Hi All,
Thought i would share some pictures of what i do!
Dental technician by trade, 5 years at Technical College and ended up with a B.Tech Degree, many years ago... ;D
Anyway we had a cool case come in that sort of related to machining!
A gold implant bar needed some 1.8mm holes drilled and then tapped with a 2mm tap.
Studs screwed into the bar to which attachments that are in the denture will snap into.
We usually work with Titanium, this was an older implant bar.
The bar and the tap
