The ArtCAM software product range provides a unique CAD modeling and CNC CAM machining solution. ArtCAM allows you to create high quality products from 2D artwork faster than you ever thought possible.

The ToolBox - Key Features of ArtCAM Insignia

ArtCAM Insignia provides the functionality to entirely cad design and CNC machine a range of 2D and 3D products for industries such as: sign making, woodworking, marquetry and intarsias, engraving and ice sculpting, amongst many others.  As well as having a complete array of advanced vector design and layout tools, Insignia also contains complementary 3D design options to add embellishments and dimension to a design.

To aid this design process, users can fully customise Insignia’s user interface by hiding any unused tools, creating shortcuts for their frequently used commands or making their own toolbox.

Once happy with the work, ArtCAM’s inbuilt wizards will ensure that no matter the size or complexity of your design, it will be machined accurately and as quickly as possible to minimise machining time.

Design Process

ArtCAM Insignia comes with a multitude of 2D and 3D design tools to help you create highly intricate and detailed designs. 

2d design - create vector artwork or import designs

2D Design

Create your vector artwork: completely within the software using Insignia's advanced design tools; trace images that you have imported; or use the free vector art in its expandable vector library.
