Free demonstration versions of Delcams ArtCAM Express and ArtCAM Insignia artistic CADCAM software are now available. Both programs can be downloaded from the www.artcam.com web site or obtained on a CD by emailing mark...@delcam.com.
The CD includes a range of supporting materials, including an image gallery, case-studies and an overview of how to use ArtCAM. There are also six demonstration videos and accompanying tutorials to help prospects learn the software.
Both these trial versions are save-disabled so prospective users cannot output designs and toolpaths that they have developed. However, six sample ArtCAM models are supplied with the demonstration software. Toolpaths for these models can be created with the full set of machining strategies and output using any of the 180 standard post-processors supplied with ArtCAM. This will allow potential customers to test the software for compatibility with their machines tools before they buy.
Both ArtCAM Express and ArtCAM Insignia are aimed at skilled artisans rather than engineers and require little knowledge of engineering or computing. Indeed, ArtCAM Express is believed to be the easiest to learn and fastest to use engraving and routing software currently available. It offers basic 2D drawing, and 2D and 3D machining functions, and so provides an ideal introduction to computer-based manufacturing for companies in the signmaking, woodworking and engraving industries.
ArtCAM Insignia offers more options for mass-production applications, especially in the woodworking industries. It includes vector-based design, extensive 2D machining and basic 3D machining functionality. It also allows users to import, scale, position and machine 2D and 3D decorations and textures onto their designs, and so to manufacture more distinctive and more attractive products.
The only reason Autodesk would want Rhino is to shut it down. We embrace being nimble and responsive to users, selling the software vs renting it out & being a platform that allows the seeds of innovation to grow.
what about delcam artcam ? And delcam Powershape? delcam dental ?
And delcam crispin ?
Autodesk is only developing powermill.
I moved to Rhino when Autodesk acquired Delcam. I was using Powershape + artcam.
Hello Robert,
I bought a one year subscription to Maker, will probably upgrade to Maker+ soon. After using Smartcam for about 30 years and Mastercam for about 10 years, I appreciate the quality of your product. All of my work has been on vertical milling machines. Recently retired and excited to get my Onefinity in September. New to the artsy side, so there will definitely be a learning curve. Wondering if there is a post processor yet for the Onefinity?
