The relief is now created and visible in the 3D view.ġ5 Hide the vectors in the 3D by turning off the Toggle Vector Visibility buttonġ6 Rotate the relief by holding down the mouse wheel and moving the mouse. Next hide the image and use the vectors to create a 3D relief.ġ0 Click on the Display Material button to hide the image and show the model in ArtCAM gold relief color.ġ1 Drag a window with the mouse to select all the vectors.ġ3 Choose the Round as the Shape Profile. This form allows the number of colours in the Bitmap to be reduced by entering the required number or moving the slider bar.ħ Change the Number of colors to 2 before selecting Apply.ĩ Close the Bitmap To Vector page with the X The images contains multiple shades of black and white and needs to be reduced to allow ArtCAM to quickly trace vector wireframe around the image. The image opens in ArtCAM in the 3D View. The Open option will load in existing ArtCAM Files and import images.ģ Navigate to the training Data Files and open Flourish-Image.jpg.(Attached above)Ĥ In the Set Model Size screen, choose the Units as mm or inch and change the Height as follows then click OK: With a few simple steps, an image is imported, traced with vectors, and then modelled into a 3D relief.
The following tutorial is quick introduction into the world of ArtCAM. Feel free to save the files to your own directory. Note: All files can be found at the bottom of each lesson. This course will cover all the basics you need to know to create projects in ArtCAM! The toolpaths can then be simulated to allow complete visualisation of the product before machining. Multiple toolpaths are easily generated for roughing, finishing and engraving. Once a 3D relief has been created, toolpaths can be generated to machine it. ArtCAM can also import 3D Surface data, which is translated on entry or after as a Relief model.ĪrtCAM contains tools for editing the reliefs and combining stored reliefs.
These vectors and bitmaps can be generated within ArtCAM or imported from other systems. You can download a free 30 day trial of ArtCAM here, or subscribe to the full software package.ĪrtCAM allows complex reliefs (ArtCAM 3D models) to be created quickly and easily from 2D vectors (ArtCAM Wireframe) or bitmaps (Image files). ArtCAM Standard is a single solution for designing and making with CNC in the woodworking industry.
