## **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.
