Based on our Tebis Helpdesk experience, we’d like to assist you in selecting the appropriate hardware for your Tebis workstations. This will ensure that you'll be using Tebis software in the best possible way whenever you procure equipment.
Requirements can vary depending on the customer environment and application. Our recommendations are therefore only a rough guideline. Please contact Tebis support if you require further information.
Tebis software can be installed on any personal computer running a Windows operating system that meets the following requirements:
Supported operating system | Windows 10 (64-bit), Windows 11 (64-bit) |
CPU | Intel x86 architecture with 64-bit support (x86-64) with at least 3.00 GHz clock frequency |
RAM | Minimum 16 GB RAM |
GPU | Professional CAD workstation graphics cards (AMD Radeon Pro WX or NVIDIA) |
Other2 | 2 GB free disk space for the installation 1 free USB port or a USB sharing device (for single-workstation solutions) Keyboard and mouse for operating the software Optional: 3D animation device Optional: COM port(s) are used for connecting older serial machines |
You can equip your workstations for different levels of performance depending on your specific requirements and areas of use. The variants listed below are examples for orientation and are intended to illustrate the typical performance levels in the CAD/CAM environment.
Nevertheless, depending on requirements, a high-level workstation may also make sense for smaller CAD files – for example, when calculations, simulations, or visualizations need to be performed as quickly as possible.
Entry level
For working with medium-sized CAD files (max. 1 GB). Suitable for processing prismatic parts like mold plates and 3D manufacturing parts with low-complexity free-form surfaces involving calculations with moderate run times.
CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 9600X |
RAM | 16 GB |
Hard drive | M.2 NVMe SSD |
GPU | AMD Radeon PRO W7500 |
Mid level
For working with large CAD files (approx. 1-3 GB). Suitable for complete processing of dies, molds, models, and gauges with stringent requirements on surface quality.
CPU | AMD Ryzen 7 9700X |
RAM16 | 64 GB |
GPU | AMD Radeon PRO W7700 |
High level
For working with very large CAD files (> 3 GB). Suitable for processing highly complex parts and mesh models with the most stringent requirements for results and performance.
CPU | AMD Ryzen 9 9950X |
RAM | 128 GB |
Hard drive | M.2 NVMe SSD |
GPU | AMD Radeon PRO W7800 |
Here are some examples for the current generation of professional CAD workstation graphics cards. The examples refer to the levels of performance described under “Recommended workstations”.
Generally, consumer and/or gaming graphics cards (e.g., NVIDIA GeForce or AMD Radeon) can also be used for CAD applications. However, these cards are not tested or certified for professional CAD software. Therefore, no functional guarantee, stability, or support can be provided for their use.
Integrated graphics solutions (e.g., integrated Intel UHD or AMD Radeon iGPU) are not suitable for professional CAD applications because they lack the necessary computing power and certified drivers.
Therefore, the use of workstation graphics cards (e.g., NVIDIA RTX A series or AMD Radeon PRO) is expressly recommended for productive environments.
