TESTIMONIALS
"The MillBox Operator Training was incredibly helpful for me. It allowed us to explore the full capabilities of the software in depth. What stood out most was the open and supportive environment—every question we had was welcomed, and nothing was rushed or glossed over. We were encouraged to dive deep into our comments and concerns, which made the experience truly engaging.
This training left us genuinely excited to return to the lab and apply what we learned. With a much clearer understanding of MillBox, I’m confident we’ll see a significant improvement in our success rate moving forward. Thank you for equipping us with such valuable knowledge—we’ll absolutely be recommending the Operator Training to others."

"Being in this industry for 19 years—and in CAD/CAM for nearly 14—the struggle to fully understand CAM software has always been an uphill battle. Between trial and error, trying to interpret the software’s capabilities and limitations, and watching distributors or tech support remote in to fix issues, I was left with only a partial grasp of what was really happening.
Before attending the MillBox Operator Course, I’d say my understanding of MillBox was around 85%. I often relied on distributor support to make strategy changes by simply describing the outcome I wanted.
After completing the course, I now have a complete understanding of the why behind the software—which means I now understand the how. I can confidently make strategic changes to achieve the desired results and drive continuous improvements across all our restorations and material types.
Whether you’re brand new to MillBox or sitting at that 85% mark, if you want to truly understand the method behind the madness of subtractive manufacturing, I highly recommend this course. You’ll gain a solid baseline of the software’s full functionality, and any questions or uncertainties you have will be answered thoroughly and clearly."
Thank you, Michael Webb!"
