For labs that want to mill metal and have low to moderate production levels, DATRON offers the D5 Entry model with a manual (puck) changer. This model costs approximately $50,000 less than the D5 Standard, which includes 8-puck automation for labs that have moderate to high production volumes and want up to 100 hours of unattended operation.
The D5 Entry is ideal for labs that want to mill their own titanium implant parts, but don't require automatic puck changes, said Robert Murphy, Vice President, noting that it can be upgraded to include automation if the labs needs change in the future.
