The Reality
Every unmillable file costs you time, money, and trust.
If you're running a milling center, you know the routine. Files arrive from dental labs - and a surprising number of them can't be milled.
Disconnected geometry. Walls too thin. Margins that don't meet your requirements. Sharp edges that will chip under the cutter.
Someone on your team catches it - if you're lucky. They call the lab. The lab argues. You send screenshots. They re-export. Hours pass.
Your machines sit idle.
And if nobody catches it?Broken tools. Scrapped material. A remake nobody budgeted for.
30+ min
Average time lost per failed file - calls, emails, screenshots, re-uploads
2-5%
Of incoming files have geometry or manufacturing issues blocking production
€50–200+
Cost per incident - wasted material, machine downtime, technician time
The Solution
Meet your automated quality gatekeeper.
Simq DENTAL Mill Check sits between your dental lab customers and your production floor.
Every file gets checked automatically - geometry integrity, manufacturing parameters, and material requirements -
before it reaches your machines.
🔍
Instant Geometry Analysis
Every file is scanned for 10+
geometry issues - from
disconnected bodies and self-
intersections to holes, shells, and sharp edges. Issues are
highlighted directly on the 3D
model.
⚙️
Manufacturing Validation
Mill Check validates against your
production parameters. Margin
line offsets, material thickness,
connector sizes - all configurable per material and manufacturing method.
🔧
Auto-Repair
Many issues are fixed
automatically: isolated parts
removed, intersections resolved, sharp edges smoothed. Labs get a clean file back in seconds - not a rejection email.
📋
Full Traceability
Every file decision is logged:
timestamp, outcome, issues
found, repairs applied, manual
overrides. Digital documentation for quality management and liability clarity.

Simq is an ISO 13485 certified medical software manufacturer — we bring medical-grade quality processes to everything we build.
How It Works
From upload to production in three steps.
Free up your technicians to focus on high-value production tasks. Mill Check pays for itself by transforming your pre-production into
a source of efficiency, not a bottleneck.
1
Upload and Analyze
A dental lab uploads an STL file
through your upload portal. Mill Check runs a full
geometry analysis and validates manufacturing
parameters - automatically, in seconds.
2
Review, Repair, or Approve
If the file passes: it proceeds to production.
If issues are found: we auto-repair it or the lab gets an interactive 3D view with problems highlighted.
3
Produce with Confidence
Validated files move to your milling or SLM queue
with full documentation. Every decision - pass,
fail, auto-repair, manual override - is logged and
traceable.

What We Check
10+ automated checks. Two layers of intelligence.
Every file passes through two analysis layers. First, geometry analysis — we detect and repair mesh issues that break manufacturing.
Then, manufacturing validation - we check your file against the specific parameters you define per material and method.
Generic mesh tools do the first part. Only Mill Check does both.

Your Rules
You define the standard.
Mill Check enforces it.
Configure parameters per material and manufacturing method. Add your materials, set your thresholds, and Mill Check applies them consistently to every single file.
No interpretation. No subjectivity. No human error.

Your Numbers
Calculate what Mill Check saves you.
Adjust the slider to match your monthly file volume. We estimate based on a 3% failure rate and 30 minutes saved per failed file - conservative numbers from real milling center operations.
These numbers don't include the indirect savings: fewer remakes, less machine
downtime, and the value of technicians' time redirected to production.

FAQs
Simq DENTAL Mill Check is an automated file validation tool that analyzes and repairs dental CAD designs for millability. It provides instant Go/No-Go feedback, helping dental labs and milling centers eliminate manual checks, reduce errors, and accelerate production.
Once a design file is uploaded, Mill Check automatically scans it for common issues like thin walls, unsupported geometries, or non-millable structures. It returns instant visual feedback, allowing labs to fix errors or approve the design with documented responsibility.
Mill Check helps dental labs and milling centers save time, cut communication delays, and minimize costly production errors. It reduces manual work, improves turnaround time, and creates a documented audit trail for every file decision.
Yes. Simq DENTAL Mill Check offers seamless API integration into your file upload portal or lab management system. It works in the background and requires no change to how your clients submit files.
The system provides a visual report pinpointing the issue. Labs can fix the design directly using Simq’s repair tools or resubmit after adjusting it in their CAD software. They can also acknowledge and proceed — with the decision automatically logged.
Yes. Mill Check is file-format agnostic and works with standard STL and other dental CAD formats. It complements workflows based on exocad, 3Shape, and similar systems.
No installation is required. Simq DENTAL Mill Check is browser-based and cloud-powered, enabling fast setup and easy access across your team.
Every file submission is logged with a timestamp, outcome (pass/fail/override), and a visual summary. This documentation supports traceability, quality control, and risk mitigation.
Mill Check is designed for digital dental labs, milling centers, and manufacturers who want to automate pre-production validation, reduce liability, and speed up approvals without compromising quality.
