I purchased and invested a month+ learning sprutcam then when I started using it on complex fluid shapes it crashed constantly and had all kinds of import errors with Iges and solidworks file.

Just purchased a Tormach and need some cam SW.

Is BobCad-CAM the best choice for extremely low volume prototypes 3D plastic parts?

Would like to not be the first to try this combination.

Has anyone successfully used Visual Mill with a Tormach?

Scared to be the first :drowning:

I have nothing against hobby work, its just that hobby users tend to be more patient
and tolerant about non perfect operation.

Especially interested in knowing if this SW has the features and...

I'm new to milling. Can you spell out what features are missing in visual mill?

Are the features in Mecsoft Visual Mill the same as Mechsoft Visual CAM-MILL for SolidWorks?

What I expect is that areas with low curvature (big radius) should get hit by the 1/4,...

Thanks for the advice.

My computer also has plenty of memory (16G) and a solid state drive and no other programs running. So I must be getting the
program confused, as you suggest, by trying...

The only way I found to address this problem is to directly edit the generated g-code
and convert the small radius to straight lines. Making 40 such changes is very time
consuming and scary.

Thank you.

It's nice to know that It's not me or my setup. I just purchase a tormach and sprutcam, so was concern I was
doing something not correct.

Here is another 2 strange thing it did to...

Selecting faces for "finishing waterline" works sometime and not other times.

See attached pictures.

Is there a trick I don't know about or is this a bug?

I have the issue you describe even after doing a fresh install of windows8 and installing only sprutcam and MS office. So i think it is in the SW and not your system.

My version of SW is Version...
