In addition to the enhanced design functionality, a great deal of technology from Delcam’s industry-leading CAM system, PowerMILL, has been incorporated into ArtCAM JewelSmith over the past year. The advantage to users is the even faster calculation times for machining. ArtCAM JewelSmith’s integrated machining wizards set the machine toolpaths or provide the necessary output files for CNC machining or rapid prototyping.
For jewelry produced from more than one material, ArtCAM JewelSmith can divide the design into separate files for manufacturing.
To help visualize the design, ArtCAM offers rendering in numerous materials, including gold and platinum. Jewelry pieces can be assembled on screen, with the gems set in place, assigned materials to the various parts of the jewelry piece, then moved and rotated within a fully reflective environment. If clients are not available for onsite viewing of finished designs, realistic images can be sent to the customer for final approval in a rotatable 3D pdf.
For more information on all these features and Delcam’s ArtCAM JewelSmith JCK Show Special, stop by the booth B6682. Or call Delcam directly at 1.877. 335. 2261.
