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 DesignCreate 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. |
|
Free 3D ModelsTo add embellishment to a design, you can import a number of 3D models or chose one of the free 3D models in ArtCAM Insignia’s extensive 3D relief clipart library. |
|
3D DesignInsignia’s 3D modelling capabilities allow you to instantly create a 3D relief from an image, any selected colour or vector artwork. 3D models can then be added to with textures, smoothed or sliced for CNC machining, amongst others. |
