Delcam adds functionality to ArtCAM Pro 2015 R2

The 2015 R2 version of Delcam’s ArtCAM Pro artistic CADCAM software, which is aimed at the signmaking and engraving industries, features improvements in design and machining, including the ability to create support structures for 3D printing, easier designing with vectors, more design options with real-time updating and faster machining simulations.

The main enhancement for ArtCAM Pro 2015 R2 is the ability to create support structures for 3D printing. Users can generate intelligent support structures, either manually or automatically, and can also use batch assembly for the printing of multiple items.

ArtCAM users that design with vectors will benefit from two newly developed options. Firstly, ‘snap hints’ now appear to help in locating hard-to-find snap points within vectors when creating designs. Secondly, the thickness of vectors can be changed in either the 2D or 3D view, making it easier to visualise the design.
