Delcam to Launch ArtCAM JewelSmith at Spring Fair 2008
 BIRMINGHAM,
UK, Dec 6, 2007 - Delcam will launch the latest version of its award-winning ArtCAM JewelSmith CADCAM software at the
Spring
Fair to be held at the NEC, Birmingham, from 3rd to 7th February. This
new release offers improved ease of use, faster and more robust operation,
and better interoperability with other software. ArtCAM JewelSmith is
already established as the main design and manufacturing software for the
jewelry industry and the new features in this release seem certain to
consolidate its leading position.
ArtCAM JewelSmith improves visualization
“The feedback from our customers was that ArtCAM JewelSmith already
offered the tools they needed for faster and higher quality design and
manufacture of jewelry,” claimed ArtCAM Development Manager Edward Powell.
“While they felt that the key to the software’s popularity was its ease of
use, we were sure that we could provide further simplification. We have
moved a long way towards making ArtCAM JewelSmith even easier to learn and
use with the current release.”
The main change has been to the ArtCAM Project format that allows
multiple components to be combined to create an intricate model. In earlier
versions of the software, the models representing the individual components
had to be kept as separate files. JewelSmith 2008 now allows multiple
independent models, of differing size, resolution and materials, to be
created within a single file.
In addition, a new Project Tree has been added to give an intuitive
method of creating and manipulating the components within the overall
design. This uses many of the standards and conventions of Windows Explorer
to make learning and using the system straightforward and efficient. For
example, components can be moved and copied between Projects simply by
dragging with the mouse.
The new release also sees all the specific jewelry tools and wizards
consolidated into the core of the product for the first time. Previously,
many of these options existed as distinct programs and macros linked to the
main software. The consolidation has allowed many of these functions to be
re-written so that they now operate more quickly and more reliably.
The rendering within the software has been improved to enable
higher-quality images to be generated for potential customers and retailers.
The speed with which ArtCAM JewelSmith can prepare design proposals for
client approval has always been a major benefit of the system. The ability
to prepare superior visualizations of new designs will make it even more
likely that the client will place an order.
For users that are new to machining, the new ArtCAM JewelSmith
incorporates a step-by-step wizard that automates all the steps required to
produce a finished piece with simple raster roughing and finishing
toolpaths. It can be used for models created within the software, designs
imported from other sources, or any of the 3D clipart library supplied with
the software.
Users had also requested improved interoperability with other CAD systems
to make it easier to accept models from clients using different software or
to retrieve designs created with earlier programs. ArtCAM JewelSmith 2008
can now import models in a huge range of other formats, including Rhino,
Alias Wavefront and SolidWorks, as well as the major generic file types such
as IGES & STL
