SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

[MNofsinger1]

My laptop exceeds the minimum system requirements but can not perform many functions when working with .stl files with a large facet count (often over 3+ million facets). If I reduce the number of facets I lose too much detail. I'm hoping someone can tell me what the specifications of a computer would need to be in order to simulate the toolpaths in a reasonable amount of time for let's say a complex object with a facet count in excess of 3-4 million. I'm also wondering whether Fusion 360 users think there's an inherent advantage to using an Apple computer over a PC or vice versa?

Thanks for any recommendations you might have!                                                                                                                                   My laptop's specifications are:

Could you share a sample file? I'm curious if it's the toolpaths or the models themselves 🤔
