Each square is given a height in ArtCAM dependent upon the command used. The dragon model shows the 2D view of the model broken up into a number of squares (pixels). When dealing with bitmaps and Reliefs it is important to understanding Resolution, which will influence the overall surface detail of the relief and ultimately the final piece. ArtCAM can import 3D models and generate reliefs from them. These vectors (2D artwork) and bitmaps (images) can be generated within ArtCAM or imported from other systems. The component /assembly (*3DA) folders contains the actual ArtCAM model (*.art files) DesignĪrtCAM Reliefs (3D Models) are created from 2D vectors or bitmaps.
This folder contains the master model (called *.3DP) and component folders for each part of the Master model. When a JewelSmith project is created, a new folder is created on your computer. This finished piece can then be machined as a whole using the powerful Multi-Sided Machining Wizard. For example, gems, settings and a ring shank can be created separately but then assembled in the master model to create a finished piece.
The main advantage of using this system of creating and storing is that it allows assembly of separate components. shaded, scaled) in 3D space.Įach of these components is known as a 3D assembly (*3DA) and is created as a triangular mesh replica from the conventional ArtCAM model (*.art).Īny number of these 3D assemblies can be contained within the 3D master model. Each component within this master model file can then be freely positioned, combined and manipulated (e.g. The Master model file can be best described as a repository for all the finished components. When this project is initially created, a 3D master model file (* 3DP) is also created. To allow greater freedom and complex 3D design, ArtCAM JewelSmith adopts a unique process of model making, where by all associated files or components are created and stored within a single Project folder. They can be displayed in a variety of metals with the gemstones to show the final piece. These items can be machined rotary, flat or inside or by a combination to produce the finished wax model. With ArtCAM JewelSmith a wide range of complex 3D rings, pendants and other items of jewellery can be generated. Based on the ArtCAM Pro framework, JewelSmith provides further tools specifically for Jewellery designers and manufacturers. ArtCAM JewelSmith is a complete 3D design and manufacturing solution.
