Newbe Question.

Ok- I think I've got a fix. I realized that I have an optimization in the code for very small triangles like the ones in your model. Unfortunately, I've optimized for speed, not for memory usage. I think I've come up with a fix that will reduce the memory use by a lot and not affect the accuracy of your toolpath ( and hopefully not the toolpaths of others with similar models). It will be released in the next update- probably in a few days.

Thanks for the help on this.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the update on your progress. Looking forward to trying the new version, when it is available.
I will have to find some more .stl files now.

Best regards,

Tweakie.

It's up there now- go ahead and download it to see if it works for you.

Much better. Uses about 100Mb with the model loaded, and about 500Mb more to create the toolpaths. Thanks again.

No- thank you guys for giving MeshCAM a good workout.
