Mastercam, the world leader in
CAM software* brings its power and experience to artistic
relief design and cutting with Mastercam Art. Now you can
quickly bring your 2D sketches, clip art, photos, and CAD
files to life by crafting them on screen and cutting them
with easy, specialized toolpaths. Creating basic 2D art to
sophisticated 3D sculpture in minutes, Mastercam Art is the
ultimate tool for anyone trying to add that extra sculpted
flair to their work.
Mastercam Art
puts sculptured 3D artwork within everyone's reach - without
the need to be a surface modeling expert. You quickly shape
and change your model on-screen until it looks just the way
you want it. Art has great visualization tools and instant
editing features, including dimensional and non-dimensional
input options.
It's common to
re-use your creation settings on various jobs. Mastercam Art
lets you save off your favorite combinations as "presets,"
ready to be used again in an instant.
Mastercam Art's
power is its ability to create complex organic surfaces with
a few simple clicks. Once you have selected the basic
outline of your project, you can quickly "puff it up" by
applying a cross-section to it. You can create your own, or
use a dynamic cross-section from the included library.
You choose to
refine your cross-section shape "by eye" through clicking
and dragging control points on the graph, or with
mathematical precision by entering values.
Mastercam Art's
various application styles let you add, subtract, intersect,
and blend multiple organic shapes. You can test a variety of
dramatically different looks by simply choosing various
application styles for each shape.
Beginners can
create their first complex models by defining shapes from
clipart or their own scanned artwork. Experienced CAD/CAM
users have a full range of modeling tools to create even
more sophisticated pieces. And in all cases, Mastercam Art
tracks your model step by step, allowing quick and easy
modifications any time you want.
Model using a
"quick" screen resolution for fast redraws and
experimentation. You can boost the resolution at any point
to get a crisp model with as much detail as you need.
Once
you've modeled your project, Mastercam Art gives you a wide
variety of cutting techniques to ensure the part comes off
the machine exactly how you imagined it.

Mastercam Art's toolpaths are created specifically for accurately
machining artistic surfaces. Built with an eye toward speed, these
toolpaths give you machine-ready results - usually in seconds.
Mastercam gives you a powerful set of
techniques/strategies to fit every project. Roughing toolpaths use big
tools for quick stock removal, while finishing toolpaths use smaller
tools to pick up the detail. You can choose ball, bullnose, flat, and a
variety of taper cutters.
Mastercam Art starts with a clean "canvas"
to which you add your art. These canvases can easily be combined into a
single project, letting you model highly detailed work on a "high
resolution" canvas section and looser work on a "medium resolution"
section. This can dramatically speed your modeling and programming time.
You can also put these canvases on different machining planes for added
flexibility.
Mastercam's Operations Manager lets you edit your cut strategies at any
time, and generate a new toolpath with a single click. You can also save
off successful sets of strategies, and apply them quickly to future
jobs.
See what your part will look like when it
comes off the machine with Mastercam's solid-model toolpath
verification. Watch the part being cut on-screen, and inspect it by
rotating and zooming in on any detail.
Mastercam lets you go from "art to part"
with a single software package. A simple process takes you from your
flat art to a beautifully sculpted piece that comes off the machine with
exactly the look you want.
Bring in clip art, a CAD file, or a scanned
sketch or photograph. Mastercam Art converts the artwork into flat,
machinable geometry, giving you a basic palette from which to craft your
finished model. If you
need ideas to start your project, Mastercam's Classic Art Library gives
you 5,000 artistic elements to easily place in your model.
Quickly create a full 3D sculpture from your
2D artwork by picking elements of your flat art. Mastercam "puffs up"
the art using a cross-section you control. You can add or remove one
section from another, and easily modify the model by eye to make sure
it's exactly what you want.
Pick one of Mastercam Art's specialized
toolpaths to cut your project. These fast, reliable cut strategies are
easily modified, letting you quickly try out a variety of cut techniques
for the perfect result.
Using Mastercam's solid-model verification,
you can see an on-screen simulation of your cut part before you put
stock on the machine.
