Subject: [roots] itero pictures as promised
Itero commercial unit, a scan in process, a comparison of the
polyurethane blank block, the calibration block run each day,
and an arch cut out from one, the milling machine in progress,
and some photos of the machines and their size so you can
appreciate the size of these things. Cadent currently has 3,
but a new room is under construction and by the end of
February will have 10 total machines

That was supposed to be posted to another forum, and I
apologize. The abridged version is that for the last 3 years
I’ve been working with cadent corporation out of Carlstadt nj
and tel aviv Israel on an electronic impression
taking/scanning device. When the scans are taken, and the
images cleaned up, the data is changed to g code and fed to
the large milling machines in the photos. I spent Thursday
and Friday in Carlstadt with the machinists actually following
through a couple of my own cases, someone had asked me about
the process and I was trying to post the pictures to give
them a better understanding. If you have any interest in this
digital impression concept,we have a video at
(Click here for a video ) that explains a bit more. - gary
Why the heck does the milling machine have to be small room
size? Is there future plans to mill larger objects?
Is there future plans to mill larger objects? - Carter
As mark pointed out, there was a major cost saving by opting
to use commercially available units that had the capacity to
meet our needs. And the accuracy of these is second to none.
And they will have the capacity to handle full arch cases.
These machines are used a great deal in the aerospace
technology field for mission critical aircraft parts.
They are transparent to the end user, so it really isn’t a
concern to the practitioner - Gary
