Sheetcam system requirements/Mac?

Post by buildhauer »

I've just purchased a used inc router and am in the process of building a inc plasma. I'm interested in sheetcam and am having difficulty finding any information on the current versions system requirements, also is there a Mac version?

Thanks

System requirements are pretty low. Any computer that is less than 5 years old will be fine. It does depend a bit on the type of work you do. If you do mechanical parts, brackets etc you can use just about any computer capable of running XP or later. If you do complex artistic work it helps to have a bit more horsepower.

I don't have a Mac version. Some people have had success using the Windows version with WineBottler http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/ or by running a Windows virtual machine such as Parallels or Virtual Box. These configurations aren't officially supported so if you have problems I'll try to help but I can't guarantee it will work. I' definitely recommend trying before you buy.
