and
electrical requirements to these small casting machines.
These machines are found in the dental lab. that do the castings for
dentists. Running the machine is not hard at all, I think most people
can learn to use the machine in an hour.
By the way, is there any one looking at building dental wax patterns for
crowns and bridges with rp techniques?
