How to Get Started with the 3Shape Integration
3Shape Integration
At the end of the design, there are 2 options: Send and Save to the folder. To run the integration more smoothly, click on the Send button.
We have the 42W “ready” (green point) in this sample.
Click on Send, MillBox will run automatically and based on the design / setting, it will show you directly which size of blank you want to select to mill your restoration.
MillBox will already know the machines, the type of holder and the position (data pre-defined in the setting).
In the sample, you will see the 4 sizes of Vita Enamic available.
Select your blank, click on the green button and the MillBox will do the nesting and place the Pin.
Check visually the positioning of the restoration in the blank and how the pin is placed. If everything's fine for you, you can select the button Start Mill.
The 2 main options are:
If you have your machine connected to the PC, click on Stream Job to the Mill.
If you are not connected to the machine, select Save Toolpath.
MillBox will prepare the strategy; it will show you a reminder where you need to load the tools (and the types).
In the sample, we have:
Pos. 1: the ZGB2 - 2.5mm
Pos. 2: the ZGB2 – 1mm
Pos. 3: the ZGB2 – 0.5mm
At the end, there will be a pop-up that shows you where the file was saved.
