To manufacture the complete design with greater ease, ArtCAM gives the user more export options to divide their design into slices so that it can be machined on a smaller CNC machine, laser engraved or 3D printed.įurthermore, there are significant enhancements to the 2D design tools available across the range, including Delcam’s entry-level software ArtCAM Express, which starts at only £99.
On the machining side, should the furniture manufacturer not wish to use a CNC tool from ArtCAM’s database they can add their own custom tool using an open vector (line) to represent the tool’s profile. In addition, some of the newly enhanced extrude, turn and spin 3D modelling tools have been moved from Pro into Insignia to give it even greater 3D modelling functionality.įor rotary pieces such as columns or chair legs, ArtCAM 2015 includes the option to create a rotary piece with the preferred diameter or circumference prior to embellishing, or to first create a 2D/ 3D design and then wrap it to make the final piece.ĭevelopments are not restricted to 3D modelling. It is invaluable when creating a series of variants on a design, such as a number of flowers making up a bouquet or changing subtle details of a piece.Ĭontinuing with the live & interactive theme, the ArtCAM development team has given its 3D modelling tools an overhaul so that both Pro and Insignia users can instantly see their relief artwork take shape.ĪrtCAM Insignia, the introductory 3D modelling and production machining package, now has real-time 3D shape creation with the Shape Editor and Two Rail Sweep tools. This tool gives designers the freedom to experiment with ideas and immediately see if they have promise without investing significant time.
The new Putty tool available in ArtCAM Pro, the advanced product in the ArtCAM range, allows designers to interactively alter their design by displacing, whirling, pinching, or puckering areas of a 3D or 2D design. Throughout the range, functionality has been added to increase both the speed and ease of use, including its new live & interactive 3D modelling which has excited ArtCAM users. ArtCAM 2015 is the new range of artistic CADCAM software from Delcam set to benefit furniture designers and manufacturers.
