    Need help

    I'm a dentist and I want to know the difference between dental milling machine CAD/CAM and normal 5 axis CNC milling machines
    Can I used the 5 axis CNC instead of dental milling machine

    As near as I can tell the primary difference is that, pound for pound, dental milling machines are a lot more expensive. I think a more industrial machine would do exactly the same work with the same accuracy.

    As far as the CAD/CAM, there is no practical difference.
