A Speedy Tour of Stewart-Haas Racing

Stewart-Haas Racing is rapidly rising in the ranks, quickly becoming one of the top NASCAR teams after bringing on driver Tony Stewart last year. They’re innovative, passionate, and always looking for an edge. And they use Mastercam as a competitive advantage.

A team from Mastercam headquarters recently dropped in for a visit at Stewart-Haas. We spent some time in their well-equipped shop (stocked, of course, with a wide variety of Haas machines). Their machine shop is positioned right inside the main foyer, allowing visitors to watch them work. The shop even features a beautiful training room that our local Mastercam Reseller–Jimmy Wakeford of Barefoot CNC–occasionally uses when hosting customer events.

Visitors can stop in and watch the machine shop in action.

After going over some of the jobs and associated toolpaths they’re running, we got a quick behind-the-scenes tour of their setup. We got a first-hand look at their building and testing facilities, complete with several huge templates that are lowered over in-process car bodies to ensure they conform to tight NASCAR standards. After that, it was a quick run through their car-lined showroom, and we were off to our next stop.

Oh yes, we were tempted.

Operating System Compatibility

The question “Will this version of Mastercam run on my operating system?” comes up a lot. With so many recent operating system changes, it can be hard to keep track of which Mastercam versions will run with which Windows® operating system. We have prepared some charts indicating which operating systems support different versions of Mastercam.

Here is the legend for the charts:

Current Operating Systems – This chart below shows which Mastercam versions are supported for the operating systems you are most likely to encounter today.

Older Operating Systems – This chart shows which Mastercam versions will run on older operating systems.
