: Import a standard black-and-white or color image and use the Bitmap to Vector tool to automatically trace cleaner line art.
Before you can create 3D art, you must master the 2D foundation. These tutorials focus on drawing and manipulating the line work (vectors) that dictate your 3D shapes.
: Double-click a vector to open the Shape Editor. Here you can add domes, pyramids, or flat planes to your vectors, and control start heights and combine modes (Add, Subtract, Merge High). ArtCAM Pro Tutorials
While the software was discontinued by Autodesk and largely succeeded by Carveco, ArtCAM Pro remains a powerful, widely used staple in woodworking, engraving, and jewelry design.
: Maximize your material by utilizing the Nesting tool. This automatically arranges multiple parts on a sheet to minimize material waste before cutting. 🗿 Level 2: 3D Relief Creation : Import a standard black-and-white or color image
: Learn to drop vector points, manipulate spans, and insert nodes by pressing I on your keyboard to refine shapes.
This feature breaks down the essential tutorials you need to master the software's core capabilities. 📐 Level 1: Vector Generation & Editing : Double-click a vector to open the Shape Editor
Transform flat vectors into stunning three-dimensional carvings using ArtCAM's mathematical shape engines.
