Delcam is soon to launch its latest CADCAM software range, ArtCAM 2009. Providing diverse markets worldwide such as; coinage, packaging, signage, architecture, house wares, musical instruments and ice sculptures, you will soon be able to:

Work in the 3D view

With less buttons to toggle through users will be able to select vectors, highlight 2D shapes and colours and then use the shape editor all within the 3D View. Individual objects or groups of objects can also be selected and nudged.

Customise Your Sculpting Tools

in addition to much faster and smoother real-time rendering ArtCAM users will be able to create their own sculpting brushes. This can be done by importing textures or using their own 2D design and using the relief layer as a template.

Create Low Level Embossed Reliefs

The ‘Embossing Tool’ will dramatically transform the design process for coin dies & moulds. Within seconds it reduces a model’s height whilst maintaining the prominent details & illusion of depth. 

Analyse Your Relief Before Machining

To prevent any timely or costly manufacturing delays the ‘Relief Analysis Tool’ highlights any sharp edges or discontinuities within the design that could cause subsequent problems in the die. This allows engravers to make any necessary design modifications.

Quickly Gain Customer Approval

‘The 3D PDF Viewer’ will greatly assist companies offering bureau services. Rather than e-mailing screenshots of various angles of your ArtCAM model, you will be able to click on ‘Save 3D View’ and send an accurate and rotatable PDF of your model.
