    Downloaded MeshCAM v9 from Alibre runs extremely slow

    Slow means it takes 30 seconds or more to load, and when it does it seems to be loading multiple versions as the screen flickers and an occasional ”not responding” message occurs. Finally the welcome splash screen. But still not info on the left side main menu area. May finally load a file but...

    Publish PDF will not include 3D model

    Thanx for the quick comeback. This version is ver.14 in 64 bit. Actually went back to my other computer, v12 and did the pdf with the same files and text with no problems so I assume I am missing something with v14. I also assume if it wasn't the correct version of the pdf software to work...

    Plastics and Metal Design Guides

    There are really no definitive guides to totally design a plastic part. Most of what you read will deal with general rules for designing ribs, vertical walls, location of holes, etc. I have been in plastics for over 30 years and molded/designed quite a few odd products. Basically my theory...
