Keep in mind that my experiences are in a school setting with some new computers but mostly older ones. Our project involved bitmap trace in Inkscape -> svg -> cad/cam -> machine out of MDF on a small router. Bitmap trace can produce huge files with little effort; in fact, most of the effort is in simplifying the vector artwork to make it manageable in CAD software. ________________________________ From: Martin Dobbins <tu...@hotmail.com> Sent: Saturday, October 22, 2022 11:56:47 AM To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) <emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Fusion 360
Your saying it is a "resource hog" does not bode well for running it on a virtual machine that doesn't have hardware horsepower. Thanks, Thaddeus ________________________________ From: Thaddeus Waldner I’ve done Fusion 360 CAD/CAM classes with middle school kids (age 10-14). While it was mostly an exercise on how to follow instructions, many of them knew their way around the software and could begin making changes on their own by the time it was over. I reiterate that it is a resource hog, much more so than Solidworks or Onshape. It becomes painfully slow on anything with less than 16gb memory or with mediocre single-threaded CPU performance. It seems that none of those CAD packages are optimized much for multi-core processors. > On Oct 21, 2022, at 6:04 PM, Matthew Herd <herd.m...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I use fusion on both windows and Mac.
