Why is EasyRx 3D Running Slow? Let's find out.

When EasyRx 3D is running slow, there could be several reasons for it. Most of the issues are usually on the client's side, which means they are related to your own computer and internet connection. Here are some common factors that could contribute to the slowness:

  1. Antivirus Software: Check if your antivirus software is running in the background and affecting the performance of EasyRx 3D. Sometimes, antivirus programs can slow down certain applications.

  2. Computer RAM: Having insufficient RAM (Random Access Memory) on your computer can cause slow performance. Make sure you have enough RAM to handle the 3D editing tasks. Generally, 16GB of RAM is recommended for smooth editing.

  3. Internet Connection: A stable and fast internet connection is crucial for optimal performance in EasyRx 3D. Check your Wi-Fi connection and run an internet speed test to ensure you have a reliable connection.

To enhance your experience with EasyRx 3D, follow these recommendations:

  • Choose the right web browser: It's best to use the latest versions of Chrome (64-bit), Firefox, or Edge for editing in 3D. Avoid using Safari or Internet Explorer, as they may not provide the best performance.

  • Video Card RAM: To support 3D editing, make sure your computer has a video card with 6 to 8GB of RAM. Sufficient video card memory is necessary for smooth rendering and manipulation of 3D models.

In addition to client-side factors, it's worth considering if server overload could be a cause of slow performance during busier times. EasyRx servers are involved in specific tasks:

  1. Loading the file: When you first open 3D, the file is loaded from the server.

  2. Label text retrieval: The server generates the text for the label and sends it to the client.

  3. File saving: When saving your work, the file is sent back to the server.

If these tasks are slow, it could be due to server issues, but often it's related to client-side factors like antivirus software.

When using EasyRx 3D, remember to follow the correct editing order: Begin with Orient, handle any necessary editing on the left column, and finish with Trim - Base - Label on the right.

It's important to note that tasks like orienting, trimming, basing, EasyBracket Removal, Artifact Removal Tool, and carving the label into the model are all performed solely on the client side, meaning they rely on your computer's processing power and are not affected by server performance.
