The present invention relates to a method of producing a dental restoration from a partially-sintered or non-sintered blank using a three-dimensional dental restoration model, comprising the steps of: generating at least one or more first milling path for rough and/or fine milling determining areas or zones of increased stress in the three-dimensional dental restoration model and generating at least one modified milling path machining the blank by milling utilising one or more first milling paths selectively machining parts of the blank utilising at least one modified milling path and sintering the machined blank.
