CAD/CAM Milling Financing

Finance chairside milling systems, scanners, and sintering ovens as one package on technology-cycle terms with upgrade paths. Representative example: a $130,000 CAD/CAM system runs about $2,500/month.*

The CAD/CAM system Reality

A mill trades a variable cost for a fixed one. Lab work is billed per unit and scales up and down with the practice; a milling system is the same payment whether the schedule is full or not. So the decision turns on unit volume, and that's arithmetic a practice can run on its own numbers before anyone talks about financing — we're not going to tell you what your volume will be. What we can do is structure around the answer, including a step schedule for a practice building toward the volume rather than starting there.

Payment Structures

The differentiation: four ways to own the same equipment, engineered to your cash flow. Compare them side by side on our structures page.

Operating Lease

Off-balance-sheet treatment with end-of-term flexibility — return, renew, or purchase. Often the right answer when technology cycles or accounting outcomes drive the decision.

$1 Buyout Lease

Own the equipment for one dollar at term end. Fixed payments, full Section 179 eligibility, and a clean path to ownership.

Seasonal & Step Payments

Payments that follow your revenue curve — lighter in slow months, heavier in peak season, or stepping up as new equipment ramps to full production.

Usage-Based & As-a-Service

Payments tied to hours, output, or consumption. The category Elevex is defining: pay for what equipment achieves, not what it costs.

How It Works

Three steps from quote to funded.

1 · Apply in Minutes

Application-only to $1,000,000 — no tax returns or financials below that threshold. Have your equipment quote, auction listing, or build spec ready.

2 · Structure Together

A finance professional (not a portal) walks the structure options — term, seasonality, end-of-term — and prices the deal to your cash flow.

3 · Fund in 24–48 Hours

Most transactions fund within 24–48 hours of signed documents. Your vendor gets paid; you get to work.

Common Questions

Should a scanner and mill be treated as one purchase?

They're bought as a workflow rather than as components — scanner, mill, oven, and software only produce together. Acquiring them separately tends to leave a practice with different end dates on equipment that has to be evaluated and replaced as a set.

What happens when the mill or software generation changes?

That's what the end-of-term choice is for. A lease structure lets the practice move to the current generation at term end instead of running an older workflow because the equipment is paid off, while a $1 buyout fits practices that intend to keep the system well past the term. Compare both.

Can I finance a used CAD/CAM system?

Yes — used CAD/CAM system financing is standard business, whether the unit comes from a dealer, an auction, or a private seller. We value working assets on condition and remaining service life, not a blanket age cutoff, and set terms the equipment can actually support.

Does a CAD/CAM system qualify for Section 179?

Most business-use equipment placed in service this tax year qualifies for Section 179 expensing, financed or purchased outright — often meaning the first-year deduction outruns your first-year payments. Run your numbers on our Section 179 calculator and confirm specifics with your tax advisor.

How fast can CAD/CAM milling financing close?

Application-only decisions to $1,000,000 come back in minutes for qualified credits, and most deals fund within 24–48 hours of signed documents. Apply online with your quote to start.
