218: The Mouse is Mightier than the Sword with Minh Tran

There are a few in our industry that create valuable content geared to the dental laboratory industry. If you have spent more than 10 minutes on a social media page for dental technology, you have probably heard of Minh Tran. Minh is a second generation lab technician that also has a passion for creating videos and sharing knowledge that he has picked up over the years on dentaltechtips.com. Minh talks about his early days in the lab, discovering when it became a career, and how a hobby has turned him in to an expert in unbiased product reviews and lab tips that everyone can use. Whip Mix’s new VeriWhirl resin cleaning station is the ideal piece of equipment to use in the 3D printed resin post process. It’s oscillating, multi-speed stirrer produces a tornado-like vortex every 30-seconds, and guarantees efficient, effective and powerful cleaning whether the units are individual or still attached to the build plate. The two alcohol baths make an effective step-wash system. It cleans more efficiently and there is less alcohol needed, since it is re-used for both a fresh bath and a dirty bath. The VeriWhirl's intelligent design offers features such as Mode, Time, and Start/Stop button display which gives the operator full and automatic control of the cleaning process. A mesh basket used in the wash container makes it easy to keep track of small printed parts when cleaning. The affordable unit’s one-year warranty ensures peace-of-mind for the owner. Visit whipmix.com or call (800) 626-5651 for more information about this great new product. The fastest growing product at Gro3X are the Gro3X Aligners.
