Introduction
Superbox (also known as Offload Calcula�on Server) enables the automa�c offloading of toolpath
calcula�on tasks from all Cimatron seats in a network, freeing up the resources of individual
worksta�ons. The toolpath calcula�ons may also be accelerated, depending on the individual
worksta�on’s hardware.

A toolpath is a sequence of one or more machining procedures performed in a given set of milling
axes. A toolpath may consist of 2, 2.5, 3, 4, or 5 axis procedures.

Calcula�on tasks are offloaded to the computer where SuperBox is installed, allowing programmers
to perform other tasks on their individual computers without any delays.

SuperBox cannot be installed on a computer where Cimatron is installed, and vice versa.

The SuperBox Manager is an interface to connect your computer to one or more SuperBox servers.
You may use the SuperBox Manager either as a user or as an administrator, depending on your
permissions.

The SuperBox Manager dialog is displayed below showing the SuperBox server in opera�on. In this
example, NB-VIB-W7 is the local computer where Cimatron is installed and SB-AF31 is the name of
the SuperBox server.

SuperBox Installation
The hardware and so�ware requirements for SuperBox are detailed below.

Hardware requirements

Requirement Memory (RAM) / Processor 1 Graphics Card 2

Client computer

Minimum 16 GB RAM, 4 Cores i7 CPU 2 GB

Recommended 64 GB RAM, 10 Cores i9 CPU 4 GB

SuperBox seat

Recommended 128 GB RAM, 10 Cores i9 CPU Built-in GPU 3

Best 128 GB RAM, 12 Cores i9 CPU Built-in GPU 3

Addi�onal Requirements

20 GB Free Hard Drive Space – Important for the Machine Swap File

Internet Connec�on and No Blocking Firewall

1 To gain beter I/O performance, it is recommended using a solid state hard drive (SSD). Windows and
Cimatron should be installed on the SSD. The file management should be configured on a different
hard drive, local or network based.
2 Quadro cards from Nvidia and FirePro, and Radeon Pro cards from AMD, are the most recommended
cards for CAD/CAM so�ware.
The performance of graphics cards is closely related to driver version and memory size. The newer the
driver and the greater the memory, the beter the graphics card’s performance.
The graphics card must support OpenGL 3.3. For recommended graphics cards, see the following
website: htps://cimgraphics.cimatron.com/.
3 The SuperBox seat is only used for CPU-based calcula�ons; therefore, the GPU is not relevant.

Power options
As the SuperBox server must be con�nually powered up and running (the server cannot �meout and
go to sleep), the Power Op�ons must be set during the installa�on to:

 Power Plan = High Performance


 All �meout se�ngs for the Display and Sleep = Never

The Power Op�ons (under the system Control Panel) are a collec�on of hardware and system se�ngs
that manage how the computer uses power.
