This is a Precision attachment case.  I didn't think to take pics of the wax up.  No CAD scan for this one.  Hand waxed. Lost wax cast in a centrifugal machine.   Try in is Monday.  I'll post more pics as I opaque, layer porcelain etc.

Really enjoyed working on this one.  the first picture is pre-glaze.

I'm learning about printed metal copings.  We can design them on our CAD machine and send the file off to a manufacturer who turns them into noble metal.  It has 25% palladium, which qualifies it as a noble alloy.  The rest consists of Chrome, Cobalt and Molybdenum.  cost is more stable than anything we're using now (other than Non Precious) and it is absolutely a precious alloy for insurance purposes.

I've played around with it and the final result looks as good as any porcelain to  high palladium.  Virtually indistinguishable.  I look forward to finding a Dr willing to try it out with me.

more details as they become available.

Thanks for reading,

Linda

Leaving early tomorrow to take the grandkids to Great Wolf Lodge.  Cynthia is calling it a "Staycation".  3 days and 2 nights in a waterpark!   It's going to be a blast.  The kids love the place and it does have some amenities for adults, so I'm looking forward to it.

Things are pretty well caught up at the lab, so I don't even have to feel guilty!  Yeah!
