Eventually I will be buying PVCNC V8 with the Machine Building and Full Machine Simulation.

 

These STL machines are already in V7 but they wont simulate.

 

STL Fixtures and Stock work great though.

 

I think they want a hefty sum of cash.

Thought I posted my time, but guess not. Trying the screen capture thing for the first time. Lets see how it works.

I'm using a homebuilt box with ASUS Extreme Rampage Board and Q9650 processor. Air cooling. I believe I posted full build in previous post. The time is: 3 min. 9.862 sec.

Bruce, you overclocked yet? If not, it looks like you have a shot at the title when you do.

[Bruce Kanzelmeyer]

Yes, I'm up to around 4.18 ghz--I could probably do better with a little more voltage and tweek the memory a little more, but I'm really stable and temps are good. It idles in upper 20s C. When I'm calculating in MCX and have Solidworks open and my email and browser open I'm in the 40s, occasionally spiking to 50. When I run the torture test it gets into the upper 60s--it's really stable, so I'm not going to mess with it further unless I get water cooling.

Nice job with the 4.18 Ghz speed.

 

My backup board is the same one as the record holders baord and I fell certain that with the current stepping Q9550 or the hard to find Q9550S CPU I could cruise on to a new record by 5 to 10 seconds but I have an E6320 in it now. Thats a 1.86Ghz Core 2 Duo running at 3.54Ghz and I just can't bring myself to spend nearly $300 just retake the lead on a pc thats at home. The surpuising thing is that nearly 6 months after the first i7 CPU and boards were released there are none of them challenging for the lead.

Maybe there just aren't too many of us "conservative" machinists willing to spring for the "new technology" yet? I've shot my wad for the next couple of years, unless there's some tremendous breakthrough in the near future.

I don't know if it is me or not but it seems that those times for a C2D are a bit high (could be just me). What version of Mastercam are you running Bruce?

[Jayson Kramer]

I have two time from my new laptop.

One with the power plugged in and one not plugged running from battery. this takes double the time.

 

1)4.58 min from battery

 

2)2.24 min plugged in.

 

Macbook Pro

2.6 hz

4 gigs ram

running XP pro 32 bit in bootcamp

graphics are 8600 gt

Sounds like the first time is toolpath generation and the second is toolpath re-generation.

[veritasproject]

old work station time was 23.50 mins

new work stations

nvidia quadro fx 3700

intel quad core 3.00ghz

4g ram

this is so cool

Maybe he is using a Mastercam secret weapon, maybe X4??

Didn't I read that X4 is multithreaded in 5 axis & HST only?

[Jayson Kramer]

I know I saw it happen but i just did it again. and the 4.54 is the time. it kills me when I first test it I did it twice and got the under 3 in times.

But I believe after doing it again the under 5min time is it. I still feel this is fast for this setup.

[Jayson Kramer]

ok it looks like I was looking at X4 at the time. must been. I got X4 standard 3:15

Multi threading gave a time of 2:10

[Bruce Kanzelmeyer]

BBGun, I'm using X3 MU1, sorry I mis-wrote it in my signature as MR1. I'll have to fix it!

I think X4 is going to be a very popular release

 

I've been doing some amazing things thanks to multithreading

[Steve Biehl - Cimquest Inc]

just to wet your appetite for X4

 

X3 regen

 

X4 with Multi-Threading

 

The other thing is that after the 30 seconds of 'preparing...' I can go back to using Mastercam
