Delcam is to release a new 'entry level' version of its ArtCAM Pro software for 2D and 2.5D CNC Routing and Engraving - ArtCAM Insignia. Designed for the professional user, ArtCAM Insignia includes comprehensive design and layout tools and creates fast accurate and most importantly, reliable CNC toolpaths.

ArtCAM Insignia's extensive machining strategies include: Precision 3D engraving & V-carving, 3D bevel carving for impressive raised lettering, integrated true shape nesting for minimizing material wastage, automatic pocketing with multiple tools for efficient machining cycles, cut-out passes with control for leads, ramping, interactive bridging tabs and final pass 'onion-skin' thickness for maximum vacuum suction, hole drilling and interactive toolpath sequencing to ensure parts are cut in the order you want.

Machining time estimation and realistic 3D toolpath simulation let you verify your jobs before sending them to the CNC machine. Postprocessors / drivers are available for virtually all types of CNC machines.

ArtCAM Insignia takes bitmap and vector artwork and generates machining instructions for all sizes of product, from small pieces of jewelry to furniture, signs and woodcarvings. The software is extremely easy to use, with unique In-line help that includes online video & audio tutorials to help you get the most from the software.

Designs can be created using ArtCAM Insignia's comprehensive drawing and text creation tools. Alternatively, they can be imported from other graphics packages (dxf, eps, ai) or as bitmap images or scans (bmp, tif, gif, jpg). Once created, designs can easily be edited, rotated or scaled within the software. Special tools allow text to be placed along or around any shape of curve.
