We just uploaded MeshCAM V9, Build 62 with much faster 3D toolpath calculation and several fixes to improve toolpath accuracy. Here’s what’s changed:
- Much faster 3D toolpath calculation- from 2x, to 100x in some cases.
- Fixed gouges with V-bits and tapered tools near steep faces.
- Improved how waterline, roughing, and pencil toolpaths follow steep walls.
- Fixed a problem where Pencil Finish produced no toolpath after a 3D Finish using the same tool.
- Improved the simulation quality and increased the maximum simulation resolution.
- Increased the stock limits for flip jobs.
- Fixed jerky rotation in the 3D view.
- Fixed a crash after closing the Select Contours window when creating Contour and Pocket toolpaths.
