SmartCAM V16 System Requirements

System requirements for SmartCAM V16 have not changed from SmartCAM V14 which added the ACIS® solid-modeling kernel to all applications and OpenGL graphics in the main graphics window, additions that provide solid model import, export and display capability. The system requirements for SmartCAM V16 applications were upgraded in support of those enhancements.

SmartCAM users updating from SmartCAM V13 or earlier applications should compare their current systems to the current V16 system requirements and make any necessary changes prior to installation.
