These recommendations are based on systems we have in use at CNC Software for testing and evaluation purposes. Our recommendation is to get as much power processor, video card, and memory for your systems as you can afford. Connection to Internet and email is recommended for installation, support, and updates.

CNC Software continues to review the operating system OS requirements for Mastercam with a goal of providing the best possible user experience for our customers. We recommend using Windows 10 version 20H2 or later or later bit Professional editions. 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 was the last release to officially support Windows 7 as Microsoft ended extended support for the OS in January Mastercam will install on Windows 7 systems but will not be supported. Future versions of Mastercam will not install on Windows 7. The processor speed will impact how fast the software will calculate and complete tasks. With each release, more and more aspects of Mastercam are becoming multi-core processor aware.

Toolpath calculation and Simulation will generally run faster with a multi-core processor. 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 recommend a minimum of 8 GB of memory. When purchasing a new computer for Mastercam, one of the most important component is the video card. Other graphics cards can be used, but they must offer full OpenGL 3.

OpenCL is required for Mastercam to be able to hand off certain computation tasks to the graphics card to increase system performance. We do not recommend or support the use of onboard graphics found with some PC configurations. These do not generally have the capability to drive graphics intensive applications such as Mastercam and can lead to system instability.

Make sure you are using up-to-date drivers from your card manufacturer. We often see issues that are resolved with updated video drivers. The driver version can have a great impact on how the card performs.

We recommend using the automatic detect feature to detect which video card is installed. More information on configuring the graphics card can be found at this Mastercam knowledge base article.

Most of our internal systems utilize dual monitors and we find this to be a more productive setup. Mastercam displays on the primary monitor while applications such as Mastercam Simulator, Code Expert, or Tool Manager display on the secondary monitor.

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. Lower resolution monitors may work fine as a second monitor in a dual screen setup. Mastercam will run on large format displays, including 4K monitors and high-DPI devices however, we do experience some display issues with these configurations.

We have found that one of the best computer upgrades is to invest in a NVMe drive. These drives are now priced at a point which makes them a good investment.

Many of our test systems employ a smaller primary NVMe drive for the OS and installed applications with a second large capacity conventional drive for data. Mastercam will run on large format displays, including 4K monitors and high-DPI devices however, we do some display issues with these configurations. These drives are now priced at a point which makes them a good investment.

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. A 3D mouse improves the way you interact with your 3D application. It is designed to be used by your non-dominant hand in tandem with a standard mouse for a balanced and cooperative work style.

Additional technical and purchase information can be found on the 3Dconnexion website. Most computers today have some kind of anti-virus software to protect from unwanted malware. In some cases, these have been found to interfere with applications such as Mastercam which are running on the computer. CNC Software does not recommend specific anti-virus products, but if you see unexpected issues, it may be a conflict with anti-virus software.

Try temporarily disabling the anti-virus software or setting an exception for Mastercam. Our global community of Mastercam users, experts, educators, and enthusiasts helps you get the most from your investment. CNC lathe programming software is used to create toolpaths through G-code to operate computer numerical control CNC lathe machines. This allows for machine automation, where the machine cuts a part to the specifications of the input code.

Some lathes are equipped with the ability to do limited milling, and some shops modify their lathes to do light milling. In general, parts that combine both techniques are better suited for separate action on dedicated lathes and mills, or in one setup on a mill-turn machine. A CNC lathe is generally used to cut roughly cylindrical parts where the outline of the shape is symmetrical when rotated degrees around a central axis.

Some lathes allow additional non-symmetrical cutting with drills, endmills, and other milling tools. The way to get this software is through your local Mastercam Reseller. In addition, they will provide ongoing sales, service, and technical support to help you optimize the productivity of both your CNC lathes and shop at large.

CNC lathe programming software eliminates manual errors that can occur when a part is programmed by hand. It eliminates the need to perform complex mathematical equations for cutter control and allows quick adaptation to new parts.
