INSTALL THE SOFTWARE: WINDOWS 10 ONLY
In order to design the part you'll make during hands-on training, you'll need some software on your computer. Once you can login to the Omax site with your new account, go to
https://resource-downloads.omax.com/Software
and login again. You'll get a page that lets you download the Omax software, called IntelliMAX.
On the pull-down,
- select Intelli-MAX
- then GlobalMAX
- then Windows 10 (it's the only choice)
- then Released
- and finally English.
You should see a download arrow that looks like an arrow pointing down from a cloud. Click on it, and a 482M zip file file will transfer; extract it and see a single ~494M Application in the directory. Double click to install. The usual "Software Installation Wizard" will pop up; click Next, Next and "Configure as an offline / desktop PC" Accept the license and the default installation directory.
After a restart, there will be a desktop icon for Omax MAKE. Launch it and follow these instructions: File:Registering IntelliMAX Software Online-1.pdf They are a bit out of date; registration is done completely online rather than with the phone call referenced in the handout.
