MillBox Dental CAM 2024

MillBox – the perfect Dental CAM solution for milling any restorations

Thanks to its user-friendly, innovative and attractive interface, MillBox simplifies the process of arranging restorations in the material and creating a tool path. New users can very quickly begin to perform layout operations, even without special training or with minimal training. MillBox is built on a powerful CAM platform that is very easy to use and minimizes the time spent on processing orders. And this, in turn, provides laboratories with a significant return on investment in digital technologies.

New Setting: Locking of Blank in use (New Feature – MillBox)

A new setting has been added in MillBox Preferences under General > Blanks: Lock read write “.blk” files after selection to prevent them from being used by other sessions.
