Introduction.
ArtCAM JewelSmith is a complete 3D design and manufacturing solution. Based on the
ArtCAM Pro framework, JewelSmith provides further tools specifically for Jewellery
designers and manufacturers.
With ArtCAM JewelSmith a wide range of complex 3D rings, pendants and other items of
jewellery can be generated. These items can be machined rotary, flat or inside or by a
combination to produce the finished wax model. They can be displayed in a variety of metals
with the gemstones to show the final piece.
ArtCAM JewelSmith Projects
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. When this project is initially created, a 3D master model file
(* 3DP) is also created. The Master model file can be best described as a repository for all the
finished components. Each component within this master model file can then be freely
positioned, combined and manipulated (e.g. shaded, scaled) in 3D space.
Each of these components is known as a 3D assembly (*3DA) and is created as a triangular
mesh replica from the conventional ArtCAM model (*.art).
Any number of these 3D assemblies can be contained within the 3D master model.
The main advantage of using this system of creating and storing is that it allows assembly of
separate components. For example, gems, settings and a ring shank can be created separately
but then assembled in the master model to create a finished piece. This finished piece can then
be machined as a whole using the powerful Multi-Sided Machining Wizard.
When a JewelSmith project is created, a new folder is
created on your computer.
