[QUOTE="mir0, post: 106812, member: 2447"] [SIZE=1]Guys - most likely the problems you are having are the [B]data corruption errors[/B] caused by your PCs during CAM tool paths calculations. Small little (uncorrected) error or skipped bit and the whole calculated "thing" is just [B]GARBAGE[/B]. CAM tool paths calculation is quite intensive and resource demanding process - it needs [B]REAL WORKSTATION PC[/B] with REAL workstation components to run reliably and give you consistent results. If you are using "[B]regular over the counter PC[/B]" or even a "[B]powerful gaming PC[/B]" - and it was working OK for you - it is just [B]pure LUCK[/B] - and it will end soon or later. And when it does - you will loose more money (and time) then if you've invested in REAL workstation PC in the first place. Personally I do NOT like buying ready made WORKSTATION PCs from big manufacturers like DELL, HP or Lenovo because they use proprietary components and you are locked to their service and parts if you need one. I prefer to custom build my own PCs from the best universally available components - much easier to service them later on. Here are a few "[B]MUST HAVE[/B]" when building or shopping for one: [/SIZE] [LIST] [*][SIZE=1]- [B]professional Intel chipset[/B] motherboard with [B]Intel XEON[/B] processor and [B]ECC[/B] memory support (like: [B]Supermicro X9SRA[/B]) [/SIZE] [*][SIZE=1]- minimum of 32GB of [B]ECC[/B] memory ([B]Error Correcting Code)[/B][/SIZE] [*][SIZE=1]- minimum of 240GB SSD - Solid State Drive - Hard Drive (professional - like: [B]Intel [/B][/SIZE][SIZE=1][B]520 [/B][/SIZE][SIZE=1][B]SSD[/B])[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=1]- 90+ Gold or Platinium [B]SeaSonic[/B] PSU (power supplay unit) [/SIZE] [*][SIZE=1]- if your CAM software uses video card for calculation - your video card also needs to have [B]ECC memory[/B] (like: [B]nVidia Quadro 6000[/B])[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=1]- good computer case with plenty of [B]air circulation[/B] for cooling of ALL components inside[/SIZE] [*][SIZE=1]- [B][SIZE=1]Windows 7 x64 (64-bit[/SIZE]) PRO or ULTIMATE !!![/B][/SIZE] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
