DelCAM --- ArtCAM (Computer-aided Design Software)

ArtCAM JewelSmith is a unique software program designed to produce beautiful 2D or 3D jewellery pieces directly from 2D artwork. Functions of ArtCAM JewelSmith include:

Creative 2D Design

Users can quickly create intricate designs from their sketches using ArtCAM JewelSmith’s intuitive design tools. The extensive vector and bitmap editing tools of ArtCAM JewelSmith allow users to create new designs as well as modifying imported images or drawings.. Besides, users can use ArtCAM JewelSmith’s Font editor to design and create their own text, symbols and logos.

Powerful 3D Modelling

ArtCAM JewelSmith’s powerful, yet easy to use modelling tools allow users to build precise high quality, free form 3D products. Its interactive sculpting tools allow users to dynamically smooth and shape their models, blending areas to give a handcrafted look. Users can make their products unique by introducing beautiful textures across defined areas, directly from 2D artwork.

Advanced Ring Creation

ArtCAM JewelSmith has a variety of built in advanced ring design tools, to allow jellewers to create a large range of totally unique designs or produce more standard traditional pieces. Users can set their finished ring with gems on screen within ArtCAM JewelSmith's real time, reflective rendering environment, and produce robust STL models of rings for transfer to other systems or for rapid prototyping. Users can also use ArtCAM JewelSmith's manufacturing functionality to import models, including rings from other CAD systems to modify, and machine. (3DS and STL file formats are supported).

CNC Machining

ArtCAM JewelSmith will calculate fast, accurate 2D and 3D toolpaths. Users can machine or engrave products directly from 2D artwork utilizing ArtCAM's extensive 2D machining and 3D engraving strategies, and machine their 3D jewellery pieces using ArtCAM's wide range of 3D machining strategies and tools from within its database, then post process the paths to drive either their 3-axis or rotary 4-axis CNC machine.

Professional Presentation

ArtCAM JewelSmith gives users the chance to define the reflective environment and also customize their rendering by creating their own backdrop images. The rendering and presentation tools will produce stunning visuals for catalogues, sales materials and win the all important customer approval.

Efficient Workflow

ArtCAM JewelSmith has an impressive range of powerful design and machining functionality. One of the major benefit to users is the speed that they are able to learn and start using the software to make them money. ArtCAM JewelSmith incorporates a number of features to allow users to start using the product immediately and as efficiently as possible. Meanwhile, it has a very user-friendly, clear and easy to navigate interface.
