Project Information - this shows the actual size of the artwork and height of the relief File – These options are applied when creating new, or opening existing ArtCAM models. Information can be hidden or shown by clicking the arrows up or down. Sub menus are indicated and selected via the arrow at the right hand side (where applicable).ĪrtCAM Assistant The ArtCAM Assistant gives the most information and help. For example the top part of the Vectors menu appears as in the illustration to the right. If a menu item does not apply to the currently active view it will be greyed out. Menu Bar At the top of the Main window, there is a Menu Bar.Ĭlicking on a menu item opens a pull-down menu that contains submenus and commands. ArtCAM commands are accessed from the Menu Bar options or direct from the Assistant area. Alternatively pressing the F2 or F3 shortcut key can be used to toggle the views. ĪrtCAM opens up displaying the 2D view, with the 3D relief view hidden beneath Transfer between is achieved via the 3D or 2D icon located at the top left of the respective window.
If a high Resolution is applied, the model is broken into more pixels, which is in turn reflected in the definition and quality of the Relief model. The first relief uses a low resolution, which means a loss of fine detail in the resulting 3D relief. Each square is given a height in ArtCAM dependent upon the command used. Resolution The dragon model shows the 2D view of the model broken up into a number of squares (pixels). As a result it is important to use as higher quality image as possible. When working with bitmaps the Resolution is inherited from the imported image file. Each square defined by the Resolution will either, stay put or extrude up or down to produce a tiny part of the 3D Relief form. A new model must have:- A defined area in Y and X to work in, an origin (datum) position, and a Resolution (The total number of squares within the working area).
Projects will be covered later at a more advanced stage of the training course. To start working in ArtCAM the user must first for simple components, create a New Model or for more complex assemblies, a New Project. The ArtCAM user interface will appear as shown above.
In the Delcam training department ArtCAM Training Course files to be used in conjunction with the course notes are stored in:- D:/users/training/Artcam_Data 2D Toolpaths can also be created based on 2D Vectors. The toolpaths can be simulated to allow complete visualisation of the product before manufacture. Once a Relief has been created 3D toolpaths are easily generated for roughing, finishing and engraving. ArtCAM Pro contains tools for editing and/or combining Reliefs. ArtCAM can also import 3D Surface data, which is translated on entry as a Relief model. These vectors and bitmaps can be generated within ArtCAM or imported from other systems. ArtCAM Pro allows complex Reliefs (ArtCAM 3D models) to be created quickly and easily from 2D vectors (ArtCAM wireframe) or bitmaps (Image files). Extrude, Spin, Turn, and 2 Rail Sweep, Reliefsġ5.
