I ran a job this morning and specifically looked for the 3D tab and its waaaaaayyyyy better than before

  • Are you able to see the render? Yes
  • Can you move/rotate the render? Yes
  • It didn’t crash your machine (which it didn’t, if you can do either above) No Crash

Pi builds are linked here

We made so many updates that this version would not build on our old 32-bit build Pi, so this is the first release for the latest(ish) 64-bit version of the Pi OS.

Works as expected on my Mac, no problems at all.

I see a rotatable, movable rendition of the toolpath. It’s a wireframe, but not a “render” (i.e. solid visualization of the machining results) so for me it’s not qualitatively different than the iso toolpath view. Is it supposed to be a true simulation of the workpiece or am I reading too much into the word “render”? I may be spoiled by the MeshCam workpiece render… :slight_smile: For what is there, it displays and manipulates very cleanly and glitchless.

[EDIT] Never mind, for some reason I had not seen Rob’s screenshot in the first post. Given that, the render looks and performs perfectly. Doh on my part… :wink:

I can see the preview. Is it supposed to be animated, or just an image?

I have an HP Arris laptop running Windows 10. CM version 665 shows the 3D rendering fine. Thank you.

I just downloaded the Carbide Motion 3D Beta 665. It seems to be rendering 3d just fine. I really don’t have many 3d models in my projects, but the ones I have seem to display as I would expect

I downloaded 665 OK on my older HP laptop running Windows. I had no problem to 3D renders of several files. Thanks for moving forward with this software,

The 3D rendering worked correctly on both my Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i and my Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1.
Thanks.

Tried the new beta - the 3D test tab now works fine on my machine, never did before. In the past, mine never crashed, but did not display anything on that tab. Now I see the 3D outlines fine, can move them around too.

3D tray 10 in inside.c2d (100 KB)
This is the file, doesn’t look like full render like I see above. PC running windows 10 home. I’m a neophyte so not sure what I’m doing

Yes Will, that’s what it looks like. I was expecting a solid image.

This is running on Zorin OS perfectly.

Thank you

3D render looks fine on Lenovo Yoga 7 w/Windows 11. I don’t have any real “torture test” sized files around to try, but basic stuff works.

A solid render would require that Carbide Motion know everything about all the tools used in a file and then take the time to not only plot the tool movement but the interaction of the tool shape with the stock which adds quite a bit of complexity in addition to the added processing time.

Ok, Thanks for your explanation. Then my feedback is the beta works! I have an older HP with 8Gb RAM, and 2.5 GHz Intel processor.
