The recommended internet connection for using CAM Assist isn't a fixed number, but requires a stable, broadband internet connection.
While no specific bandwidth number is officially quoted, a high-speed connection (for example, at least a few Mbps upload/download) is suggested to ensure smooth operation. CAM Assist processes data via the cloud, so a reliable internet link is required.
Why do internet connection speeds matter for CAM Assist?
CAM Assist sends your part data to CloudNC’s servers and returns toolpaths, so internet speed and stability directly affect how this process takes. A faster connection means quicker upload of the CAD model and faster downloading of the resulting CAM program. If your connection is very slow or unstable, you might experience long generation times or even timeouts.
Where can I find / adjust internet connection settings in CAM Assist?
CAM Assist itself doesn’t have settings for internet connection – it relies on your computer’s network.
