1) MillBox — What are the recommended PC specifications?
Overview
MillBox runs on many PCs, but performance improves when you meet the recommended specs.
Why it is helpful
Following the recommended CPU, RAM, GPU and storage guidelines prevents slow calculations, reduces crashes, and keeps large bridge and implant cases responsive.
2) Understanding Curves, Surfaces, and Restoration Types
Overview
Explains required and optional curves and surfaces for each object type in MillBox. This is the map MillBox uses to apply strategies correctly.
Why it is helpful
Correct curves and the right restoration type give you cleaner toolpaths, fewer remakes, and faster calculations.

3) What is FileHub
Overview
FileHub organizes MillBox production files and helps you find, preview, and manage outputs.
Why it is helpful
Keeps jobs tidy, speeds up audits, and reduces time spent hunting for NC files or simulations.
4) Milling Zone Designation
Overview
The Brush tool lets you paint zones for extra operations such as anatomical detail, interproximal cleanup, or fast finishing.
Why it is helpful
You can target only the areas that need attention without changing global strategies, which saves time and protects tool life.

5) Curves and Surface Tools
Overview
Shows how to create and edit margins, cylinders, drilling axes, secondary finishing axes, and more.
Why it is helpful
These tools let you correct recognition issues, add missing geometry, and validate dimensions before you mill.
