MillBox

MillBox will associate a unique code to every new block the user creates. Upon block creation, the user can print the bar-code label that encodes such unique code and stick it to the side of the block. Later on, if the user scans the bar-code label (through a webcam or a bar-code scanner), MillBox will select the corresponding block, if it can be found on the user’s disk.

MillBox can load up to 14 files for Import at the same time. This saves a lot of chair time spent nesting.
While items are loaded in the background, MillBox’s interface remains unlocked so you can select additional files for import – even if they are different object types. This results in up to 80% faster loading times when importing files.

Every time you proceed to the partially used blank selection, MillBox can automatically select / suggest items from available disks in your library.
MillBox analyzes existing materials and will try to suggest the disk with the least amount of space remaining that can still fit all of the restorations that have been imported in the job. Intelligent Stock Selection keeps your focus on exhausting previously used material before allocating a new stock for milling.

In the MillBox configuration now is possible to assign a “marked line” property to teeth curves. This means that these curves will be more visible on the report file. Furthermore if 0 is set as thickness numbers and lines, these references will not be display on the final report. This allows the user to have overall better customization of their Job Reports.

This feature allows you to create a live view of the mill, using any webcam connected to the PC or video camera on your network.
The video feed will appear as a Picture-In-Picture image in the background of MillBox. This can be useful when you want to keep an eye on the milling process, but continue nesting in the CAM.

It is possible to assign a greater priority at the begin of calculation if another MillBox is already calculating.

MillBox can now send mobile notifications when a milling machine changes its state. In particular, you will be notified when:

– A machine job has been successfully done;
– A machine job stopped because an error occurred.

So far, our communication channel is the MillBox_Bot Telegram bot.

Complete cinematic simulation is now available if defined in preminary configuration

Under the quick project menu, lots of information are now available like: machine name, material, blank name, lot code, toolpath calculated. It’s possible to filter files inserting the STL name of an object or the name of a .blk file. Extra information, if there are lot of files, can be displayed with a delay (but the user can choose the file before).

Added Support for displaying simultaneously Implant Replace Interfaces belonging to the same group.

Turn this feature on to quickly identify if any areas are too thin for milling.
When activated, the tool will automatically show you a color coded map displaying thin spots. The legend serves as a guide for determining the actual thickness of each colored area. The thickness thresholds can be customized based on the material you are milling. As an example, zirconia minimum thicknesses may fall below minimum thresholds for glass ceramics and would warrant their own custom settings.

When the tool is active you can simply click from one part to the next to continue analyzing various parts in the job.

This feature can be applied on abutments with angulated screw channels.
MillBox allows the you to change the angle of the screw channel with a simple drag-n-drop command.

It is possible to measure the project choosing ‘probing process’ on CAM side bar (the function must be activated before on the configuration dialog)

The copy and paste function allows you to duplicate identical parts.
This feature can be used when you want to create 2 or more copies of an identical restoration, without having to re-import it several times.
This can be useful for quality assurance, product samples, etc. MillBox will even duplicate the exact support pin placement on the restoration, saving you the time of having to manually adjust each part.

This feature can be applied to abutments that have an angled screw hole. This allows the user to change the orientation of the occlusal hole. Since the milling result will be changed compared to the original design, it is recommended that the user carefully checks the changes to ensure that it is still suitable for their application.

It’s possible to filter files inserting the STL name of an object or the name of a .blk file. Extra information, if there are lot of files, can be displayed with a delay (but the user can choose the file before).

This function allows you to extract an interface connection from an object imported in MillBox and save it in the replace library. .MBI files are supported if you are importing an interface created with our Implant Connector Editor: a plugin for Rhinoceros CAD. This feature combined with the “Abutment Fit” function, affords you to control over the fit between your abutment and implant. You can also control the diameter of the screw access channel which will be again saved in your Replace Library.

The function to import interface for replace is now available directly from the beginnning even without any project started.

The selection of .CFG files will be done with a dialog that allow preview that contains information on strategy selected. The information is done by an HTML file with the same basename, it is possible to place the HTML file in a subfolder with the name of current language, for example en=english, it=italian

It is possible to change the machine / tool-set selected. This only works in case of having the same equipment and personalization code (in machine.arl). This can be useful if the customer has more than one machine copied and is using the multimachine.ini to manage. An example: in case of same machine with different tool-sets / profiles.

It’s possible to mill only some objects, the calculation will start in background for selected objects, and the % of calculation will be shown in objects area. There will be no tools information dialog and no request to update tools usage, both dialogs are confirmed in the background MillBox. Clicking on the icon that replace objects milled will display information on object and possibility to open the project that contain it.
