Hardware for the models you work on
Mesh complexity and the number of output parts matter more than file size alone.
Configuration guide
| Workload | CPU | RAM | Storage & graphics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small meshes About 4–5 MB, 4–8 parts | Core i5 or equivalent | 8 GB | 256 GB SSD; integrated OpenGL graphics |
| Larger projects Dozens or hundreds of parts | Core i7 minimum; Core i9 / equivalent Ryzen recommended | 16 GB minimum; 32 GB recommended | 1 TB SSD, preferably NVMe; OpenGL GPU with 4–8 GB VRAM |
| Very large meshes Around 500 MB and above | High-performance desktop or laptop CPU | 64–128 GB may be needed | NVMe SSD with ample working space; capable OpenGL graphics |
These are sizing guidelines, not limits or guaranteed performance. The minimum display resolution listed for the application is 1920 × 1080.
Storage & graphics
Splitting primarily uses the CPU and system RAM. The GPU handles the 3D view. Keep its manufacturer’s graphics drivers current.
Use a local SSD for active Workzones. Cloud synchronization can conflict with intermediate files while they are being written; copy completed projects back to cloud storage afterward.
Laptops can work well with an SSD and suitable OpenGL graphics. Low-power CPUs will generally take longer on large operations.
