MASTERCAM

Mastercam® is a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software program used by manufacturing professionals, such as machinists and computer numerical control (CNC) programmers. This software helps users produce mechanical drawings of machine parts, learn how to operate CNC lathes and mills, and create 3-dimensional wire frame models. Mastercam, CNC Software’s main product, started as a 2D CAM system with CAD tools that let machinists design virtual parts on a computer screen and also guided computer numerical controlled machine tools in the manufacture of parts. Since then, Mastercam has grown into the most widely used CAD/CAM package in the world. CNC Software, Inc.

During Modeling and Assemblies activities, Mastercam® will not take advantage of may CPU cores. The best performance for such tasks is achieved with the fastest top core speed. The Intel® i7 and i9 are favored to the XEON® CPU delivering the best performance/price ratio. Simulation and Rendering will take full advantage of multiple cores and hyper thread capabilities. The i9-14900KF represents the optimal value with 8 Performance-cores + 16 Efficient-cores and 32 Threads with a high clock spread. @Xi provides professionally overclock versions favoring an absolute top core or all cores at higher frequency to deliver optimal balanced Modeling & Simulation Mastercam performance. HW assisted OpenGL capabilities are a must, therefore only NVIDIA RTX™ (previously Quadro) Professional Graphics cards are offered. SSD are also a must and NVMe M.2 are recommended. For budgets and requirements beyond the Platinum configuration, Threadripper™ PRO series and XEON CPU can be custom quoted.
