A new piece of software has been released to help designers and architects develop theme and leisure park projects.
ArtCAM 2010, by Birmingham-based manufacturer Delcam, allows designers to scan in miniature 3D sculptures - which can then be scaled up or down - or to work in a more conventional 2D computer-assisted design (CAD) programme, which can then be imported into ArtCAM.
Further embellishments or detail can then be added to the model using the programme's sculpting tools.
ArtCAM boasts a 3D pdf viewer, which embeds a dynamically viewable 3D model of the final design in a printable document, which can then be emailed to the customer for approval.
Delcam has incorporated technology from its manufacturing system, PowerMill, into ArtCAM 2010. This enables faster calculation times and, using a new simulation, allows the designer to review the model - and the tools selected to make it - before the machining process.
