| Why did you change the way you produce your wax-rims? |
Today, Wax-rims are produced using an analog process that results in inconsistencies. Furthermore, wax-rims are historically hard to scan due to the reflective surfaces on the wax. Dandy’s new wax-rims have a matte black baseplate that helps aid the scanner in capturing all of the details with less effort. They also are digitally designed to have a high suction fit. This will help you save some time during this appointment. |
