Artcam:
2D Design: Whether you need to create a design from scratch or work with data from another software program, ArtCAM Pro’s design tools give you the flexibility to do what you need, when you need it.
ArtCAM’s advanced vector and bitmap editing and incredible control over fonts, allows you to create new designs as well as modify imported images or drawings.
Text can be easily created, edited and manipulated to give the desired effect.
Importing designs and imagery is easy. ArtCAM has import filters for most standard file formats including ai, eps, dwg, dxf, bmp, jpg, tif and gif files. All of which can quickly and easily be used to build high quality 3D models.

3D Modeling: ArtCAM’s powerful, yet easy to use modeling tools allow you to build high quality, free form 3D products from your 2D designs, faster than you ever thought possible.
ArtCAM’s interactive 3D Sculpting tools allow you to dynamically smooth and shape your models, blending areas to give a hand-crafted look.
ArtCAM allows you to automatically introduce beautiful textures into your designs by directly converting photos into 3D data, adding value to your finished products.
Give shape to your text by quickly creating 3D lettering directly from your existing true type fonts. Easily create a Beveled, Incised or 3D look.
Personalize your products by using ArtCAM’s 3D Face Wizard. Within 15 minutes you can convert a digital photograph of a face (side profile only) into a high quality 3D model ready to add to your existing ArtCAM designs.

CNC Machining: Minimize production times and maximize profits by allowing ArtCAM to calculate fast, accurate 3D toolpaths. Machining your part could’t be simpler, as ArtCAM will utilize a wide range of strategies and tools from within its database, then post process the paths to drive your CNC Router.
Production Tools Included
• 3D Rest Machining reduces machining time and hand finishing, by automatically detecting and routing only the areas left un-machined by a larger tool.
• Extremely efficient True Shape Nesting reduces material waste and saves you money.
• 3D Bevel Carving and V-Bit Incised Carving allows you to create a hand carved look with your router with minimal machining time.
• Automatic Inserts and Inlays ensures intricate designs and parts can be assembled.
• Advanced 2D Profiling strategies with options to control the shape and position of lead-in and lead-out moves to help improve edge finish.

Presentation of Product: View your finished signs or wood products on screen. Assign custom materials and finishes, then move and rotate the finished product within a fully reflective environment.
ArtCAM Pro gives you the chance to define the reflective environment and also create your own. Customize your interface by creating your own backdrop images, giving you the chance to tailor your copy of ArtCAM Pro. Import scenic views or add your own company logos even those of the customer you are presenting to.
The rendering and presentation tools will produce stunning visuals for catalogues, sales materials and win the all important customer approval.

Efficient Workflow:
As you have seen ArtCAM Pro has an impressive range of powerful design and machining functionality. However one of the main benefit to most of our end users is the speed that they are able to learn and start using the software to make them money. ArtCAM Pro incorporates a number of features to allow you to start using the product immediately and as efficiently as possible.
ArtCAM Pro is housed within a very user-friendly, clear and easy to navigate interface.
At every stage of the design and manufacturing process, you have access to help documents explaining every feature. The help text appears directly by the tool you require information, rather than have to trail endlessly through help search menus as is the case in so many other systems.
ArtCAM Pro allows you to set your own preferences for how the software operates. These include the default 2D drawing colors, toolpath strategies and general ArtCAM behavior. The software is supplied a comprehensive set of tutorials to help you master the techniques.
