To prevent this, the ArtCAM Express Vector Tools module comes with the necessary tools to reduce all these factors so that you can quickly CNC machine your designs without reducing their aesthetic appeal. Some vector artwork can look extremely impressive before it is machined but due to the nature in which certain shapes or vectors are created means that they are either made up of a large number of straight lines or Bezier curves which can affect: the time required to calculate the toolpath machine the actual piece or result in an unsatisfactory finish.

What's more, this ArtCAM Express module is also ideal for ensuring your vector art is ready for CNC machining. If any changes are required this will only affect that specific layer rather than having to recreate the vector design.Īny of the vector layers can then be exported out into the Vector library and used to create other ArtCAM models, helping you to not only speed up the design process but also increasing productivity.Īdditionally, if you need to work with imported files such as DXF files, which are typically used for furniture and cabinetry design packages, or other layered file formats such as PDFs, AI or DGK their vector layers including layer names and any applied colours will automatically be duplicated within ArtCAM Express. These can then be turned on and off while you are designing so that you can find the best combination.

When creating your vector designs it allows you to draw vectors (lines) either individually or in sections on a number of different layers.

The ArtCAM Express Vector Tools Module is extremely useful for designing and machining your vector artwork.
