Whats new in ArtCAM 2009

Now Available In ArtCAM Pro 2010

Just some of the new features and enhancements in the latest version of our award-winning design and manufacturing (CADCAM) software, ArtCAM Pro 2010 include:

Customise your own interface

Customise Your User Interface:

You can now free up your design space by hiding any unused tools, creating shortcuts for your frequently used commands or making your own toolbox.

“The new interface is clean and uncluttered so there is no real need for multiple screens. I love the ability to create my own shortcut keys and toolbox; it makes my work time even shorter.”

Michael Buckley : Michael’s Designs

Design in 3D.

Design In The 3D View:

You can now save time by drawing, painting and sculpting directly in the 3D view.

“The significant changes to the interactive sculpting tools really make ArtCAM standout from other products."

Todd Bailey : 4M3D Creative Design

Double Sided Modelling

Simultaneously Model Both Sides Of Your Design:

With ArtCAM’s new double-sided relief modelling you no longer need to swap to and from the front and back of your model. Instead you can see both sides simultaneously and even sculpt on a complete piece to see the results of your work instantly.

“What a timesaver! Now I don't have to sit around making meshes anymore."

Michael Buckley : Michael’s Designs

Create a

Effortlessly Create A "Raised-Round" Engraving:

ArtCAM can now use selected vector artwork and a user-defined cross-section directly to create the efficient, high-quality, toolpaths typically required for embossing & foiling dies.

Texturing in 3D

Create Visually Complex Texture Patterns

By using simple repeating toolpath elements, ArtCAM can now produce texture patterns that are quick to make and fast to machine.

This 2D Textures strategy is ideal for sign designs and panels!

Highlight The Manufacturing Limits of Your Model While You Design

Using the new "Relief Analysis Mode" ArtCAM will constantly highlight any wall angles & gradients of your design that fall outside prescribed limits. This instantly allows a designer to visualise potential problem areas within a model.

These areas can then be smudged or smoothed out to avoid many of the common issues relating to mould or embossing tool design.

Multi-core CPU caluclation capabilities

Benefit From Faster Calculation Times

ArtCAM now incorporates the very latest multi-threading machining strategies from Delcam’s leading CAM system, PowerMILL. On modern multi-core PC’s this can lead to dramatic reductions in the calculation time when machining a relief model.

ArtCAM also benefits from a number of new machining options & enhancements, usually only associated with higher-end, specialist, CAM packages.

“The new multithreading technology will undoubtedly speed up the calculation times for creating and editing our toolpaths.”
