I keep seeing an error when ever I open master cam that reads. Mastercam has detected a problem with the display adapter ('Intel" : 'Intel(R) HD Graphics 520' : 4.5.0 - Build 23.20.16.4973') and needs to shut down. Please modify the system settings to ensure Mastercam is using the correct adapter. I just need to use mastercam this semester and I have had nothing but issues. But most recent is this error that pops up when I try to open the program. I found an old forum of someone who had the same issue but I couldn't find the mastercam.workspace file in the config folder, if this is the problem then where is it?. I gave mastercam full permission but that didn't work. I also updated all of my drivers on the dell website that also didn't help. Also did I make a mistake making it shared? I feel like this maybe it? I also got access to this program through buying it at the library for one year. I'm running mastercam 2023 because that's what I need for my class despite it being 2024. Also is it because of my laptop? I feel like it's not because it never gave me an error and installed easily. When my computer didn't meet the requirement of other programs the program has let me know. Thank you for any help.

Hello Community, I'm new to using software to estimate the milling time of a part specially using Mastercam. I was curious to understand how the total length of milling is calculated. can someone please explain to me how it is calculated in Mastercam considering a tool depth of 8mm for example? thank you all for your help in advance.

Hello all, I am new and this is my first post. I am a student learning Mastercam with a purchased copy of camInstructor. I am working with Mastercam2019 and have completed the majority of the 2D mill lessons successfully. However I am stuck on problem that I can't seem to get myself through. It involves slotting each side of a cube. 5 of the 6 sides will slot fine. The 6th side will not regenerate its toolpath and Mastercam displays a boundary warning. I have attached a picture of the part. I have searched the forum archives and found similar posts but nothing that has helped. Details are as follows; -I complete the courses, step by step, as outlined which includes CADing the part in Mastercam and then running toolpaths -I am fairly proficient with certain aspects of Fusion360 therefore I redo the Mastercam lessons but instead I use .STEP models that I designed in Fusion360 and import them into Mastercam. They are dimensionally the same as the lesson blueprints -Currently I am working with a cube that has a slot on each of it's 6 sides. --The lesson is teaching me to create 6 planes and then creating toothpaths on each one of those planes. -When I go to regenerate my left side toolpath it fails and gives me the following warning. "Boundary must be closed and include two parallel, and straight sides. For example, use Create Rectangle with Rectangular Shape set to Obround" -I copy and past the toothpath to each plane. The only change I make in my parameters include rechaining the slot and changing the WCS, T, and C planes. -When I rechain the slots I am using the face option and select the bottom of each slot as a face. -5 out of the 6 sides work 100%. I have one side that fails. -I have rebuilt my model 3 times in Fusion360 and I keep the model as clean as possible using the slot feature. I slot each side identically in Fusion360. I have no overlapping lines or open entities. -I have attached my .emcam file and my .step file that was create in Fusion 360. I could continue to outline all the things I have tried to rectify my problem but TBH everything is getting fairly jumbled in my head. Any help, and suggestions, would be greatly appreciated.

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) is a hands-on, project based curriculum that aligns with national standards. Projects are tailored to Secondary/Post-Secondary students and range from beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. While a beginner project may take students through the basic steps, a more advanced project will investigate the concepts and principles behind each task, meeting the focus of true STEM integration. The Catapult Project will feature Force and Newton laws, Building the Catapult and Additional STEM activities. The project begins with a review of physics’ concepts related to Force and Newton’s laws of motion. Students will then be exposed to designing and manufacturing a Catapult followed by completing hands-on STEM-oriented activities, research and journal writings to enhance literacy skills. This STEM Curriculum Student Workbook is designed to keep students excited and engaged in the activities. This material comes with student Worksheets that directly correlate to the companion “Instructor Guidebook” material. The material covered in this curriculum emphasises CNC mill, 3D printing and laser engraver applications in conjunction with any type of CAD package (For Example: Solidworks, AutoCAD, Catia, etc). Overall, this material is designed to integrate Science and Math activities into hands-on Engineering and Technology Coursework. To order this book, contact us here or visit our eStore here.Free -

I bought the student version of x6 for school. The student version does not allow you to post the file and generate code. Was told to use the version the school was using to do this. They have x5. Their version is not allowing me to post from x6 and my version is not allowing me to change the file to do so either. Any ideas? Also heard that there is a chance that I may loose my toolpaths by posting from 6 to 5. Is this true? Thank you
