In this series, we'll focus on CNC milling, which is a subtractive approach that creates forms by carving away at blocks of material. It's one of the most talked about CAM processes used in recent years. You may have heard of 3D printing, also known as Additive Manufacturing. Put simply, CAD involves making digital designs on the computer, while CAM tools and processes are used to realize those virtual forms as physical objects. Though I wear many hats, all of my professional activities intersect on the topic of computer-aided design and manufacturing, or CAD/CAM. My name is Taylor Hokanson, and I'm an artist, educator, and do-it-yourself engineer based in Chicago. Try temporarily disabling the anti-virus software or setting an exception for Mastercam.- Welcome. CNC Software does not recommend specific anti-virus products, but if you see unexpected issues, it may be a conflict with anti-virus software. In some cases, these have been found to interfere with applications such as Mastercam which are running on the computer. Most computers today have some kind of antivirus software to protect from unwanted malware. Additional technical and purchase information can be found on the 3Dconnexion You gently manipulate the 3D mouse’s controller cap to simultaneously pan, zoom, and rotate 3D content while your standard mouse is free to select menu items or parts of the model. It is designed to be used by your non-dominant hand in tandem with a standard mouse for a balanced and cooperative work style. 3D MOUSEĪ 3D mouse improves the way you interact with your 3D application. Many of our test systems employ a smaller primary SSD for the OS and installed applications with a second large capacity conventional drive for data. These drives are now priced at a point which makes them a good investment. We have found that one of the best computer upgrades is to invest in a Solid State Drive (SSD). Mastercam will run on large format displays, including 4K monitors and high-DPI devices however, we do some display issues with these configurations. Lower resolution monitors may work fine as a second monitor in a dual screen setup. Mastercam will run on lower resolution screens but beware of potential sizing issues with larger dialog boxes and panels which may be awkward to work with. The minimum recommended resolution for the primary display is 1920 * 1080 resolution typical of widescreen monitors available today. A second monitor allows applications such as Mastercam Simulator, Code Expert, Tool Manager and other applications to run on the secondary monitor while Mastercam utilizes the primary monitor. The majority of our internal systems utilize dual monitors and we find this to be more productive. More information on configuring the graphics card can be found at this We recommend using the automatic detect feature to detect which video card is installed.

The driver version can have a great impact on how the card performs.Ĭan be found at the online links. We often see issues that are resolved with updated video drivers.
#MASTERCAM X5 FREE TRIAL DRIVERS#
Make sure you are using up-to-date drivers from your card manufacturer. These do not generally have the capability to drive graphics intensive applications such as Mastercam.

We do not recommend or support the use of onboard graphics found with some PC configurations. OpenCL is required for Mastercam to be able to hand off certain computation tasks to the graphics card to increase system performance.

Other graphics cards can be used, but they must offer full OpenGL 3.2 and OpenCL 1.2 support.

Radeon Pro card with 4 GB or more of memory. When purchasing a new computer for Mastercam, one of the most important component is the video card. For large toolpath generation and simulation, we recommend 32 GB of RAM. When Mastercam uses all available RAM, it switches to using virtual memory space, which is stored on the hard drive, and will dramatically slow the system down. We typically see a 50% reduction in toolpath calculation time with the latest Intel i7 or Xeon processors. Toolpath calculation and Simulation will generally run faster with a multi-core processor. With each release, more and more aspects of Mastercam are becoming multi-core processor aware. The processor speed will impact how fast the software will calculate and complete tasks. Mastercam X7 MU2 was the last release to support Windows 7 32-bit OS. While Mastercam may run on other Windows editions (such as Home Edition) or virtual environments (such as Parallels for Mac), it has not been tested on these configurations and is therefore not supported.
#MASTERCAM X5 FREE TRIAL WINDOWS 10#
We recommend using Windows 10 64-bit Professional editions. View Detailed Requirements and Suggestions OPERATING SYSTEMSĬNC Software continues to review the operating system (OS) requirements for Mastercam with a goal of providing the best possible user experience for our customers.
