ModuleWorks reports the successful testing of the ModuleWorks CAM Engine on a Snapdragon ARM processor running Windows. These results confirm the stability and performance of ModuleWorks components on the ARM architecture, according to ModuleWorks.

Why ARM is a Game-Changer for CAM

ARM processors, with lower power consumption, extend battery life and produce less heat, keeping devices cooler during intensive computational tasks. For CAM vendors and solution providers, there is opportunity to offer advanced solutions on mobile and lightweight devices, according to ModuleWorks.

Tests Confirm ModuleWorks is ARM-Ready

The ModuleWorks CAM Engine has been rigorously tested on a Snapdragon X Elite SoC with Windows 11 on a laptop.

Key Test Results

Identical toolpath quality: ModuleWorks software generates identical, high-quality toolpaths on ARM and x86 processors

High performance: ModuleWorks with Snapdragon X on native ARM delivers processing performance similar to x86 processors, particularly on 12 threads. 

Benefits of Running ModuleWorks on Native ARM

Performance: Running ModuleWorks on native ARM delivers fast processing times, company says.

Energy Efficiency: ARM architecture offers energy efficiency, which translates to longer battery life for mobile devices running the ModuleWorks CAM Engine.

Portability: End users can leverage the power of high-end CAM software on lightweight, portable devices.

How to Get the ModuleWorks ARM Software Libraries

The ModuleWorks CAM Engine is available now as native ARM software libraries.
