How does adding a CNC Router or and/or ArtCAM benefit my current business?

ArtCAM 5 has many tools to benefit a company that already owns or is considering adding a CNC Router or CNC Mill.

Helping you secure business, which previously you would not have been able to bid on, or would have had to sub-contract out due to inability to build it. ArtCAM customers are amazed how much referral work they pick up. The variety of work you can produce gives you a competitive edge over all the other shops doing the "same old thing".

Using what was previously inactive time on your CNC, with long running, but high paying jobs.

To improve delivery times and create more profit on existing work. Time savings can be used to increase production or free you up for other important tasks.

Higher quality product to provide customers something that you can charge premium pricing for.

When making multiple parts, the ability to re-use existing models makes families of products or theme jobs much more profitable. This means that with a few man hours programming you can setup many parts to run one after the other, even through the night to make variations or copies of the same sign. Especially useful for housing developments, hotels, stores, parks, zoo's etc.

ArtCAM offers many unseen benefits to a business even outside of its main focus.

One key advantage often missed by people looking at ArtCAM is the potential to become a sub contract shop for other signmakers, moldmakers, etc. who occasionally require this type of work.

The combination of ArtCAM and a CNC Machine allow expansion into many areas including, work for Museum Displays, Exhibition Work, Topographical Map making, Concrete Molds, Architectural Pieces and Woodwork (to name but a few). This variety can allow you to minimize seasonal business variation and also to break into more steady revenue projects. These could be producing "art" pieces or low volume production parts for local manufacturers.

When you choose to add ArtCAM to your business you are not simply purchasing software. As well as acquiring some of the most advanced technology in the industry you are also starting a relationship between your company, one of our expert resellers and Delcam. It is our aim that you achieve success with ArtCAM and add value to your business. The benefits of working with Delcam and our select resellers can be summed up as follows.

ArtCAM Pro has been on the market for the past 7 years. It is developed by Delcam PLC, a company with more than 25 years continuous experience in providing 3d CNC machining solutions to some of the largest manufacturing organizations in the world. Worldwide, Delcam sells over 75 million dollars (US) of software and services every year. Your investment in ArtCAM will be rewarded with quality and longevity in support, training and future developments. Each year significant functions continue to be developed and added to the software while we remain focused on ensuring that the software remains easy to use with a clean and simple interface. This maintains ArtCAM at the highest end of technology and also maximizes the users productivity.

In 25 years Delcam has had only one goal and that is producing 3D modeling and machining software. The staff at Delcam and its 40 offices worldwide are dedicated to making software of the highest quality. It is important that this is not just reflected in a high level of functionality but also in "hidden" benefits such as efficient toolpath generation and stability.

ArtCAM can provide all the functions needed to create dimensional product, but more and more companies may use a number of "best in class" solutions in their business. This can include, dedicated photo editing packages, graphics packages and even 3D surface modeling software. ArtCAM has a wide array of import options allowing seamless integration with other programs. This data can be edited in ArtCAM with as much flexibility as native data.

To create dimensional shapes some of the most important attributes are the 2D to 3D modeling tools. There are many existing 3D models available but it can be hard to find the correct one or they can be low quality and expensive. It is important therefore to have the tools available to build it yourself. ArtCAM is industry leading in its 2D to 3D modeling tools. Functionality like the 2 rail sweep, weave wizard and texturing make it easy and quick to take your designs from 2D to 3D.

In addition to ArtCAM, Delcam develops very high end software for use in manufacturing, this is a huge benefit to future releases of ArtCAM as the development team is able to draw from a resource of over 100 people.

Due to our experience in software development you get options in ArtCAM's machining which let you cut the part in the most efficient way possible. There is a tool library to aid in cutter selection, you can accurately and easily control the areas you are cutting to minimize machining time and maximize finish quality. The accuracy of the toolpaths means the part can come off the Router without needing hand finishing. You can also control which areas are machined, and cut out individual parts to build as components, this helps with reducing material waste and makes painting and assembly much easier.

The companies who sell ArtCAM Pro are selected on their ability to support and train their customers. We deliberately have a low number of resellers to maintain quality service. This means that when you buy ArtCAM you are not just handed a box, but receive first class training and if you need help can receive it quickly to keep downtime to a minimum. We can also offer competitive leasing which gives time for you to master and market the options ArtCAM will add to your business.
