CO/CR a new alternative

I have been testing the new copings from NobelProcera milled from Co/Cr block.
The results have been very good. The margins are accurate depending on how you set them and to adjust the alloy a tungsten carbide cuts it like butter, this surprised me as I thought it would be hard to adjust.
The porcelain has shown no signs of de-bonding, thermal cracking or having colour problems.
I am sure this is a viable alternative to gold based alloys which we have always used.
By scanning we also have a saving in time and costs.
