This is where the 3D magic happens. You can create reliefs from vectors or by importing 3D Clipart .
Familiarize yourself with the 2D View for vector drawing and the 3D View for visualizing reliefs and toolpaths. Design Fundamentals: Vectors and Reliefs
Use drawing tools to create shapes or import files from other CAD programs. Essential tools include Trim , Offset , and Fillet for refining your lines.
Getting started with can be a game-changer for your woodworking or jewelry design projects. While Autodesk discontinued the software in late 2018, it remains a powerhouse for CNC machining. This guide breaks down the core concepts found in popular ArtCAM 2018 tutorial PDFs to help you master the 64-bit environment. Getting Started with ArtCAM 2018
Once your design is ready, you need to tell your CNC machine how to cut it.
Set your material dimensions (height, width) and resolution. Higher resolution is better for complex reliefs but takes more processing power.
ArtCAM is unique because it blends 2D drawing with 3D sculpting.
When you first launch the software, you’re greeted with the . Here, you can create a New Model , open existing projects, or access recent files.
Perfect for simple cutouts, engraving, or drilling.
